Hertha BSC drew 1-1 with Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon, despite having a late equalizer from Jovetic. The match was tight throughout, but it was Hertha who were the more dominant side going into halftime. Mainz took the lead through a penalty kick awarded for a handball by Hertha's defender, which gave them a one-goal advantage at the break. However, Hertha responded well to their setback, and were able to create chances that they couldn't take advantage of. Jovetic, who had come on as a substitute, scored his first goal for Hertha in the 86th minute, leveling the scoreline and giving his team hope. It was a well-deserved moment for the Serbian striker, who has been in good form this season. Despite the draw, Hertha can still be content with the result. They have now won just two of their last eight league games, and will need to improve if they want to stay in the hunt for European football next season. In other news, Mainz manager Frank Schaefer has spoken out about his team's performance against Hertha, saying that he is "very disappointed" with how they played. He also praised Hertha's attacking play, stating that they created many chances and were unlucky not to win the game. Overall, it was another entertaining match between two strong sides in Germany's top flight, and one that could have gone either way depending on the outcome of the final whistle. |
