Hertha BSC and Darmstadt 98 Battle to a Goalless Draw in Exciting 2. Bundesliga Encounter
In a thrilling game marked by numerous scoring chances, Hertha BSC and Darmstadt 98 played out a goalless draw at the sold-out Stadion am Böllenfalltor on Saturday. The clash, which attracted 17,810 spectators, was a testament to both teams' attacking prowess, with multiple shots hitting the post, crossbar, and even an offside goal being disallowed on two separate occasions.
The first offside goal was scored by Isac Lidberg for Darmstadt in the 26th minute, while Krattenmacher's effort in the second half met the same fate. Hertha goalkeeper Tjark Ernst saved the team from defeat in the 84th minute, denying Darmstadt a potential winner.
Berlin had slight advantages in the first half, despite Darmstadt's aggressive play and quick ball recovery. Stefan Leitl, coach of Hertha BSC, saw a positive trend, as his team had four real chances in the game. However, he believes that luck has eluded them so far, with their current 17th place in the league and only one goal and two points to show for their efforts.
Maurice Krattenmacher had a big chance for Berlin but narrowly missed the ball in a central position. Fabian Reese, another key player for Hertha, also missed a shot in the 8th minute of stoppage time. Reese expressed his disappointment about the missed chance and the overall missed opportunities in the game.
A potential handball by Dawid Kownacki went unnoticed in the game. Aleksandar Vukotic made an acrobatic save for Darmstadt to prevent Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson's header from crossing the line in the 40th minute.
Looking ahead, Hertha BSC aims to get their first win of the season this Friday against SV Elversberg at the Olympic Stadium. The team will be represented by players including Fabian Reese, M. Krattenmacher, Linus Gechter, and young talent Kennet Eichhorn. Coach Leitl remains optimistic, believing that the game against Darmstadt was not a 0:0 game and that they are showing signs of improvement.
