The lead didn’t last for long though, as Thore Jacobsen drilled home a short from the edge of the box to restore parity (15’). It was the ‘Old Lady’ who then took actually the lead, with Gechter sweeping home following a scramble in the box from a corner (12’).
The guests seemed to have taken the lead at the Olympiastadion, but Paul Wanner’s goal was ruled out by VAR for handball (4’). Nader Jindaoui made the first team squad for the first time, with Tony Rölke also on the bench. Derry Scherhant replaced Marten Winkler in the front three. Pál Dárdai had to do without Toni Leistner for Hertha’s first game of December, with Linus Gechter replacing the captain at centre-back.
