In a friendly match played after the international break, Hertha BSC secured a convincing 6:2 victory over Regionalliga side Hertha 03 Zehlendorf.

The match started promisingly for Hertha, with Sebastian Groening scoring just three minutes into the game. An own goal by Hertha 03 Zehlendorf in the 7th minute extended the lead. However, Niklas Doll equalized for Hertha 03 Zehlendorf in the 12th minute, momentarily bringing the score level.

Despite the friendly nature of the match, several key players were rested by head coach Stefan Leitl, including Fabian Reese, Toni Leistner, and Deyovaisio Zeefuik. Jeremy Dudziak, who has been sidelined since suffering a hip injury, made a comeback in the match, and Luca Schuler returned from injury to play as well.

Hertha BSC's next league game is away against Hannover 96 on September 13. Hannover 96 is currently unbeaten in the league, posing a significant challenge for Hertha. Jeremy Dudziak hopes to secure a new deal with Hertha BSC, aiming to continue his journey with the club.

The victory against Hertha 03 Zehlendorf will undoubtedly boost the team's morale as they prepare for the upcoming league game against Hannover 96. The team will need to maintain their focus and determination to secure a much-needed win in the 2. Bundesliga.
