First serious test for HSV was successful 100%.
Visiting Spain for the match against Villarreal,1st day of Europa League. A very mental chess battle against the Yellow Submarine.
We were lucky enough and our defense withstanded the first wave of attacks.
In a typical Rocky Balboa move, once we endured the pummel, we struck back, not crazy staff, some cobra hits.
Galeno opening the score in 59':

THE MATCH VIDEO:
Next league match is a derby in Dortmund. Unfortunately most of our players are depleted from EL and International Friendly Matched with their Nationals..
Brilliant result.
Just rest the team Vs BVB ,think having European succes is quite important ,but at the same balancing it with a good result in the league so you can play Europe next year again is tough.
Is your Bundesliga the PEU league?
Which means one team to the CL and one qualifying?
