Hertha BSC is reeling in crisis: 0-2 defeat against Paderborn!
Hertha BSC suffered a bitter 2-0 defeat against SC Paderborn in their Olympic Stadium on September 20, 2025. This defeat is in stark contrast to the previous success against Hannover 96, where the Berliners triumphed 3-0. With just five points from six games, Hertha is falling short of its own expectations and is facing serious difficulties in achieving its goals for the season. Coach Stefan Leitl is under increasing pressure as the team continues to put in a weak and error-prone performance that is reminiscent of the disastrous start to the season.
The game took place in front of 44,718 spectators, where Filip Bilbija scored the goals for Paderborn in the 38th and 58th minutes, the latter with a hand penalty. Dawid Kownacki had the best chance to score for Hertha in the 26th minute, but the shot didn't find its way into the net. It was difficult for the capital city team to get going in the first half and their first significant chance only came after 22 minutes. This reserved performance coupled with a lack of team spirit led to individual players playing in isolation.
Lack of identity in the game
Hertha's offensive game shows clear deficits. The team obviously lacks clear tactical approaches, especially against balanced teams like Paderborn. A lack of movement and insufficient effort on defense and offense were significant weaknesses that were criticized by Leitl. There are also concerns about questionable personnel decisions, such as the positioning of Linus Gechter as right-back.
The entire team was also weakened by various coronavirus infections, which may have further impaired the team's performance. In the current situation, coach Leitl seems at a loss, and it remains to be seen how quickly he can find solutions to turn things around. A rethink is urgently needed to stop the downward trend.
