Ascantaspirant Hertha BSC simply does not get going in the 2nd Bundesliga.
The Berliners did not get over a 0-0 at Darmstadt 98 on the 3rd matchday and wait for the first victory with only two points in the account.
The Hertha has never won the 2nd league at the Böllenfall gate. It looks much better with the unbeaten lilies (seven points).
“We currently have a difficult phase,” said Hertha’s coach Stefan Leitl shortly before the kick -off at “Sky” with a view to the failures of Diego Demme and Paul Seguin: “Nevertheless, we have players in place who are good.”
The hosts were the better team in the initial phase. Nevertheless, the guests posted the first great option. Maurice Krattenmacher should have met after the preparatory work by captain Fabian Reese (14th). Five minutes later, a deflected shot landed on the post.
On the other hand, the post also saved, Aleksandar Vukotic missed a corner from a short distance (22nd). Shortly afterwards, Patric Pfeiffer set his header after a corner just next to the Berlin Tor (32nd).
The third aluminum hit went to the account of the Berliner Jon Dagur Thorsteinson, who hit the latte with a head (39.). In the second round, nothing happened over the gates over long distances – Reese then had the winning goal on the foot (90.+8).
