SV Elversberg temporarily improved to an ascent zone and fell into the crisis deeper. The team from Saarland won 2-0 (1-0) at the frighteningly weak capital club and underlined his status as a Berlin fear opponent. In the previous season, Elversberg had already won both league duels with the Berliners.
Starting eleven debutant Younes Ebnoutalib (5th minute/59.) Was the man of the game with his double pack. During his first goal, the Elversberger used a defense hitch by Hertha’s Marton Dárdai and outwitted goalkeeper Tjark Ernst from an acute angle. Herthas Linus Gechter had to leave the place in the 77th minute after his second warning. With two points from four games, the Berliners remain on a relegation zone.
The majority of the 39,680 spectators acknowledged the Berlin performance with whistles after a quarter of an hour. Nothing went offensive and the hosts did not develop any danger at all except for a minican by Maurice Krattenmacher in the 35th minute. Elversberg dominated and would have had to lead higher at half -time. Lasse Günther failed on the post.
After the break, substitute Sebastian Grönning only briefly revived the Berlin offensive game, the clear chances earned the guests. Günther’s attempt was initially able to parry Ernst, at Ebnoutalib’s shot from a short distance, he had no chance.
