Hamburg held on long-awaited Bundesliga return
Former European champion Hamburg SV played out a goalless draw at Borussia Monchengladbach in its first game back in the Bundesliga after a seven-year absence.
The 1983 European Cup winner, once nicknamed the Bundesliga's 'dinosaurs' for having been in the top division for the longest uninterrupted spell since the league's creation in 1963, suffered a shock first-ever relegation in 2018.
The six-time German champion shot out of the blocks with two corners, two shots on goal and 74 percent possession early in the first half.
Gladbach, however, had the biggest chance with Franck Honorat's close-range volley in the 28th, and the host was slightly more aggressive in the second half.
Hamburg thought it had snatched the win with an 89th-minute effort from Yussuf Poulsen but William Mikelbrencis's header from a metre out to push the ball over the line was ruled offside.
