Hertha Berlin 2–1 Borussia Dortmund
(Kalou 11’, Plattenhardt 71’ – Aubameyang 55’)
A thunderbolt from Marvin Plattenhardt gave Hertha Berlin a big victory over Borussia Dortmund in a bad-tempered game at the Olympiastadion.
Thomas Tuchel made four changes from the side that beat Benfica 4-0 in the Champions League, leaving out the impressive pair of Ousmane Dembele and Christian Pulisic from the start.
One of the players to come in, Matthias Ginter, was punished for the opener by Vedad Ibisevic, who did well to pick out Salomon Kalou at the far post, and the striker simply stroked the ball into the empty net.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leveled for Dortmund early in the second half, lashing in after Shinji Kagawa danced through the Hertha defense, setting the Gabonese striker up for his eighth goal in four games – and his 22nd in all competitions this season.
But Hertha re-established their lead midway through the second half through Plattenhardt, whose bullet free-kick from the edge of the box rifled into the top corner to give the home side the win.
