Who’s the guy in the Turban? It’s our turbaned hero Salomon Kalou! In this game he finally came good in abundance with his first hat-trick for Hertha and in the Bundesliga. In fact, I believe I am correct it was the first Hertha hat-trick since 2010.
Ten minutes later Marvin Plattenhardt gave away a penalty that Kiyotake slotted to give Hannover a chance albeit a small one. The death nail for H96 came in the 87th minute when Wieser was brought down in the Hannover box giving Kalou his chance for win his match ball. The penalty wasn’t great and the keeper got a hand to it but hey, it was good enough and the game ended 1:3 and all three points were on the way home to Berlin!
