Hamburg 1-2 Everton: Match Report & Instant Reaction | Late OG gives Blues win

Everton began their preseason in Germany with a trip to Hamburger SV at the Volksparkstadion, turning a competitive first half into a 2-1 victory. After earlier results—1-0 to Stoke City and a goalless draw with Bolton—manager David Moyes pushed for attacking rhythm following consecutive scoreless outings. Hayden Hackney returned to the starting XI, with Thierno Barry back up top and Iroegbunam driving the midfield. Everton scored when Barry brought the ball back to Röhl, who finished into the top corner. Hamburger pressure built after halftime, including a near miss by Patson Daka, before a late own goal sealed the win.
