  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' Hertha BSC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 15' 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 Jan Luca Schuler suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 25' Herbert Bockhorn, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 30' The 24-year-old Mateusz Zukowski has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 35' Hertha BSC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 37' Herbert Bockhorn picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 61' Magnificent from Laurin Ulrich! That is 3 goals in 438 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

  • 68' That looks like a foul for a card for Kevin Sessa.
  • 72' Controversy at the stadium! Diego Demme argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 77' Silas Gnaka has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 199 appearances.
  • 78' A meaty challenge results in booking for Josip Brekalo on 78.
