The warm weather helped bring just over 56,000 out to the stadium to shout, clap and whistle for ninety minutes in support of their team Fans enjoyed the sunshine outside the ground as the piled off the trains to have a beer or two before going through the turnstiles and, once inside the Ostkurve were in fine voice as usual . . . | |
My initial thoughts were correct, it couldn't happen again. A crazy scrappy equaliser came out of nowhere and for a while it was the men in green who had their tails up and looked like they may score again. Luckily they didn't but not without the woodwork coming to our rescue on a number of occasions. Hertha could have won this match but they could easily have lost it as well so perhaps a draw was a fair result in the end.
I was hoping, just a week ago that Salomon had turned the corner but perhaps I was being overly optimistic. In the last few minutes Jay Brooks, after he was brought on off the bench appeared to be acting as a front man in the opposition box. Well if he can score for the USMNT then perhaps he can do a turn for Hertha as well! Time will tell.
