Nuremberg fights against Hertha: points urgently needed to stay in the league!
Matchday on Sunday offered everything a football fan could desire. In the Max Morlock Stadium, 1. FC Nürnberg met Hertha BSC Berlin and demanded everything from the guests. After an exciting game, the Nuremberg team had to admit defeat 0-2 NDR reported.
The hosts from Nuremberg started with a lot of enthusiasm and had a good opportunity in the first half through their player Schmelzer, who hit the crossbar. However, this attempt pointed to the offensive, which was anything but convincing this season. Overall, FCN had difficulties in the first half with several attempted shots on goal and were unable to crack the Berlin defense.
The game at a glance
Derry Scherhant put Hertha BSC on the road to victory with his first goal in the 37th minute. At halftime the Berlin team led 1-0. After the break, Nuremberg appeared to have improved defensively, but remained unimaginative on offense. Palkó Dárdai made the final score 2-0 in stoppage time (90th minute).

| team | Goals | place in the table |
|---|---|---|
| Hertha BSC | 2 | 7. |
| 1. FC Nuremberg | 0 | 16. |
The defeat of 1. FC Nürnberg is disappointing, especially since the club has only managed to collect four points from three home games in the league so far. The offensive record is also anything but rosy with only four goals scored in the overall standings of the 2nd Bundesliga. With one win this season, the Nuremberg team are in 16th place in the table and urgently need points to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Outlook for the upcoming games
It doesn't get any easier for Nuremberg, because next week the team from Franconia will face Hannover 96. Hertha BSC, on the other hand, would like to carry the momentum from this victory into the next game against SV 07 Elversberg. The game was special for coach Cristian Fiél because he returned to his former place of work and did not disappoint.
Overall, the game was another example that both teams still have a lot to improve on this season to realize their ambitions. Both Nuremberg and Hertha are faced with the challenge of strengthening their offense and optimizing their points tally. World reports that the last meeting in the preseason against Hertha also ended without a win, which makes the current result all the more regrettable.
