HOFFENHEIM, Germany (Reuters) - Hertha Berlin's Bosnia forward Vedad Ibisevic scored against his former side Hoffenheim as they claimed a 3-0 win with second-half goals at an empty Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Saturday, moving them further away from the Bundesliga relegation places.

Brazilian Matheus Cunha also netted a late goal after Hoffenheim’s Kevin Akpoguma opened the scoring with a calamitous own goal, a sign of rustiness from the hosts as league action resumed after a two-month pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
