STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Hamburger SV’s five-year wait to rejoin the Bundesliga looks set to continue. Serhou Guirassy helped to put Stuttgart in a commanding position to keep its place in Germany’s top division with a 3-0 win over Hamburg on Thursday in the first leg of their playoff. Guirassy grabbed Stuttgart’s third goal early in the second half. Hamburg’s task was further complicated in the 69th minute when substitute Anssi Suhonen was sent off for a studs-up lunge at Josha Vagnoman’s thigh. The win puts Stuttgart on course to stay in the first division before the second leg in Hamburg on Monday. Hamburg finished third in the second division.
