In a turbulent second division game, Berlin’s Hertha scored three important three points against Magdeburg. 96 also celebrated – and passed Hamburger SV.
After the surprising away win at Greuther Fürth, Hertha BSC also won the home game against Magdeburg. In a spectacular second division game, the Dardai team narrowly prevailed 3-2 against Magdeburg, who had been outnumbered for a long time.
Captain Fabian Reese scored his first two goals after his corona infection. First he scored with a penalty kick (33′), then after a blocked shot from his strike partner Haris Tabakovic (59′).
Jean Hugonet (37th) was shown the red card at Magdeburg. Palko Dardai (39th) converted the free kick after his emergency brake. Baris Atik (22nd) and Tobias Müller (51st) scored for the guests. Tatsuya Ito (90+1) hit the crossbar in stoppage time – luck for Hertha.
Curious: Referee Florian Exner (Münster) preferred the half-time break. The fans in Berlin’s East Curve had thrown tennis balls onto the field, and Exner sent both teams to the dressing room. After 15 minutes the game continued with stoppage time in the first half, after which the players changed sides. A little later, the fans disrupted the game again with fireworks.
Hertha went into the duel with Magdeburg with self-confidence after the away win against promotion contenders SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Hopes rested on the offensive duo Reese/Tabakovic, which did not disappoint. Above all, top scorer Reese impressed us six with his number five goals of the season (eleven assists).
Hannover passes HSV
In the middle of the big dispute over majority shareholder Martin Kind, Hannover 96 won the top game of the 2nd Bundesliga against Greuther Fürth and continued their successful streak in the new year.
After a game interruption of more than 20 minutes due to renewed fan protests against the planned investor entry into the German Football League, the 96ers beat SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2-1 (0-1), thereby moving up to the relegation spot and moving past HSV, who are only fourth before the away game in Rostock and after the dismissal of coach Tim Walter.
In front of 31,500 spectators, Armindo Sieb gave Fürth the lead in the 29th minute. At the beginning of the second half, the game was interrupted because Hanover fans threw tennis balls onto the field several times. This break only helped their own team, because after the restart Phil Neumann (71st) and Nicolo Tresoldi (90th + 1) scored two more goals for the now much more powerful 96ers. The team of long-time Fürth coach Stefan Leitl has now won four games in a row and is once again a serious candidate for promotion.
