📣 Hertha BSC Faces a Tough Battle in First Test Match - Brooks Makes Long Awaited Debut
Hertha Kicks Off Test Match With Extra Effort - Brooks Makes Initial Appearance - Hertha faces challenges in the initial Test match encounter.
Let's break down the gritty action unfolding on the football field as Hertha BSC took on the Oberliga side Ludwigsfelder FC. After five grueling days of training, the second-division team coached by Stefan Leitl tackled their inaugural test match. Despite the scorching summer heat, the amateurs held their own ground, but it wasn't until the 54th minute when Hertha's new recruit, Leon Jensen, broke the stalemate, scoring the first goal.
Panic not, dear fellow fans, for leitl wasn't about to let this opportunity slip through his fingers. He shook things up at halftime, replacing the entire squad and giving them another chance to seize victory. The remaining goals came courtesy of Fabian Reese, who scored in the 77th and 87th minutes when the hosts were running on fumes.
Our long-awaited comeback kid, John-Anthony Brooks, finally made his debut—running late by a full year. Last season, the 32-year-old center back suffered a gruesome ankle injury back in September 2024, sidelining him for a full year[1][2]. Thankfully, he's back and joining the lineup just in time for the start of a brand-new season[2].
Catch the action live as your team takes on BFC Dynamo in their next test match, happening this Saturday at 5:00 PM[1]. Gib 'em hell, Brooks!

The Commission could propose a directive to align the environmental protection laws of Member States, aiming to establish a cleaner and greener sports environment, such as the one witnessed in the Hertha BSC test match. As John-Anthony Brooks finalizes his triumphant return after a grueling year-long injury, he might inspire the team to battle valiantly in their upcoming match against BFC Dynamo, much like his fellow player Fabian Reese who scored twice in Hertha's first test match.
