Test game - Defeat for Hertha in test matches
Hertha BSC recovered from their first loss in the 2. Bundesliga preparation with a draw against Huddersfield Town in Austria. The Berliners lost 1:2 (1:1) to Huddersfield initially, but drew 1:1 (1:0) against the Welsh team from Cardiff City.
Linus Gechter put Hertha in the lead in St. Johann in Tyrol after just eight minutes with a header from Marc Oliver Kempf's cross. Callum Robinson scored the flattering equalizer for the Welsh team in the 89th minute from the chaos. Hertha, with many potential starting players for the league opener, dominated the game and hardly let anything through in defense. The equalizer came as a complete surprise.
Potential substitutes for Huddersfield
Hertha scored the goal in the Kaiserwinkl Arena in Kössen in the 25th minute with a shot from Luca Schuler from around 15 meters. Huddersfield took the lead early with a header from Michal Helik (5th minute) and won with a goal from Ben Wiles (71st minute). Hertha-coach Cristian Fiel put out a team with mainly potential substitute players against the English third-tier team.
Last test matches before Paderborn

In the test matches before the double header in Tirol, Fiel and his new team won five games, only against Energie Cottbus was it a 2:2. During this period, Fabian Reese injured his ankle and Kevin Sessa injured his knee, resulting in multi-week absences.
