Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Karlsruher SC launch into their encounter with Hertha BSC.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hertha BSC that had 464 games and scored 445 goals.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.

- 23' Haris Tabakovic makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Hertha BSC are in front.
- 28' The 29-year-old Jonjoe Kenny has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
