Hertha BSC edges past SC Freiburg 1-0, Jovetić's winning goal eases relegation concerns.

Hertha BSC edged past SC Freiburg 1-0 on Saturday, securing their position in the Bundesliga despite being just one point above the relegation zone.

The result was crucial for Hertha BSC, who were struggling to avoid relegation last season and had been placed in the relegation play-off spots. The victory over Freiburg lifts them back into the top flight and puts pressure on their rivals.

The game was played at the Stadion des Olympischen Arenen in Berlin and saw Hertha BSC dominate from the start. They dominated possession and created several chances, but it wasn't until the final minutes that they finally broke through.

In the 86th minute, Hertha BSC goalkeeper Thomas Müller made a crucial save to deny Freiburg a late equalizer. But moments later, Hertha BSC's Serbian striker Dejan Jovetić stepped up and scored the winning goal with a header from a corner kick.

Jovetić's goal was crucial for Hertha BSC as it eased their relegation worries. With the win, they moved up to ninth place in the table and reduced the gap between themselves and the bottom three teams to just two points.

Despite the win, Hertha BSC still face tough competition in the remaining games of the season. They will have to maintain their momentum if they want to stay in the top flight next season.

Freiburg, meanwhile, fell to a disappointing loss and remain in the relegation zone. They will need to work hard to improve their performance if they hope to avoid relegation again next season.

Overall, the result was a positive one for Hertha BSC and gave them some much-needed breathing space. However, they still have a long way to go before they can secure a spot in the Champions League.
