Zidan lost his position for Peruvian striker Guerrero who scored the opening goal for HSV and assisted the 2nd vs Dortmund. In the 2nd half, terrible defending continued from Dortmund side and HSV scored their 3rd after taking advantage of the sending off of Kringe. Zizou came on in the 79th minute and made a positive impact as he had two close shots on goal.

Zidan started on bench but came on late in the 2nd half

Zidan's Hamburger SV acheived a precious 0-3 away win over Dortmund in the Bundesliga to jump into the 3rd position in the table. However, Zidan didn't play a big role in the game as he came on in the 79th minute.

Despite the positive impact that the Egyptian had when he was introduced to the field, the Peruvian striker Guerrero appeared to be on top form lately as he scored the first goal after a fatal defensive error against the aging Dortmund defense.

Not only this, but Guerrero did extremely well to outmuscle his marker in the right wing in the 42nd minute and lay the ball to Van der Vaart who scored from close range to double HSV's lead before half time.

In the 2nd half, defensive mistakes continued from the Dortmund side as their last man gave away possesseion too cheaply to Olic who had no problems finding the net in the 65th minute to make the score 0-3.

Things got even worse for the homeside after a foul from behind by Kringe on the Man of the match, Guerrero. The Dortmund player was already booked in the first half and so, he got a 2nd yellow and had to leave the field.


In the 79th minute, out of favor Zidan came on and replaced Guerrero. The Egyptian moved well into the empty spaces in Dortmund half. Zizou had two attempts on goal, the first when he cut into the middle from the left wing and tried a shot but it came off a defender and went for a corner. Zizou also had another chance when he made a superb run and fired a low shot at goal but his attempt went just wide. In addition two his two shots, Zidan also had a couple decent of flick-ons.

Zidan will hopefully get more playing time in the coming games, but so far, HSV's coach favors playing with a lone striker and Guerrero appears to be doing the job quite well at the moment.

It should be noted that Zidan can partner with Guerrero in attack and this could be a lethal combination with Van der Vaart supporting both forwards but Stevens is not keen on implementing this tactic by the looks of it.
