The Super Eagles forward kept up his stellar performances for Hertha Berlin, but they were unable to win at Mewa Arena. Chidera Ejuke, a Super Eagles attacker, assisted Lucas Tousart on Hertha Berlin's goal, but Mainz salvaged a 1-1 draw at Mewa Arena thanks to Anthony Caci's late goal. Last week, Hertha Berlin defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the Olympiastadion to earn an important point, and they were determined to improve on that performance when they headed to Mainz, who had just suffered a 4-1 defeat at Hoffenheim.
Hertha Berlin was unable to maintain its one-goal advantage. To guarantee that the game ended 1-1 at the Mewa Arena, substitute Caci took advantage of a defensive blunder by Hertha Berlin and delivered an excellent attempt that defeated Oliver Christensen in the Alte Dam goal.
