Kisses for Magic-Magath! Magic goal by Suat Serdar and fulfillment of his birthday wish! Wear a turban and fight till you drop! And a Prince as leader! Hertha wins 1-0 in Augsburg, jumps to 15th place, wins the first of 5 finals for relegation. Happy Easter!
Coach Felix Magath does EVERYTHING right this time.
He put Boateng in the starting XI for the first time since October last year. The Prince: “I’ve always said I’ll give it my all. The coach said he needs me. It was nice. The coach asked me where I want to play. I said on the 10. He said then do that and tidy up the game. I was a bit sad when I was substituted, but there are still four finals.”
Boss Boateng becomes the decisive man in the relegation battle. He wins 75 percent of his duels – no Hertha player is better. And provoked most of the field with five fouls.
Magath: “He takes responsibility, has self-confidence, talks to players, organizes the team. We needed a character like that.”
Is correct! Boateng directs, conjures, is always playable. He’s allowed out after 70 minutes. But keep going full throttle. Boateng kept jumping off the bench, giving instructions to his teammates and motivating them with the “chest out” gesture. Strong!
Serdar is finally shining again. He wished for three points in Augsburg on Monday for his 25th birthday. Works – thanks to his magic gate!

Marco Richter, who made 109 Bundesliga appearances for FCA, returns the ball from the right baseline to the six-yard circle, where Serdar magics it through the legs of keeper Gikiewicz with his heel (!) – 1-0 (49th minute). )! Magath gets a big smack on the cheek from assistant Mark Fotheringham in the storm of cheers.
Victory is defended together. In the center: Santiago Ascacibar.
He collides with Niklas Dorsch, both have to be treated for minutes (16th). With a laceration and a turban, Ascacibar continues. Striker Selke, who replaces Befoldil, who was sorted out by Magath, is also doing an exemplary job.
Selke: “We had a very good plan against the ball, which worked for 90 minutes. We forced them to play long balls and rewarded ourselves with a beautiful goal. Then we had the mentality to make it happen over time.”
Then it’s over – the coaching team and team celebrate the victory together!
Magath: “It was a solid team performance today. Everyone gave everything, fought with and for each other. It wasn’t an undeserved win, but a lucky one.”
Happy Easter!
