Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Bremer Brucke that hosts another battle between VfL Osnabruck and Hertha BSC.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The referee calls foul for Josip Brekalo. He receives a card.
  • 15' It is a cagey affair so far. VfL Osnabruck in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Hertha BSC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfL Osnabruck that had 47 games and scored 51 goals.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both VfL Osnabruck and Hertha BSC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 37' A moment of madness from Linus Gechter on 37 minutes earns him a card. Hertha BSC will be frustrated.
  • 42' The home supporters are growing impatient. VfL Osnabruck must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 47' 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 Deyovaisio Zeefuik suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' A goal from the Croatia international Josip Brekalo! He fires home on 50 to make it 0-1!
  • 50' That looks like a foul for a card for Adrian Beck.
  • 55' The referee has no hesitation. Robin Fabinski is booked for VfL Osnabruck — card on 55.
  • 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Linus Gechter made 470 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 68' A tactical swap from VfL Osnabruck — Daniel-Kofi Kyereh on, Leonhard Munst off on 68 minutes.
  • 70' The deadlock is broken! Kevin Sessa gets on the scoresheet on 70 minutes.
  • 75' Both keepers have barely been tested. VfL Osnabruck and Hertha BSC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 77' Fresh legs for Hertha BSC! Deyovaisio Zeefuik comes on to replace Mads Pedersen.
  • 82' Jonathan Gomez is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 1 goals this season for the defender.
  • 87' Selim Telib is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pascal Klemens at the 87 minute mark.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Jannik Muller as he leaves the pitch. Theo Janotta steps in for VfL Osnabruck.
  • Another three points for Hertha BSC.
