SV Elversberg secured a notable 2-0 victory away to Hertha BSC on Friday evening in the fourth matchday of the 2. Bundesliga, while the encounter between 1. FC Nürnberg and SC Paderborn 07 finished in a scoreless draw.
At Berlin’s Olympiastadion, Younes Ebnoutalib put the visitors ahead early in the game (5th minute). Elversberg largely controlled the match and extended their lead after the break with another goal from Ebnoutalib (59th minute). Hertha BSC appeared to lack attacking inspiration throughout much of the contest and were further hampered by a red card shown to Linus Gechter in the 77th minute, leaving them without a win in their four league matches this season.
In Nuremberg, a fiercely contested match unfolded between the home side and Paderborn, with chances created by both teams. Paderborn briefly celebrated what appeared to be a leading goal from Steffen Tigges, however, the goal was disallowed after review by the video assistant referee for offside. Both sides generated opportunities to break the deadlock in the closing stages, but ultimately, the game ended 0-0.
These results see Hertha BSC remaining at the bottom of the table, while Elversberg celebrate their third win of the season. Nürnberg, still awaiting their first victory, managed to secure their first point of the campaign.
