  • 10' Hertha BSC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined 1. FSV Mainz 05 backline.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Hertha BSC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Hertha BSC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' It’s high time Bruno Labbadia made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 28' That is a Yellow card for 1. FSV Mainz 05. Kevin Stoger will be fuming at that decision.
  • 33' Krzysztof Piatek catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 33.
  • 38' Robin Quaison has been relatively quiet despite scoring 31 goals in his last 108 appearances.
  • 43' 1. FSV Mainz 05 are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 48' 1. FSV Mainz 05 is showing some good football. However, 1. FSV Mainz 05 are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 66' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jordan Torunarigha on 66 minutes.
  • 71' 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 Alexander Hack suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' A change in the Hertha BSC ranks — Deyovaisio Zeefuik exits the field as Peter Pekarik enters on 72.
  • 77' 1. FSV Mainz 05 ring the changes. Kevin Stoger has done his job and it is now time for Danny Latza to step up.
