Hertha BSC Berlin 2 - 1 SC Freiburg: Heartbreak for newly-promoted Freiburg as Hertha Berlin win Olympiastadion clash
Posted Monday, August 29, 2016 by PA
Hertha Berlin beat newly-promoted Freiburg 2-1 in a Bundesliga game which came to life in stoppage time after a rather pedestrian 90 minutes at the Olympiastadion.
Vladimir Darida gave the hosts the lead after an hour, celebrating with just one arm raised after scoring against his former club.
It looked like that sole strike was going to be enough to win it on a hot and sunny afternoon in the German capital, which saw breaks for water in both halves.
However, Freiburg - who regained their top flight status at the first time of asking - levelled in the third minute of stoppage time when Nicolas Hofler headed in Vincenzo Grifo's corner.
Their celebrations were short-lived, though, with Julian Schieber scrambling in a winner with the aid of a deflection in the fifth minute of added time.
