Eimsbüttel stops railway workers: dream of promotion in danger!

In the exciting exchange of blows in the Hamurg Oberliga, there was an unexpected end for the Eisenbahner TSV on September 5, 2025, who had to give up for the first time after six wins in a row. Eimsbütteler TV (ETV) triumphed 3-1 at Mittler Landweg and thus took a significant step in the table to catch up with the leaders. As the Mopo reports, ETV coach Can Schultz was very impressed with the performance of his protégés and emphasized the more mature style of play.

The match started brilliantly and both teams had their chances before Jon Pauli gave ETV the lead in the 21st minute. However, the TSV railway team didn't let up and had good chances before half-time, but failed due to the Eimsbüttel defense. So it happened that Erolind Krasniqi equalized right after the break, in the 46th minute. This phase showed that the railway workers at least retained a strong fighting spirit. But Eimsbüttel turned up the heat. Captain Bamo Mohamed scored from a corner in the 63rd minute to make it 2-1, and when Eisenbahner keeper Tom Müller let a shot slip through his fingers in the 72nd minute, the final score of 3-1 was sealed.

Eimsbüttel's spirit of optimism

This game marks a return to old strength for Eimsbütteler TV after the club spent a year in the regional league. Coach Can Schultz, who previously coached the U17s, wants to strengthen the club's own identity and focuses on training young talents. As the Oberliga.info notes, the team is looking strong with an average squad size of 23.4 and has already signed 10 new players to fire up the competition this season.

Eimsbüttel had already played many test games in preparation, including an impressive 10-0 against Billstedt and further victories against Union Tornesch (3-0) and Kaltenkirchener TS (5-1). The return to the top league brings both pressure and opportunities, because after a difficult start to the season with a big gap to the relegation place, the team is now in a better position.

The championship race remains exciting

The championship race in the Hamburg Oberliga remains exciting. With the win against Eisenbahner TSV, Eimsbüttel has reduced the gap to first place and is now in the chasing role. Teams like Dassendorf could also rise to the top of the table next Sunday, which makes things even more exciting. Eisenbahner coach Jan-Philipp Rose announced that his team is ready to start a new series and does not want to be discouraged by this setback.
