Hertha BSC extended their winning streak to six consecutive victories by defeating Dynamo Dresden 2:1 in a tightly contested match. The win was fueled by a double goal from Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson, who scored both goals for Hertha. Earlier in the game, Patrice Covic, a former Hertha player and son of current U19 coach Ante Covic, gave Dresden an early lead. However, Hertha's attacking duo of Thorsteinsson and Brekalo turned the tide. Security measures were heightened due to past incidents involving fan violence during the previous season, including pyrotechnic-related clashes and a banner theft. This time, Hertha fans boycotted the trip to Dresden as a protest against the DFB's decision to reduce their away contingent. Gustav Nilsson had a notable moment in the second half, scoring what initially appeared to be a goal but was later disallowed due to potential handball. Thorsteinsson's late goal sealed the victory, keeping Hertha on track to potentially surpass the record set by Hannover 96 in 1986/87.
Hertha BSC extended its perfect run with a 2-1 victory over Dynamo Dresden in their sixth consecutive match, maintaining their unbeaten start to the season. The win came despite heightened security measures following incidents from the previous year, which saw clashes and injuries during a match in April 2026. The game took place at Dresden’s Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion on September 19, 2026, with both teams under strict safety protocols. The match began with Dynamo taking an early lead through a goal by Patrice Covic in the 10th minute. Covic, a native of Berlin, scored against his former club, adding a personal touch to the contest. However, Hertha quickly responded, with Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson scoring twice, first in the 30th minute from 20 meters, then in the 80th minute after being given space just outside the box. His second goal sealed the win for the hosts. Security around the venue had been significantly increased due to past tensions. During the April incident, fans clashed, leading to 17 injured individuals. This time, Hertha’s fan group chose not to travel to Dresden as part of a protest against stricter fan regulations imposed by the German Football Association, which limited guest capacity for the match. Despite these challenges, Hertha maintained control of the game. Midway through the second half, new signing Gustav Nilsson missed a clear opportunity, shooting over the empty net from three meters. Four minutes later, Oluwaseun Adewumi headed a chance, though it was disallowed due to a self-inflicted hand injury, which remained unclear on television. Hertha’s victory means they remain undefeated in their six matches this season, building on a historic record. In the 1986–87 season, Hannover 96 achieved eight wins in their opening games. Hertha now needs just two more victories to match that feat. Their next fixtures will include home games against Eintracht Frankfurt and an away match against Schalke 04. Dresden, meanwhile, remains at the bottom of the table after four consecutive draws, struggling to find form. Hertha’s success continues to highlight their strength and resilience, even amid unusual circumstances.

Dynamo Dresden remained at the bottom of the table with four points.
