Stuttgart 4-3 HSV (Canales x2, Berg)
Once again, man of the match, Sergio Canales netted twice for the visitors but it wasn't enough to do any damage to the home team. An entertaining match i should say.
HSV 6-2 Mainz (Canales x2, Sanogo, Gouffran x3)
For the third time this season, HSV's attacking midfielder Sergio Canales, scored twice in a match but unfortunately for him, Yoann Gouffran was handed the man of the match after bagging his first hat trick of the season. This is the highest scoring game so far.
