  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. 1. FC Kaiserslautern must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 32' GOAL! Philipp Klement fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 37' With 2 assists to his name this season, Marlon Ritter is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Hertha BSC.
  • 42' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jonjoe Kenny suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Aaron Opoku does the damage! The net is bulging and 1. FC Kaiserslautern surge ahead!
  • 50' Hertha BSC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 56' Hertha BSC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 64' Jan Luca Schuler with the second goal in the match!
  • 68' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Boris Tomiak makes it 3-3.
  • 72' 1. FC Kaiserslautern ring the changes. Jan Gyamerah has done his job and it is now time for Jan Elvedi to step up.
  • 75' Another change for Hertha BSC made on 75 minute. Diego Demme leaves to be changed by Pascal Klemens.
  • 79' What a strike from Mickael Cuisance! The score is 3-4.
  • 81' Controversy at the stadium! Jan Elvedi argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 83' The crowd applauds Derry Scherhant as he leaves the pitch. Florian Niederlechner steps in for Hertha BSC.
  • 87' Time for substitution for 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Daniel Hanslik is replaced by Tobias Raschl.
  • 88' Toni Leistner gets the nod from Hertha BSC. He replaces Ibrahim Maza and will look to change the dynamic.
