Former Croatian international Josip Brekalo delivered a standout performance for Hertha Berlin, playing a pivotal role in their dramatic 5-3 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig in the German Second Bundesliga.

Brekalo was instrumental in Hertha's comeback after they found themselves trailing 0-2 early in the match. He first assisted Thorsteinsson in the 43rd minute to bring Hertha within one goal, and then scored in first-half stoppage time to equalize the score at 2-2.

The momentum shifted decisively in the second half. An own goal by Braunschweig's Ehlers in the 53rd minute gave Hertha the lead, which Brekalo extended in the 69th minute by converting a penalty. Adewumi added a fifth goal for Hertha in the 87th minute, before Braunschweig scored a late consolation goal in the 88th minute.

This victory marks Hertha Berlin's third consecutive win in the league, solidifying their position with Brekalo's impactful contributions.
