Half-time conclusion:
The teams say goodbye at halftime. Hamburger SV leads 2-1 against Hertha BSC in the DFB Cup round of 16. HSV got off to a lively start without necessarily becoming dangerous. Hertha, on the other hand, worked their way into the game better and better and rewarded this with Reese’s opening goal. Pherai equalized the result with a long-range shot before Benés scored Hamburg’s second goal shortly before half-time. In an overall balanced game, everything is still open. We’re looking forward to an exciting second half – see you soon!

The duel between the two second division teams promises an exciting cup evening. Hertha is on the rise after the 5-1 win against SV Elversberg, although the Old Lady has so far had nothing to do with the promotion places in the 2nd Bundesliga.
