VfL Osnabrück – Hertha BSC

Hertha BSC continued their flawless start to the campaign with a convincing 3‑1 away win over VfL Osnabrück, extending their lead at the top of the table to 18 points from six victories. The hosts, sitting 11th with just seven points after two wins, a draw and three defeats, were unable to stem the pressure, conceding three goals while managing only a single reply. The result widens the gap between the two sides, as Hertha now boast a superior goal difference of +10 compared with Osnabrück’s –3. This meeting also marked the first head‑to‑head victory for Hertha this season, reversing the earlier draw‑free record. Osnabrück’s hopes of climbing out of the lower half remain slim after the defeat.
