Summary: The fans had to wait around 30 minutes until the game got into full swing. After concentrating on defending solidly, SVW grew into the game and started to create chances, while Hertha were finding it tough to break down the Green-White defence. SVW made the breakthrough as Werder’s pressing caused a mistake at the back, which Kruse profited from. He intercepted a pass on the edge of the BSC area and was immediately in on goal, finishing coolly. In the second half, the visitors created numerous good chances on the break but couldn’t make the most of any. However, Nouri’s men can definitely look back on a great, disciplined performance and travel back to Bremen with three well-deserved points in the bag.
