After four winless matches at the start of the season, Hertha BSC has scored the second success in a row. At 1. FC Köln scored Berlin's Vedad Ibisevic within six minutes after his substitution two goals (58th minute, 63.). In the 4: 0 (1: 0) victory of Hertha had previously Javairo Dilrosun the lead (23). Dedryck Boyata scored the final score (83 '). Cologne's central defender Jorge Meré was sent off red after a rough foul (41 ').
At the beginning of the game, however, Cologne was the game-determining team. Florian Kainz failed with a direct free-kick to goalkeeper Rune Jarstein (8). Just like Jhon Córdoba, who could not place a free header from a few meters (14.).
Hertha was only through the goal of Dilrosun in the game, who settled the ball about 20 meters in front of the goal by Timo Horn and shot into the left corner (23.). It was the Dutchman's fourth goal for Hertha, scoring all in September. Half of last season he had failed with a thigh injury. Dilrosun missed another goal when he hit the crossbar after a strong save from Jarstein.
Before the break, it was even worse for Cologne: Meré kicked Vladimir Darida on the shin with his leg outstretched, the Hertha player flew through the air, turned around his own axis and hit his back on the ground. However, referee Sören Storks was yellow at first, but corrected his decision after the intervention of the video assistant and showed Meré the red card (41).
In the second half, the 57th minute of the game was the final decision, as Hertha coach Ante Covic joined Ibisevic (58 '). A few seconds later, he met Lukas Klünter's preliminary work, followed by Darida's lead of five minutes later (63). It was the first two goals of the 35-year-old this season.
After Cologne's Simon Terodde scored with a worthwhile long-range shot only the lower edge of the bar (78th), Dedryck Boyata scored with his first Bundesliga goal the final score (83rd).
