Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Mercedes-Benz Arena!
  • 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. VfB Stuttgart must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' What a strike from Omar Marmoush! The score is 1-0.
  • 19' Against the run of play, Philipp Forster has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 24' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 29' Wataru Endo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 28 Yellow cards this season.
  • 34' Niklas Stark has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 39' Both keepers have barely been tested. VfB Stuttgart and Hertha BSC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' Stevan Jovetic adds to his 0 season tally! Hertha BSC lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' VfB Stuttgart manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alexis Tibidi is hanging Roberto Massimo on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pellegrino Matarazzo might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 56' Hertha BSC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 63' The whistle greets Myziane Maolida as he departs to be replaced by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp.
  • 68' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfB Stuttgart that had 438 games and scored 440 goals.
  • 72' Kevin-Prince Boateng gets the nod from Hertha BSC. He replaces Marco Richter and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 75' Another substitution for VfB Stuttgart to replace Orel Mangala by Atakan Karazor on 75 minute.
  • 76' A goal from the Montenegro international Stevan Jovetic! He fires home on 76 to make it 2-2!
  • 81' Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has been relatively quiet despite scoring 23 goals in his last 480 appearances.
  • 85' Hertha BSC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Krzysztof Piatek is hanging Ishak Belfodil on the field on 85 minute.
  • 90' Kevin-Prince Boateng catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
