The home team offered their fans only a few moments of dangerous attacks. Hertha, on the other hand, was efficient – and now has three points more.
Hertha BSC is moving up in the 2nd Bundesliga table. At 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Stefan Leitl’s team won 1-0 (1-0) in the evening game. The man of the evening was Luca Schuler, who gave Hertha the lead in the first half (20th minute).
This puts the capital city team closer to Kaiserslautern, both teams have 20 points, the “Red Devils” benefit from the better goal difference and are in seventh place. FCK suffered only its second defeat in the last ten competitive games and its first home defeat of the season.
Ex-Lauterer Schuler, of all people, gave the guests the lead after a cross from Marten Winkler. After that, the Berliners largely left the initiative to the hosts, but their disciplined defense hardly allowed any chances.
After the break, Fabian Reese could have made the decision early, but he failed after Winkler’s pass to FCK goalkeeper Julian Krahl (55th). Kaiserslautern stepped up a gear, but it was rarely really dangerous for keeper Tjark Ernst. But he was lucky when Toni Leistner saved for him against Naatan Skyttä just in front of the line (70th). In the final phase, Ernst had to grab a few more times.
