Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Hertha BSC and Borussia Dortmund is underway.
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Hertha BSC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' Germany international Julian Weigl has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 25' Jadon Sancho is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Borussia Dortmund so far.
  • 30' Borussia Dortmund fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marko Grujic, as he is very good at scoring at Olympiastadion Berlin with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 40' The energy levels are beginning to show. Lucien Favre might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 45' Hertha BSC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
  • 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' Borussia Dortmund is showing some good football. However, Borussia Dortmund are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Raphael Guerreiro made 536 appearances and scored 45 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Borussia Dortmund that had 536 games and scored 827 goals.
  • 70' With 0 assists to his name this season, Omer Toprak is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Borussia Dortmund.
  • 75' Niklas Stark has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 477 appearances.
  • 80' 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.
  • 85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
  • 90' Hertha BSC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Borussia Dortmund players.
