Hertha BSC remains untouchable in the 2. Bundesliga. The Berliners recorded their sixth league victory in a row in Dresden on Saturday: 1-2. When visiting Dynamo, the team fought back after an early knock, with Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson as the celebrated man thanks to two goals from distance.
Dynamo Dresden started brightly and took an early lead. Starting debutant Patrice Covic opened the score after ten minutes with a shot that deflected off an opponent. For Covic, who played for Hertha between 2015 and 2024, it was a spicy moment: scoring against his old club. The home team was better in the matches in the opening phase; Vermeij fell just short with a sharp cross.
Hertha had to look for attacking lines, but found the answer halfway through the first half. In minute 29, Thorsteinsson delivered a devastating strike from distance and aimed the ball straight into the bottom left corner: 1-1. The duel then remained open. Bobzien forced goalkeeper Gersbeck into a great save, after which Hertha reached halftime with the most danger. However, Grönning saw his attempt cleared just before the goal line by Straudi, and Adewumi shot too centrally in injury time. Both teams went to the dressing room with a fair 1-1.
After the break, Hertha immediately made a substitution: Nilsson came on for Grönning. The striker quickly scored 1-2 after strong preparatory work by Adewumi, but fumbled the ball over the empty goal from just three meters. Moments later, Hertha thought they had taken the lead after all when Adewumi headed home, but the goal was rightly disallowed after video footage: the attacker had hit the ball with his own hand.
Dresden hardly gave up anything offensively after the break. Hertha increased the pressure and had chances through Nilsson (twice within a minute) and substitute Alfa-Ruprecht, but the reward was not forthcoming. On the other side, substitute Daferner reported with onepossibility, which went over high. Hertha did strike in the transition: again Thorsteinsson was given too much space just before the sixteen, and with a precise slide into the bottom right corner he made it 1-2 in the 80th minute.
In the final phase, the leader controlled the match and it could even have gone further through opportunities for Gouram, Klemens and Nilsson in injury time. The score remained at 1-2, meaning Hertha continued its dream start: six wins from six matches, a club record that was further improved. The Berliners thus underline their leading position in the 2. Bundesliga and take a new step in the promotion race, while Dresden had no answer to the dominance of the guests after a strong first half.
What's happening now
With this victory, Hertha BSC looks forward with confidence to the next matches in the 2. Bundesliga. The team will have to prepare for the challenges ahead as they look to maintain their current form to defend their top position. The focus will be on improving the attacking lines and taking advantage of opportunities, such as Nilsson's, to maximize match impact.
