Second division team Hertha BSC won a friendly against Oberliga leaders Hertha Zehlendorf 4-1 during the international break.
The goals for the professionals were scored in front of 3,211 spectators on the Ernst Reuter sports field: 0:1 Dudziak (21st), 1:2 Winkler (30th), 1:3 Tabakovic (33rd) and 1:4 Jindaoui (80th). ). George Didoss (25th) scored the goal for the fifth division team to make it 1-1 for the hosts.
More remarkable than the result on the Erste Reuter sports field: Kelian Nsona (21) is wearing the Hertha professional jersey for the first time in 20 months. The Frenchman plays for exactly 45 minutes and comes in the second half as a left winger with jersey number 28.
This means that a long period of suffering finally comes to an end. The Frenchman was signed by second division club Caen in January 2022 for a fee of 500,000 euros. At the time, the winger was considered one of the most sought-after talents in Europe in his home country. Big, fast, tricky, dangerous to score.
But since he tore his cruciate ligament on July 10, 2021, he hasn’t been able to get back on his feet properly. When the problem finally seemed solved, a slap on the knee followed. Consequence: problems with the cartilage and the next operation. Again on the right knee, which has a long scar.
Nsona says to BZ: “Those were two very long injuries, I’m really happy that I can finally play for Hertha.”
The game in Zehlendorf was a real new start for Nsona!
In addition to Nsona, Hertha coach Pal Dardai (47) is relying on many other talents in the second half. The very young team was led by Deyovaiso Zeefuik (25), who consequently received the captain’s armband. The next premiere that day.
This is how Hertha played in the first half: Kwasigroch – Kenny, Kiala, Kempf, Karbownik – Hussein, Dudziak – Winkler, Niederlechner, Reese – Tabakovic.
This is how Hertha played in the second half: Kwasigroch – Zeefuik, Stange, Matiebel, Lucoqui – Rölke, Kesik – Strasner, Jindaoui, Nsona – Scherhant.
