web.de (German)

Hertha BSC began the new 2. Bundesliga season with a 1-0 away victory over VfL Bochum, extending Bochum's long wait for an opening-day win. Sebastian Grönning scored the only goal in the 39th minute before 26,000 spectators in the sold-out Ruhrstadion. The match was briefly halted in the 21st minute when a fan banner in the Berlin away section covered an emergency exit. Bochum has now failed to win a season opener for ten years. Hertha coach Stefan Leitl handed young talent Sofuian Gouram a starting place, while new signing Oluwaseun Adewumi began on the bench.
