BERLIN (AP) — Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has scored 87 seconds into his Hertha Berlin debut in a 2-1 win over promoted Greuther Fürth in the Bundesliga. The 21-year-old Dutch midfielder joined Hertha from Ajax in the offseason. He scored with a header from a corner in the 61st minute. Ekkelenkamp was involved again as an own-goal from Fürth’s Maximilian Bauer in the 79th proved to be the winner for Hertha. It was Hertha’s second straight win after starting the league with three defeats.
