Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Olympiastadion Berlin will turn into a battlefield for Hertha BSC and RB Leipzig.
- 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Julian Nagelsmann might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 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.
- 17' Stefan Ilsanker catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 17.
- 22' 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.
- 23' A moment of madness from Maximilian Mittelstadt on 23 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Hertha BSC will be frustrated.

- 32' Magnificent from Maximilian Mittelstadt! That is 12 goals in 477 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

- 43' The travelling RB Leipzig supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 46' Assisted by Yussuf Poulsen with the perfectly-timed delivery and Marcel Sabitzer makes no mistake. 1-2!
- 51' 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 Kevin Kampl suffering a number of foals already.
- 54' It is a substitution in RB Leipzig team. Stefan Ilsanker is replaced by Kevin Kampl on 54 minute.
- 59' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 64' Hertha BSC have won 472 goals from 477 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 80' The RB Leipzig manager makes a substitution. Nordi Mukiele departs to be replaced by Ethan Ampadu.
- 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 86' Kevin Kampl does the damage! The net is bulging and RB Leipzig surge ahead!
- 87' The supporters are chanting for Mathew Leckie. He replaces Dodi Lukebakio on 87 minute.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Vladimir Darida.
