A masterclass from Miro Muheim
Marked 8.27 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Milton Giménez finally opens his account
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Hamburger SV have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
In brief
- Squad Younes Ebnoutalib is off the mark for Hamburger SV
