Hertha were away to Köln on match day 12 after a terrible run of form where they lost to Hannover '96 at home and away to SC Paderborn but also Armenia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal.
The game was shown over the Internet in the UK on BT Sport which meant UK based fans could at least see the match clearly.

The importance of bringing home points to Berlin could hardly be emphasised enough bearing in mind Hertha will be facing Bayern, M'Gladbach and a wounded Dortmund before the winter break. Although the Old Lady came home with all three points even a die-hard Hertha fan would struggle to say the match was pretty. Hertha did score twice but the shots picked up wicked deflections on the way in. Not pretty but did any Hertha fan care? I think not!
Five points from the bottom but t could be worse The win lifts Hertha just three points clear of the drop zone in the table. This is especially true as Hertha are hosting the giants of the Bundesliga Bayern München during match day 13.
I'm not sure I want to mention that it's match day 13 - "unlucky for some" but it's too late - I just have! Come what may, I'll be there and whatever the outcome I'll be there to cheer on the old lady against BVB as well.
