Hertha fought for the first point: Kenny meets at the last minute

a combative point for Hertha BSC in an exciting game

In an exciting duel in the Bundesliga, Jonjoe Kenny secured the first point of this season in the 86th minute. This phrase was celebrated with enthusiasm by the fans of the sold -out stadium, in which 57,000 spectators came together. A year ago, however, the situation for the Berliners was much more difficult because they had started the season with three defeats.

dominance of the Hamburgers and the early deficit

The hosts, trained by Steffen Baumgart, started the game strongly and took the lead through Ransford Königsdörffer in the 11th minute. The only 22-year-old player had already made convincingly at the start of the season against 1. FC Köln. However, this early goal put the strategic efforts of the Herthaner to a tough test.

a meeting of the two teams

After the first goal, the Hamburgers increasingly took control of the game. Ludovit Reis had the opportunity to expand the lead in the 26th minute, but failed. Even if the Hertha was initially able to build on the strong game after the change of sides, the longed -for compensation failed to do so. Linus Gechter had only hit the post in the 58th minute and thus awarded a promising chance.

a drama in the final minutes

The end of the game promised drama: Immanuel Pherai failed with a free kick on the post (85th), but almost in direct return Jonjoe Kenny redeemed the Berlin followers with his equalizer. This scene not only illustrates the tension of the game, but also the resilience of Hertha BSC, which despite the setbacks did not give up.

The importance of the point for the season

The point win against Hamburger SV could be of crucial importance for the team in order to regain trust in one's own strength. Compared to last season, in which the Herthans were faced with a difficult starting point, the current situation already shows initial progress. The team will now endeavor to take this swing into the upcoming games and collect further points.
