Kiel get another one as Bartels reduces the deficit yet further. Hold onto your hats for the final minute or so!

KIEL PULL ONE BACK!
Heyer's scored one at each end now as Kiel get their consolation goal. A harmless-looking cross from the Kiel right loops into the box and Heyer misjudges his clearance, turning it into his own net instead of hoofing it away.

SUPERB FINISH!
Game, set and match! HSV counter and the ball is played through to Reis, who skips past a couple of challenges inside the box before walloping a left-footed drive high into the net.

SKRZYBSKI SURELY!
The forward collects a beautifully disguised pass that dissects the HSV defence. He's only got Heuer Fernandes to beat and attempts a dink over the goalkeeper, but gets it all wrong and the ball bobbles wide.

THROWING CAUTION TO THE WIND
Kiel are having one last throw of the dice as they bid to claw their way back by bringing on two attack-minded players in Bartels and Wriedt. They've got about 20 minutes to produce something!

LEAD DOUBLED!
Kiel had been pushing for an equaliser in the his half, having had four shots on goal to HSV's one after the break, but once again the visitors have shown a ruthless streak in front of goal as Heyer rises highest to meet a corner from the right, thundering his effort in from the edge of the six-yard box.

ARP GOAL DISALLOWED
The Kiel forward has the ball into the net after prodding in from close range but it won't count as the referee blows his whistle for a previous foul by Wahl on Heuer Fernandes.

PROMISING POSITION
Arp takes a free-kick wide on the left. It's a teasing one into the box and difficult to defend, but a defender gets his head to it and clears for a corner.

HSV GOING FOR IT?
Up-and-coming striker Königsdörffer comes on for Jatta. It's a bit of a surprise to see him taken off as he's been lively and dangerous going forward.

SKRZYBSKI ON THE VOLLEY
Kiel are trying to find a way back into this game and get forward well down the left. It's crossed into the box, where Skrzybski is arriving at the back post, but his well-taken volley is blocked.

UPHILL BATTLE FOR KIEL
HSV have now gone over five hours (315 minutes) without conceding away from home this season.
47'
GLATZEL INCHES AWAY!
Some lovely interplay from HSV as the ball is worked over to the right to Jatta. He crosses straight away to Glatzel, who is arriving at the back post, but he's just too late to get there.

UNDER WAY AGAIN!
The ball is rolling once more in Kiel. Can the hosts turn it around?

HSV IN FRONT AT THE BREAK
Kiel will be kicking themselves that not only are they not in front, but they're actually losing this game. They've been by far the better side, created more and better chances but just haven't been able to put them away. HSV grew into the game as a result and a striker a clinical as Glatzel does not need many opportunities to find the net.

AERIAL THREAT
Glatzel has now scored a league-high three headed goals this season, taking his tally to five in Bundesliga 2 in 2022/23. Eight of his last 12 goals have also been headers.
39'
GLATZEL OPENS THE SCORING!
A goal that is brilliantly simple in its creation and simply brilliant in its execution. Dompe shows a clean pair of heels to Becker down the HSV left and crosses into the middle for the unmarked Glatzel, who heads in from 10 yards!

ARP MUST SCORE... BUT NO!
Arp charges forward, skips past a challenge and suddenly finds himself with just Heuer Fernandes to beat. He's slightly right of centre, which is perhaps why he doesn't fancy it, and chooses to pull the ball back for Reese, but his pass is way too strong and the Kiel No.11 can't control it. Arp really should have gone for goal himself there.
33'
CHANCE FOR KITTEL!
The HSV playmaker receives the ball on the edge of the Kiel area, left of centre. It bounces and sits up for him nicely, and he has a clear sight of goal but smashes his shot straight at Dähne.
32'
ERRAS CLEARS OFF THE LINE!
Dompe's trickery on the left creates some space for him to cross. Dähne comes off his line to clear but can only paw it onto the head of Jatta at the back post. He heads it goalwards but Erras is well placed to clear off the line. That's HSV's best chance so far!
31'
STORM WEATHERED?
It's been almost 10 minutes since Kiel last had a shot at goal and HSV are gradually looking more confident on the ball and getting forward more regularly.

MUHEIM WITH HSV'S FIRST SHOT
Kiel only half-clear a cross from the left into their box and it falls kindly for left-back Muheim, whose well-struck, first-time drive skids towards goal. Dähne sees it all the way though, and saves down to his left.

ARP AGAIN!
Will this be one of those games where Kiel have all the chances but end up losing 1-0 to a goal on the counter? It's shaping up to be that way as Arp goes close again, drilling a shot at goal from 10 yards but not finding a way past Heuer Fernandes!
14'
ARP HEADS OVER
Kiel slice through HSV seemingly at ease after breaking up an attack and within seconds they're inside the Hamburg box, but Arp's header from a cross from the left sails well over.

REESE FROM RANGE!
Kiel are pushing for an opener and almost get it when Reese's shot from 25 yards, right of centre, almost catches Heuer Fernandes off guard, but the goalkeeper recovers well to tip it over the bar.

FIRST GLIMPSE FROM HSV
Jatta chases a long ball over the top and his pace causes the home defence some trouble, but they're just able to clear before he can get a shot away.

KIEL AGAIN!
Defender Erras leaps highest to meet the resulting corner but goalkeeper Heuer Fernandes reacts well, diving low to his left to keep it out!

FIRST CHANCE FOR KIEL!
A nice break forward down the left and Skrzybski darts to the near post to connect with a cross, but a defender just gets there first and prods the ball out for a corner.
