Bowman is young but has rich experience
The goal for SC Freiburg was 22-year-old Oliver Baumann. But the 1.87 tall goalkeeper is in his third season in the Upper House.
With his professional attitude, the disciplined Bowman was able to earn a place in the SC goal. However, as he revealed in an interview with Baden-Zeitung, he is always “a little nervous” before games.
«It actually went well in the beginning. I misjudged the first pitch. “

HSV started well, forcing the home team into their own half. But no goals have been scored yet. After just 21 minutes, HSV center back John Djourou had to leave the field. On the other hand, Freiburg's Gelson Fernandez continued his dominance against the North Germans. Pierre-Michel Lasogga's (No. 29) shot was the closest to the Freiburg goal.

Seven minutes before half-time, the away team celebrated taking the lead. Oliver Baumann played an important role in this. Milan Badelj's long ball found its way into the Freiburg penalty area and Bowman ran out and burst under the ball to the horror of the 23,900 spectators. Maximilian Best's path is clear, he just has to push the ball in. Bowman later said of the opening goal: “In the beginning, it actually went pretty well. I misjudged the first goal.”

The second half begins with the goalie the same way the first half ended. Two minutes after the restart, the goalkeeper made another complete mistake in front of the penalty area, receiving a long pass from Van der Vaart and letting the ball slip out of his hands. “I wanted to get the ball in the zone,” Bowman said. This time Lassoga thanks you for the gift.

At 0:3, Bowman made another critical mistake. The former U21 national goalkeeper allowed Best's harmless shot to ricochet forward and beneficiary Van der Vaart could mark the final score with a duster.
“Lick me, how do I look? These actions are not going the way I planned. This will make me stronger.”

try to explain
After the final whistle, Bowman said goodbye to the HSV players and strolled to the fans corner, where SC fans cheered him on with chants.
The “collapse goalkeeper” then bravely responded to a Sky reporter's question, saying succinctly: “Fuck me, what do I look like? These actions didn't go the way I planned. This will make me stronger. “Of course it's a bad situation,” Bowman continued. “I hope this doesn't happen again.”

According to Der Spiegel, Bormann took comfort from his rival Rene Adler, who embraced the unfortunate man and said: “If anyone here can afford something like this, it's You.”
His coach Christian Strich was at a loss: “Today we experienced another situation that is not common in football. No one has an explanation for it.”
Months later, the now quiet guy in the gym said of these three mistakes: “It was very annoying because I had big plans. I just wanted too much in this game. Things went wrong and didn't work out. “
“Yes, done.”
Baumann was asked in an interview with German television station DF2 if he could now smile about the game.
Charlotte, Bowman's girlfriend at the time and now his wife, told us how the night ended up going: “We went home together and everything was relaxed, like always. It only took him an hour or two to sort it all out. Get it done, but he forgets everything quickly and it’s cool.”

As Bowman explained, Bowman was also comforted by referee Peter Gagman after the game. He is said to have told him: “Look, this is how you feel as a referee.”
In any case, the “unlucky” game against HSV did not damage Bowman's career. In the summer of 2015, he moved to Hoffenheim and became an integral part of Kreichgaur's goals. In October 2024, at the age of 34, he made his first appearance for the German national team.
