Ivo Ilicevic 4/5

Produced a number of rangy runs down the left flank as he looked to exploit the space behind Piszczek. He had a lot of joy and scored with a powerful effort in the second half after tearing away from the Pole.

Milan Badelj 4/5

Dictated the play from the back for Hamburg whenever the got on the ball by spraying the ball about the pitch with immense quality. Everything flowed through him as he pulled all the strings in a great display.

Ivan Perisic 4/5

Was uninvolved in the first half but could not have contrasted more in the second. Always seemed to be able to find space and managed to net two goals, the first of which was a beauty. Could have added a third with a good free kick but Adler saved well.
