Zidan back to action with HSV

Hamburg achieved an easy win against Bochum by three goals to nil. The game was one-sided and Bochum couldn't cause enough danger to threaten HSV. On the other hand, the home side were more effective on goal and used their chances well.

HSV took the lead late on in the first half through Olic. The goal started with a fine through pass by Guerrero to Trochoveski who laid it directly with his left to OLic in front of goal and the latter made no mistake and scored.

In the 64th minute, Benjamin fired a low shot from way out, the goalkeeper of Bochum could only parry it and the ball fell to Jarolim who sent it home with his right to double HSV's lead.

In the 71st minute, Olic made an excellent run from the left wing and crossed low in front of goal to find Jarolim who sent the ball low to the left of the goalkeeper and made the score 3-0.

In the 74th minute, Stevens started to rest his key players and so he brought Zidan on at the expense of Olic and also replaced Jarolim and Trochoveski with two youngsters.


In the final minutes of the game, HSV tried to hold on the ball and use counter attacks while Bochum pushed men forward in a desperate try to score.

Zidan did well in the few minutes that he played, his passing was good and didn't give the ball away cheaply. However, it can be seen that he is not getting the ball often and his teammates either get the ball and go on goal by themselves or pass the ball across the field to other teammates.

Surely, a player of Zidan's skills and caliber deserves more playing time but he will unlikely have such time with Hamburg. It may be the time to think of moving on to another league that can appreciate talent more than physical play but its Zidan's decision in the end.
