BERLIN (AP) — Marco Richter has scored his first goal since recovering from treatment for a testicular tumor to seal Hertha Berlin’s first win of the season as it beat Augsburg 2-0 in the Bundesliga. Richter had made his first appearance since undergoing treatment in last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund. Borussia Mönchengladbach fell to its first defeat of the season. It lost 1-0 at home to Mainz after playing most of the second half with 10 men. The match turned nine minutes after the interval when Gladbach midfielder Ko Itakura was sent off for bringing down Karim Onisiwo as the last man. Aaron Caricol curled the resulting free kick into the top left corner.
