Bundesliga: Hertha Berlin 1 Stuttgart 0

A late header from Raffael helped Hertha Berlin secure their first Bundesliga win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Stuttgart on Friday.

The Brazilian scored the winner three minutes before the end when he capitalised on a rebounded strike from Adrian Ramos at the Olympiastadion Berlin.

In a very balanced first-half, the home side had the first opening 20 minutes in, but Raffael got his feet tangled when he had just the goalkeeper to beat.

Stuttgart went close 10 minutes later as Japan international Shinji Okazaki put his header onto the bar.

The winning goal came three minutes from time through Raffael, who headed home after Ramos’ shot had been saved by Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.

Hertha Berlin have moved up to 10th courtesy of the win, while Stuttgart sit one place below.
