Could Rune Jarstein sleep well after the game against Leipzig? The Hertha goalkeeper does a rough job. At 1-1, he wants to parry a harmless long-range shot, but scoops the ball into his own goal (video above). Neither his men in front nor the keeper himself can believe what has just happened.

Even after the game, the scene still haunts the mind of the Norwegian without finding a plausible explanation for his misfire. “I do not know what happened. It was a disgusting patch, I wanted to put it in my hand quickly and then I punched it in myself, »Jarstein told Amazon Prime.

Winning streak ended
Particularly bitter: Jarstein’s flop ends Bruno Labbadia’s successful start as a Hertha coach. Under the new coach, the Berliners have won twice since the restart and with a goal difference of 7: 0! The two goals against Leipzig seem like a blemish. Although Labbadia’s dream start is gone because of Jarstein, he strengthens his protege’s back. «Jarstein doesn’t have to grieve. I raised that in front of the team. He has held extremely well in the last two games, »said Labbadia.

Fortunately for Jarstein, team-mate Piatek equalized with a penalty eight minutes before the end and thus secured the guests at least one point. A more or less satisfactory result for the Norwegian keeper. Jarstein: “A 2-2 in Leipzig is good for us. We want to get out below – every point is important. »

And: Officially it is not an own goal. The DFL attributes the hit to Leipzig’s Patrick Schick. But for Jarstein this is only a slight consolation. (jk)
