In an entertaining match withSheffield United, Chuba Akpom's double saw Middlesbrough twice fight back to take a point.
The away side took the lead when Berge scored from 18 yards.
Akpom's goal was his first for the club in over a year.
Iliman Ndiaye's drilled centre was slashed into his own net by Ryan Giles, but Akpom headed home to save a point.
As they looked for a winner, Duncan Watmore hit a post as he tried to get the win.
It was a credit to both sets of players that the pace of this early season encounter hardly dropped, with both teams looking for a third goal right up until the end.
Berge's opening goal seemed to go through the USA international as his low shot seemed to go through the home goalkeeper's legs.
It was the home side who had the better of things for the rest of the half after Akpom's goal.
The sub had a great chance to put the Blades back in front after his introduction at the break, but could not find the net.
Giles clattered the ball into his own goal when he could have allowed Ndiaye's cross to go by him as the away side regained the lead.
Akpom, who spent last season on loan in Greece with PAOK Salonika, popped up to head home the winner after a corner was headed back across goal.
The first three points of the season will be up for grabs on Wednesday, with Paul Heckingbottom's men also playing at home.
