Taiwo Awoniyi’s 11th goal of the season from the penalty spot put Urs Fischer’s side ahead four minutes before half-time.

Nils Schmadtke has left VfL Wolfsburg to return to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 34-year-old, who had been head of scouting at the Wolves since autumn 2020, has accepted the role as sporting director of the professional squad at Gladbach.

Liverpool have called on UEFA, who the report said bore primary responsibility for the organisational failures, to implement all the 21 recommendations made to try to ensure such a situation never happens again.

On the overall balance, the encounter didn’t quite fit its billing of 2nd versus 3rd in the Bundesliga, as Bayern was clearly the dominant side.

Additionally, Bayern had the lion‘s share of possession, 71% to Union’s 29%, as Urs Fischer’s side truly struggled to gain any sort of foothold in the match at any given point.

Hertha BSC submitted all documents required for the acquisition of their Bundesliga 2 licence for the 2023/24 season to the DFL on Wednesday. “We’ve done all we can in the last few weeks and months to fulfil the demands of the DFL.

Herrich. We now await the decision of the DFL.

Pál Dárdai is staying at the Old Lady as head coach. “We are delighted that Pál will be helping to shape a fresh start at Hertha as head coach.

The head coach is also looking forward with anticipation to continuing his journey. “I am very satisfied and happy. Thomas Herrich, Benjamin Weber and I have had good and honest talks. I feel that we all work, want to work and will work together for the good of Hertha BSC,” said Dárdai.
