Vedad Ibisevic (51.), Dodi Lukebakio (52.), Matheus Cunha (61.) and Dedryck Boyata (77.) scored the goals in the empty Olympic Stadium. In contrast to the first game, the Hertha players were disciplined this time when celebrating the goal and kept the distance recommended by the German Football League (DFL). “We know exactly what the game means for our fans. We did a really good job, ”said Ibisevic. With 34 points, Hertha initially improved to tenth place.
With the losers, ÖFB team player Christopher Trimmel was the captain over the full distance. Union, which left the place without points for the third time in a row, is currently 12th in the table with 30 points. Most recently, it was also not enough to score at home 0-2 against leaders Bayern Munich. “The first 45 minutes were balanced. We have to talk for the second half, ”said Union Coach Urs Fischer.
Double stroke paves the way for Hertha
Before the game, the victims of the coronavirus pandemic had been thought of with a minute’s silence. The campaign also thanked the helpers in times of crisis. Both teams contested the game with black ribbon. The two clubs neutralized in the first half. Opportunities were scarce. At Hertha’s best opportunity, Union goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz was on the post (27th). The only dangerous goal action of the “Iron” was a free kick by Robert Andrich just over the goal (44th).
After the break, Hertha had ten minutes to show the city rival the limits. Ibisevic headed unopposed after a cross from Marvin Plattenhardt. 70 seconds later Lukebakio met for the ideal pass from Ibisevic. Cunha initiated his hit himself with a one-off action. Boyata headed for the end of the one-sided game, especially after the break.
