Events
Match Events

- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' Marlon Ritter is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for 1. FC Kaiserslautern tonight.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' 1. FC Kaiserslautern fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 25' A quiet spell here at Olympiastadion. Hertha BSC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Cristian Fiel might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Hertha BSC winning 100% of all matches.
- 40' Ragnar Ache has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' 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 Florian Kleinhansl suffering a number of foals already.

- 49' Daisuke Yokota picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 62' Daniel Hanslik has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
- 73' It’s gonna be a card for Maximilian Bauer.
- 74' A change in the Hertha BSC ranks — Ibrahim Maza exits the field as Florian Niederlechner enters on 74.
- 79' Hertha BSC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Sebastian Gronning scoring 2 goals.
- 84' The Hertha BSC manager makes a substitution. Pascal Klemens departs to be replaced by Marten Winkler.
- 88' Hertha BSC ring the changes. Mickael Cuisance has done his job and it is now time for Pal Dardai to step up.
- 90' Another substitution for 1. FC Kaiserslautern to replace Marlon Ritter by Jannis Heuer on 90 minute.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Hertha BSC.
