In a match marred by fans throwing flares, Leckie played the full 90 minutes for his new club following his off-season move from relegated Ingolstadt.

The match was deadlocked until the final five minutes, when Hertha scored from a Marvin Plattenhardt corner, with Mitchell Weiser firing home from the edge of the box after Leckie's glancing and inadvertent header.

Leckie's second assist was far more convincing with the Australian beating the offside trap and bursting into space.

The Socceroo was in one-on-one with Hansa keeper Janis Blaswich, but opted to square the ball to Vedad Ibisevic to score in stoppage time.

Leckie's Hertha open their Bundesliga campaign on Saturday against Mitchell Langerak's newly promoted VfB Stuttgart.

The Australian's position as Stuttgart number one is in jeopardy, following the acquisition of Germany international goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler, who played in their DFB Pokal win over Energie Cottbus on Saturday.

Langerak played every minute of Stuttgart's successful 2.Bundesliga campaign in 2016-17.
