Hamburger SV beat Mainz 05 6-1 in the Frauen Bundesliga on Friday 13 November, with Camilla Linberg scoring twice at the Wolfgang-Meyer-Sportanlage in Hamburg-Stellingen. The hosts were four goals up inside 24 minutes.
Linberg sets the tone in Hamburg’s 24-minute opening burst
Linberg needed 3 minutes to open the scoring, converting a pass from Svea Stoldt. Leïla Peneau added the second on 15 minutes, set up by Paulina Bartz, and Linberg made it 3-0 four minutes later from Nikola Karczewska’s assist.
Karczewska then provided again for Doucouré on 24 minutes. Mainz pulled one back through Nadine Anstatt on 41 minutes. It stayed 4-1 at the break.
Linberg was rated 9.17, the highest on the pitch, before making way after 84 minutes. Her two goals take her to 4 in the league this season, eighth in the division’s scoring chart.
Karczewska and Stoldt finish off Mainz late on
The second half was scrappier. Mainz were booked four times, through Anstatt on 58 minutes, Kara Bathmann on 67, Johanna Berg on 78 and Lara Martin on 89, and committed 18 fouls to Hamburg’s 7.
Hamburg struck twice more at the end. Karczewska scored on 87 minutes from Bartz’s second assist of the evening, and Stoldt added the sixth in the 90th minute. Karczewska, who finished with a goal and two assists and a rating of 8.67, was then shown a yellow card in stoppage time.
The finishing was ruthless. Hamburg had 55% of the ball and 7 shots on target, scoring six times from expected goals of 1.54. Mainz produced 1.08 expected goals from 9 attempts but beat Hamburg’s goalkeeper only once.
Mainz still without a point after 10 matches
The result ends a difficult run for Brancão’s side. Before Friday, Hamburg had gone five matches without a win in all competitions, a sequence that included a 4-4 draw and a 4-3 defeat against Union Berlin and a 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen.
Hamburg are 12th with 9 points from 10 games and a goal difference of 2. That puts them one point ahead of 13th-placed Nürnberg, who have a game in hand.
Mainz have yet to take a point. They are 14th after 10 defeats from 10 league games, with a goal difference of minus 30, and this was their third successive league defeat by at least two goals after losses to Werder Bremen and Stuttgart.
Hamburg’s next test is a trip to third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, who have 17 points, on Saturday 21 November. Mainz host Nürnberg, the side directly above them, on Sunday 22 November.
