Hertha BSC secured their place in the Bundesliga for another season after beating SC Freiburg 1-0 at the Veltins-Arena on Saturday. The result was all the more significant as it came just two days before the team's final match of the season against Union Berlin.
The game started brightly for Hertha, but it wasn't until the 28th minute that they were rewarded for their efforts when Jovetic scored his first goal of the season from close range. The goal put Hertha back into the top flight and ensured that they would avoid the drop next season.
Despite conceding early, SC Freiburg had chances to equalize but could not find the back of the net. Hertha continued to dominate the second half and eventually sealed the win through Jovetic's header in the 76th minute.
It was a much-needed victory for Hertha, who have struggled this season. The win will give them some much-needed confidence ahead of their final match of the season against Union Berlin. The club is currently sitting in eighth place in the table, which means they need to finish higher than 14th if they want to stay in the Bundesliga.
Overall, it was a crucial victory for Hertha, who will be hoping to build on this success in the remaining matches of the season. They now face a tough task to secure a top-six finish, but a win against Union Berlin would certainly help them towards achieving their target.
