The Friday Bundesliga game this week is Hertha v. MSV Duisburg. Normally, when a Bundesliga game is played on Friday, that means that GolTV shows it.

Unfortunately, it was Martin Fenin of Eintract Frankfurt. The 20-year-old Czech got a hat-trick at the Olympiastadion in a 3-0 victory over the capitol city side, wowing onlookers and winning new fans.
