Hertha made a winning start on Saturday afternoon as the Bundesliga finally got underway again, beating local rivals VfL Wolfsburg 2-1 in round 18, in front of 40,272 in the Olympic stadium. A Marko Pantelic penalty in the 88th minute, secured victory for the capital city side,after their former defender Alex Madlung had put the visitors ahead, before Gimenez equalised. Home coach Falko Götz sprang no surprises with his line-up ahead of the visit of the Wolves' to Germany's capital city. Danish goalkeeper Kevin Stuhr Ellegaard made his Bundesliga debut for Hertha in place of the injured Fiedler, while Yildiray Bastürk returned from injury in the playmaker role.The main talking point though, was how the former Hertha playmaker Marcelinho would play on his first visit to Berlin, after he was sold to Trabsonspor in Turkey last summer, after spending five years at Hertha. As expected, the Brazilian was whistled and booed by Hertha fans every time he touched the ball. The irony of football...It was slightly ironic,as the visitors took to the field of play in a blue strip (Hertha's usual colour before the season started) instead of their usual green and white kit. Hertha made the better start and the Wolves skipper Kevin Hofland was forced to clear his lines after only 3 minutes, as the Bundesliga joint top scorer (before kick off) Marko Pantelic threatened. After that opening encounter, the home side had more of the possession, without being able to capitalise on it. Striker Christian Gimenez, was thwarted by a saving Wolfsburg leg on 14 minutes. Madlung opens the scoring On 17 minutes, the Wolfsburg skipper Hofland had a gilt edged chance to fire his side ahead, but missed the target from some 11 metres out. Moments later though, the visitors took the lead as a low free kick by Marcelinho was fluffed by the debutant Hertha keeper Ellegaard, who looked on in horror as the ball fell to the feet of the former Hertha central defender Alex Madlung, mopping up from a couple of metres out to give Wolfsburg the lead. The man-mountain defender celebrated his goal with the travelling Wolves fans situated to the left of the goal where he scored. Gimenez- goal number 6! Hertha needed some time to recover from that setback, but not too long! On 27 minutes, Bastürk combined with Fathi at a short corner.The newly-capped German international croosed into the Wolfsburg box to the Brazilian Gilberto, who sold the visiting defence a dummy by allowing the ball to pass through to the better-positioned Gimenez, who equalised for the home side from 11 metres out. The tempo diminished somewhat and it took until shortly before the break for the game to come to life again, as Pantelic tested the Wolves keeper Jentzsch with a header, which the visiting keeper dealt with with a really world class save, tipping the ball over the bar. Moments later, the Wolves striker Diego Klimowicz held his head in his hands, as his shot flew narrowly wide. tipping the ball over the bar. The teams went into the half time break on an even keel at 1-1. Tough second half The Wolves coach Klaus Augenthaler must have found the right words for his troops during the break, because the his side made the better start as play resumed. Five minutes after the re-start, Stuhr Ellegaard reacted well to a shot by Karhan from just inside the box. Hertha created their first chance of the second half on 71 minutes, as Pantelic fed Gimenez, whose low shot was well saves by Jentzsch. The visiting side continued to press but failed to breach the well-organised home defense. As Pantelic fed his strike partner Gimenez in the Hertha area, the Argentinean took advantage of an outstrethcd leg provided by Hofland.The referee pointed to the spot, and Pantelic sent Jentzsch the wrong way to give Hertha a somewhat fortunate victory on 86 minutes.That goal leaves Pantelic sitting pretty at the top of the Bundesliga top-scorer tree with 11 strikes.
