The penalty was conceded by Sebastian Rode for a foul on Ibrahim Traore in the fourth minute of injury time. "You cant blame Vedo," Schneider said.

But the visitors regrouped and Per Ciljan Skjelbred deservedly equalized in the 38th when he slid in ahead of his marker to deflect Ronnys throw-in inside the far post. Both sides cancelled each other out in a scrappy second half before Gelson Fernandes struck the post for Freiburg in the final minute, when he only had the goalkeeper to beat. "Were lucky to get away with the point," Hertha coach Jos Luhukay said. Freiburg goalkeeper Oliver Baumann was left to rue the missed chances. "We really deserved the win here today.
