Overview
- Bottom-placed Magdeburg won 2:0 in Berlin, halting Hertha’s seven-match winning streak in competitive games.
- A poorly defended short corner produced the opener and a Michal Karbownik turnover led to the second goal, ending a clean-sheet run of over 550 minutes.
- Goalkeeper Tjark Ernst criticized the lapses, saying such mistakes should not happen to top teams.
- Coach Stefan Leitl lamented a lack of cleverness, stressing that an even match should not be lost.
- With only 17 goals so far and key attacker Fabian Reese struggling to score, the team points to Fürth as the immediate test of their response.
