That is the main aim for SC on Thursday evening under the lights with their home fans behind them. “The atmosphere at the ground will be electric and we will give everything to take that final step,” said captain Christian Günter, sharing the same sense of anticipation as his goalkeeper.

Despite no direct goal involvements in his second game, the Hertha number 14 can be pleased with his first international break of the season.

Just a few days after the Bundesliga season came to its conclusion, FSV Mainz are pleased to announce the signing of Maxim Leitsch from VfL Bochum. The 24-year-old central defender worked his way through the ranks at VfL and is now an established Bundesliga player. He made a total of 93 appearances for Bochum in all competitions, including 19 in the top flight (2 goals, 1 assist) and he became a rock at the back for the club. Leitsch also has experience on the international stage and was selected for Germany at the U18, U19 and U21 levels. The 24-year-old has signed for Mainz until 2026 for an undisclosed fee.

“Leaving Union is very difficult for me. I found my footballing home here at the age of eleven and was part of this club for seven years. I am grateful to those responsible for the trust they have placed in me and wish 1. FC Union Berlin all the best for the coming season. At KAS Eupen, I now have the opportunity to further show myself with regular playing time,” added Moser.

What a game! SV Werder Bremen beat Hertha BSC 4-2 (2-0). In the first half, the hosts were barely in the game. A brace from Marvin Ducksch (6’, 27’) put Werder firmly ahead, before Hertha stepped up a gear in the second half. Although Marvin Ducksch (51’) scored again and Mitchell Weiser (63’) increased the lead to 4-0, Hertha came back. Jessic Ngankam scored the first goal for the “Old Lady”, before Dodi Lukebakio converted from the penalty spot to make it 4-2 (79’). In the end, however, SVW were too solid in defence and Ole Werner’s side deserved to take three important points back home.
