16:21
Almost the renewed lead for TSG. The assignment in the Hertha defense is not correct at all. Kramarić goes through a long ball into the penalty area. The Croatian takes a volley. His shot flies against the lower edge of the bar and from there just before the line. Prömel heads the second ball at goal from close range, but a defender clears it off the line.
43
16:18
Hertha’s pressing now works much better than at the beginning of the game. Hoffenheim is repeatedly forced to play long balls or passes backwards.
41
16:15
Now Berlin takes control of the game. The hosts settle down in the Hoffenheim penalty area.
40
16:14
The balance comes as a bit of a surprise. Hoffenheim wasn’t superior in the last few minutes, but Hertha didn’t have any chances to score either. Berlin simply took advantage of a guest error.

Tooor for Hertha BSC, 1: 1 by Dodi Lukébakio
Suddenly there is compensation for Hertha. After a Hoffenheim throw-in, Angeliño plays a funny volley in the center in front of his own penalty area. Ejuke reacts very quickly. He plays the ball straight into Lukébakio’s path. The Belgian remains ice cold in front of Baumann. He flicks the ball into the far corner with his left.
35
16:09
Hoffenheim’s attacks are still much more structured. The guests get the feeling that there is a clear plan behind it.
32
16:07
Hertha has now stopped Hoffenheim’s pressure phase for the time being. The hosts have more of the ball again and appear on the offensive from time to time.
29
16:06
Yellow card for Ivan Šunjić (Hertha BSC)
Šunjić also gets a yellow card for a hard attack in midfield.
29
16:03
Yellow card for Dennis Geiger (1899 Hoffenheim)
Geiger clears Šunjić pretty hard in midfield. There is a yellow card for that.
28
16:02
The leadership had indicated itself. After TSG acted too imprecisely in the first quarter of an hour, they got better and better. Hoffenheim kept coming up dangerously in front of the Berlin goal and the pressure phase continued even after the 1-0.

16:00
Tooor for 1899 Hoffenheim, 0: 1 by Andrej Kramarić
Hoffenheim plays the corner briefly and then ties Hertha to their own penalty area. In the second attempt, Angeliño crosses from the left into the backcourt. Kabak volleys the ball from the edge of the penalty area. Kramarić runs into the shot and converts from eight yards with his left foot. The leadership is absolutely deserved.
24
15:59
Kadeřábek crosses again from the right into the middle. The ball is extended. Angeliño comes to an end in the back room. Lukébakio saves the shot to the corner.
23
15:57
TSG has now taken control of the game. Hertha is always a step too late. The guests are pushing for the lead.
22
15:56
Yellow card for Suat Serdar (Hertha BSC)
Serdar steps on Prömel’s foot in midfield. There is a yellow card for that.
21
15:55
Dabbur has the next Hoffenheim degree. The Israeli is staged by Kadeřábek. Then he scuttles through several Hertha players in the penalty area and takes a shot from the near corner with his right. Christensen is down quickly and saves the ball.
20
15:54
Geiger takes the corner flat towards the penalty spot. Kramarić finishes free with the right. His shot goes just over the bar. That was a good chance.
19
15:53
Hoffenheim also appears at the front. Kadeřábek crosses the ball unchallenged from the right into the middle. Uremović clears a corner with a header.
18
15:51
Hertha has been the much more active team so far. Hoffenheim is not really in the game yet.
16
15:51
Lukébakio has the next degree for Hertha. After a throw-in from the right, Tousart extends with his head. Lukébakio takes a shot from ten meters with the right. But he doesn’t hit the ball properly. Baumann catches the central conclusion.
14
15:48
In the replay it can be clearly seen that Uremović kicks the defender and not vice versa. That’s not a penalty.
13.
15:47
Hertha has a good free-kick position. Plattenhardt and Lukébakio are ready on the right corner of the penalty area. The German centers the ball. Hoffenheim clear but Uremović goes down and demands a penalty.
11.
15:45
It can be clearly seen that Hertha is waiting for a counterattack. Hoffenheim’s inaccuracies have so far played into the hands of the home side.
8th.
15:43
Kanga has the first big chance of the game. He is put into the penalty area on the left by Ejuke. The striker gets through well against Vogt and then pulls from 14 meters. His shot goes over the goal. There was more in it.
7.
15:41
The passes in the last third are still far too imprecise on both sides. The ball often goes straight into the defender’s foot.
5.
15:38
The first few minutes are pretty torn. There is still no flow of play, but Hoffenheim is significantly higher than Hertha.
2.
15:36
The first big excitement. Dingert points to the penalty spot. Uremović clearly fouled Baumgartner. But the linesman’s flag goes up. It was previously offside.
1.
15:35
The game started with a slight delay because a goal net still had to be repaired.
15:04
André Breitenreiter makes two changes at Hoffenheim compared to the 0-0 draw against Freiburg. In the back three, Stanley N’Soki starts in place of Kevin Akpoguma. In addition, Munas Dabbur is preferred to Georginio Rutter in attack.
15:02
Compared to the 1-1 draw against Mainz before the international break, Sandro Schwarz only changed one position at Hertha. Suat Serdar starts in central midfield in place of Jean-Paul Boëtius. The Dutchman is out due to a testicular tumor. He has already had an operation and on Thursday the good news came that no chemotherapy is necessary. Get well soon!
14:55
TSG can be very satisfied with their start to the season. Before this match day, André Breitenreiter’s team was in fourth place with 13 points from seven games. A win today would even catapult Hoffenheim into third place.
14:47
Hertha was in good shape before the international break. Five of the previous six points have come from the past three games. The capitals have been unbeaten since August 27th. However, Sandro Schwarz’s team is still in the bottom of the table. More victories are urgently needed. Especially the goal yield leaves a lot to be desired. In seven games, Berlin has only scored seven goals.
14:36
Hello and welcome to the 8th match day of the Bundesliga. Today at 3:30 p.m. Hertha BSC welcomes TSG Hoffenheim.
