Hertha Berlin beat Bochum 1-0 on the season's opening day, securing their first opening-round victory since 2020 despite fielding no new signings. Soufian Gouram set up Palko Grönning, who chipped the keeper in the 39th minute. Bochum pressed harder in the second half, but Hertha's defense and goalkeeper Tjark Gersbeck held firm.

Last season's relegation battle influenced their cautious preseason expectations.
