…Bénes shoots the ball into the wall.

Yellow card for Toni Leistner (Hertha BSC)
Leistner is too impetuous in a duel 27 meters centrally in front of his own goal. Yellow and free kick are the consequences…
71.
22:38
Reese runs forward down the left side and crosses high to the second post. Scherhant appears completely free there, but brings the ball into the middle and not directly at the goal. This is exactly what Heuer Fernandes speculated on, he defuses the attempted pass.
70.
22:36
Good thing for those who can change like that: With Prevljak, the home team brings a new offensive force for Niederlechner.

Yellow card for Andreas Bouchalakis (Hertha BSC)
Bouchalakis reaches a little too hard in midfield. He is warned.
68.
10:35 p.m
It’s getting more heated. The atmosphere in the stadium is charged, and the duels are also tough. It will be an exciting last 20 minutes.
65.
22:32
Now we have a fight. Both teams hit the net once within five minutes. Now it will be interesting to see who wins the match.
63.
10:30 p.m
Yellow card for Miro Muheim (Hamburger SV)

22:28
Tooor for Hertha BSC, 1:1 by Haris Tabakovic
Berlin shakes itself briefly and equalizes! Reese runs across the box from the left and takes a powerful shot from 20 meters. This year Fernandes only claps forward, where Tabakovic easily dusts off.

22:23
Tooor for Hamburger SV, 0-1 by Miro Muheim
No, the guests immediately take the lead! Dompé has too much space on the left and passes briefly to Muheim in the half-space. The left-back takes a flat shot from 18 meters with his weaker right foot. Ernst dives and looks a bit unhappy when he hits the ground. On a good day, the goalkeeper saves the shot.
56.
22:23
It will be exciting to see how the teams deal with this 30-minute break. Do you need a long time to get used to it?
53.
22:21
In fact – it continues with a corner for the Berliners. The clock resets from minute 74 to minute 53. And there’s something exciting about to happen! After the corner kick, the ball comes back into the Hamburg penalty area. Tabakovic fails at Heuer Fernandes, then he is taken off his feet for a penalty. However, he was offside when the ball was passed from the half-right attacking lane.
53.
22:16
Now the actors return after around five minutes. Apparently the game should be stopped if balls fly onto the field again in the next five minutes. It remains exciting.
53.
22:08
No – referee Schlager interrupts the game and sends all players to the dressing rooms.
53.
22:07
Pál Dárdai says goodbye to the Hertha fans with applause. Can the game continue?
53.
10:04 p.m
The break has now lasted over 15 minutes. Hertha coach Pál Dárdai now goes to the home fans and tries to have a calming effect on them. Does that help?
53.
10:00 p.m
Football is still not played. All players on the field stay warm as best they can and kick the tennis balls off the field. But this doesn’t end yet.
53.
9:57 p.m
After a break of around ten minutes, it seemed as if things could continue – then new balls flew onto the field. Schlager won’t be watching this for a long time.
53.
9:54 p.m
Referee Schlager speaks to both coaches and is probably considering whether the game needs to be stopped completely. The ball throwing doesn’t stop.
53.
9:52 p.m
The yellow felt balls still have to be dragged from the field. Individual balls keep flying onto the pitch, meaning we can’t continue.
53.
9:50 p.m
Tennis balls are flying onto the lawn again. The encounter has to be interrupted again.
53.
9:47 p.m
Now the East Germans are registering. The pill reaches Tabakovic via Kenny and Niederlechner, who brings the cross from the right to the second post. Winkler doesn’t get a decisive header there. At least Niederlechner gets a corner.
51.
9:46 p.m
Even after the restart, the Walter troupe made a better impression. The hosts, on the other hand, first have to find themselves again.
48.
9:43 p.m
With a quick movement, Dompé moves inwards from the left penalty area. However, his shot to the far corner goes clear.
46.
9:40 p.m
Things will continue without any personnel changes.

9:40 p.m
Kick-off of the 2nd half
45.+5
9:26 p.m
Half-time conclusion:
Break in the capital, the score between Hertha BSC and HSV is still 0-0. After just a few moments it was the guests who had a good chance through Jatta. As a result, the pace of the game, which was high at the beginning, gradually decreased, with the Elbstadt team remaining the better and more active team. So after 17 revolutions of the pointer it was Németh who hit the crossbar with his head. The Old Lady, on the other hand, needed some time to find her way into the game. Tabakovic also missed their best opportunity with his head when he hit the post in the 42nd minute. Overall, we see a good game in which HSV is better, but at the same time we hope for even more scoring opportunities. See you soon!
45.+5
9:22 p.m
End of 1st half
45.+4
9:22 p.m
Németh climbs up after a cross from the left, his header attempt whizzes wide to the right from eight meters. Then it’s half time.
45.+2
9:20 p.m
Yellow card for Immanuël Pherai (Hamburger SV)
45.
9:20 p.m
Official added time (minutes): 4
42.
9:15 p.m
Tabakovic hits the post! The Berlin attacker nods a Niederlechner cross from the right with a header from nine meters onto the right longitudinal bar. This year Fernandes would have been powerless.
40.
9:14 p.m
Yellow card for Marc Oliver Kempf (Hertha BSC)
Kempf fouls Pherai in the opponent’s half, he sees the first yellow card of the encounter.
39.
9:12 p.m
Why not? Dompé tries a direct free kick near the left corner of the penalty area. But Ernst stands well and parries.
36.
9:10 p.m
That was more dangerous! Ambrosius heads the ball at the second post after a corner. Under pressure he puts him in the arms of Ernst, and an offensive foul is also decided.
33.
9:06 p.m
From the right, Bénes sends a free kick to the second post. Dompé slides past the ball there – no danger.
31.
9:04 p.m
It remains tricky. Linesman Waschitzki-Günther’s flag gives up the ghost. He is handed a new one.
28.
9:01 p.m
After a two-minute interruption and anti-DFB shouts that echoed through the stadium, the game continued.
26.
9:00 p.m
Tennis balls fly from the stands onto the lawn. These have to be cleared from the place first.
23.
8:57 p.m
In terms of expected goals, HSV is already at 1.04, Hertha is still at 0. So a lead for the guests would be well deserved.
20.
20:53
The people of Spreestadt can count themselves lucky that they didn’t fall behind here. There’s very little going on offensively for them so far.
17.
20:51
Bar! On the left wing, Pherai is sent to the baseline. Németh initially presses his cross into the six-yard box from a central position onto the crossbar. Bénes wants to put the rebound in the goal, but from a few meters he only stumbles into Ernst’s arms.
16.
8:49 p.m
A quarter of an hour has passed and the game is increasingly losing pace. Apart from the Jatta opportunity in the first minute, little happens in the penalty areas.
13.
8:47 p.m
Several standards in a row bring nothing to the Rothosen. Today, idle balls can be an effective way to put Hertha in trouble.
10.
8:44 p.m
Now the Berliners are increasingly working their way into the game. However, we are still waiting in vain for the home team to have a chance.
7.
20:41
The people of Hamburg seem to be a bit more active in the first few moments. They look for the way forward with quick passes.
4.
8:38 p.m
Things are getting off to a lively start. Both teams act with high intensity.
1.
8:35 p.m
After a minute we see the first good opportunity for HSV! A quick flat pass from the center lands at Jatta on the right in the sixteen-yard box. His direct shot from twelve meters lands flat in Ernst’s arms.
1.
8:34 p.m
Game start
8:31 p.m
The stadium in Berlin is currently completely filled with smoke and there is absolutely nothing to see. The kick-off is delayed.
20:11
Hamburg also suffered a setback recently. At the beginning of the second half of the season there was an away win against FC Schalke 04 (2-0), but last weekend there was a completely surprising narrow home defeat at home against Karlsruher SC (3-4). In particular, defensively, they didn’t necessarily appear ready for promotion. The good thing from their point of view: As fourth in the table, they are only two points behind second-placed Holstein Kiel. Since both the Störche and the third-place team from Fürth have already played, the Elbstadt team can move up to a direct promotion spot with a win today.
19:54
The trend at Hertha is pointing downwards. In the new year there was nothing to celebrate in the league against Fortuna Düsseldorf (2:2) and at SV Wehen Wiesbaden (1:3) as well as in the DFB Cup semi-final game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1:3) during the week. Having started the season as a candidate for promotion, the capital city team is currently languishing in tenth place with 26 points. With them six ahead of position 16, it seems as if they have to look even further down. That makes it all the more important to win against HSV today.
7:45 p.m
As usual, Fernandes starts in goal for the North Germans, with a four-man chain formed in front of him consisting of Van Der Brempt, Ramos, Ambrosius and Muheim. Meffert, Pherai and Bénes form the midfield, Jatta, Németh and Dompé are supposed to cause a stir up front.
7:37 p.m
Let’s take a quick look at the lineups. At the Old Lady, seriousness begins again in the box, with Kenny, Leistner, Kempf and Karbownik defending in front of it. Barkok and Bouchalakis protect the double six, with Palko Dárdai and Winkler spinning in front of them. Tabakovic and Niederlechner storm up front.
