The penalty was also missed by many of Union\u2019s ultra fans, who only streamed into their places in the \u201cforest-side\u201d end of the stadium after 17 minutes when their presence was announced with a huge roar. Hamburg ultras entered the visitors\u2019 end a few minutes later.<\/p>\n
The supporters\u2019 rivalry continued after the break when the Hamburg fans displayed a huge tifo showing the team crest with the slogan, \u201cShout it out with pride if you carry this love inside.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Union fans waited for a countdown and then set off a massive synchronized pyrotechnic display that lit up the whole forest-side of the stadium with the resulting smoke causing a delay in play for several minutes.<\/p>\n
The Hamburg fans responded some minutes later with a pyrotechnic display of their own, sending more clouds of smoke wafting above the stadium. The game continued, but neither team could score.<\/p>\n

Hamburg midfielder Fabio Vieira was sent off in stoppage time for a high tackle on Leopold Querfeld.<\/p>\n
It was only the fourth competitive meeting between the clubs after two clashes in the second division in 2018-19. Their first meeting was the German Championship final in 1923 when Union was still playing as Union Obersch\u00f6neweide. Hamburg won the first of its six German titles 3-0.<\/p>\n
Stuttgart\u2019s revival<\/p>\n
Josha Vagnoman scored late as Stuttgart overcame a poor start to beat Cologne 2-1.<\/p>\n
Jakub Kaminski fired Cologne ahead in the fourth minute, but Ermedin Demirovi\u0107 converted a penalty for the visitors in the 28th after he\u2019d been fouled in the area by Cologne \u2019keeper Marvin Schw\u00e4be.<\/p>\n

Cologne had dominated to that point. But Stuttgart improved after the goal and finally got its reward when Vagnoman scored in the 81st after being sent through by Angelo Stiller.<\/p>\n
It was Stuttgart\u2019s first league win away from home and its third straight win across all competitions including Thursday\u2019s 2-1 win over Celta Vigo in the Europa League.<\/p>\n
Freiburg drew with Hoffenheim 1-1 in the early game.<\/p>\n
