The first lead came from 1. FC Union, but the victory went to Hertha BSC: coach Bruno Labbadia’s team won the Berlin Bundesliga derby 3-1 (0-1). The Blue and Whites also benefited from a majority of over an hour.
The winner of the Berlin Bundesliga derby is Hertha BSC: coach Bruno Labbadia’s team defeated 1. FC Union 3-1 (0-1) on Friday night. The Köpenicker had even taken the lead initially. But after Robert Andrich had already seen red after a good twenty minutes, the locals ended up outnumbered in the second half.
For twenty minutes, not much happened in the Olympic Stadium. But then the game suddenly picked up speed and immediately turned turbulent: first, Taiwo Awoniyi gave 1. FC Union a 1-0 lead after a dream pass from Marcus Ingvartsen (20th). However, just three minutes later, the Köpenicker’s cheers were clouded. After a foul against Lucas Tousart, Robert Andrich flew off the field with a direct red: his leg, which was too high, hit the Frenchman in the neck. Union was now over an hour to ten.
Hertha pushed for balance excessively, but Bruno Labbadia’s team still lacked playful ideas against compact Unioners. Lack of offensive creativity in blue and white was met with Köpenick’s defensive concrete. The hosts had the best and, apart from the approaches, the only chance after a standard situation: 40 minutes had been played when Dodi Lukebakio managed to head without being pushed from a corner by Matheus Cunha, but missed Andreas Luthe in the penalty area. Union.
But he made a crucial mistake after the break. The 33-year-old could only bounce off a long-range shot from Cunha and Peter Pekarik stayed there: the Slovak had no trouble drawing (51st). An annoying mistake from the Unioner’s point of view, because they otherwise didn’t allow much at first, despite the fact that Labbadia had already brought in additional offensive power with Javairo Dilrosun and Krzysztof Piatek at halftime.
But then it should be discarded. He became, among all things, the man who became a derby hero who was not at all happy at Hertha until now. Piatek first achieved the advantage for the hosts (74th) and only three minutes later (pre) he extended it decisively. And as if that wasn’t bitter enough for Union, the Köpenickers also have to worry about their biggest offensive power of recent weeks: Max Kruse was injured in injury time and limped off the field. The diagnosis? Stay open.
