PivotalOutstanding performance

Dynamo Dresden struck first through Patrice Covic after a sustained spell of corners, but that early lead masked a growing gulf in quality as Hertha BSC dominated the underlying numbers, out-shooting the hosts 26 to 7 and creating three big chances to Dresden's one. Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson was the standout performer, equalising just before the half-hour mark and then netting the winner in the 79th minute after a flurry of late substitutions changed the shape of the game. Oluwaseun Adewumi's goal shortly after coming on for the second half gave Hertha a lead they would relinquish before Thorsteinsson's late intervention sealed it, capping a tense finish that saw both sides make wholesale changes in the final 25 minutes. For Dresden, the result continues a difficult period in mid-table, while Hertha's comeback win, built on clinical finishing from limited high-quality chances relative to their overall shot count, offers real momentum heading into their title-race ambitions.
