Hertha BSC triumphs in Vienna: 2-1 victory in the test game!

In the Generali-Arena in Vienna, Hertha BSC players completed their training camp season on July 18, 2025 with an exciting friendly against Austria Vienna. After an intensive preparation week, which was characterized by inconsistent weather conditions with hail and thunderstorm, the Berliners won the game 2-1. This represents a successful conclusion of their one -week training camp in Kitzbühel, which was accompanied by some challenges, such as a long list of injuries.

The first goal for Hertha was already in the 38th minute when Julian Eitschberger scored the lead goal with a deflected shot from about 20 meters. However, Austria Vienna could not be discouraged and was able to react with Manprit Sarkaria, who transformed a free kick into a short corner, only a few minutes after the restart. The goalkeeper of Hertha, Tjark Ernst, then showed his class and not only parried several shots, but also a penalty in the 83rd minute.

team structure and challenges

The Berliners have worked on their fitness in Kitzbühel and in the friendly against Bröndby IF (0: 1) in the past few days. Coach Stefan Leitl admitted that the team was not yet able to play a high pressing, which is an indication of the challenges that the team had to deal with during the training camp.

Nonetheless, the team looks optimistically into the future. Athletic coach Henrik Kuchno focused on speed and fitness last week, supported by the latest technology such as a drone for analyzing the training. Injured players gradually return to team training and the anticipation for the start of the season on August 1st against Schalke is noticeable.
