Lotka prevents the equalizer! Zagadou’s planned cross from the left corner of the box becomes a direct attempt that threatens to sink into the right corner. Lotka takes off and saves with his right hand.

16:18
In this overtime, too, the black and yellow are running without a recognizable concept. Flat they almost never combine into the sixteen.

16:16
Official stoppage time (minutes): 4
Round one at Signal Iduna Park will be extended by 240 seconds due to the longer VAR review.
44
16:15
After Wolf’s preliminary work and a fine dribbling on the right side of the penalty area, Brandt pushes the ball from a good eight meters just to the right of the guest box. Because of Wolf’s offside position, the goal would not have counted anyway.
42
16:13
Plattenhardt needs treatment on his head after Akanji was hit in the hip. For the full-back, however, things should continue after a short break.
41
16:12
Guerreiro circles a free kick from the right flank with a lot of spin into the center of the penalty area. In front of Haaland, Tousart clears in dire need with a head at the expense of a corner. It ends with an offensive foul by Akanji on Plattenhardt.

16:08
Wolf reaches Reus’ free-kick cross from the half-left offensive corridor at the penalty spot with his head. He extends it in the direction of the right corner, but ultimately misses the bar so clearly that keeper Lotka doesn’t have to think about a flight insert.
35
16:06
Dortmund keeps the focus of events in this phase deep in the opposing half. In the event of a defeat, the Rose team would not make any friends at all in the VfB Stuttgart camp. He is still 1-0 up against 1. FC Köln.
32
16:03
In the narrow spaces on and in the opposing sixteen, BVB lacks the necessary creativity to be able to get into positions ready for a conclusion. Guest keeper Lotka, whose transfer to the third-division team of black and yellow is subject to legal disputes, is still waiting for his first test.
29
15:59
The Magath selection makes a level-headed impression in the first half hour and has so far been far from nervous actions. Should Augsburg lose the home game against Fürth (currently 1-1), they can even move up to 14th place with a win.
26
15:56
Bellingham sensitively crosses from the deep left side of the sixteen to the middle edge of the five. Haaland breaks away from his guard Plattenhardt, but misses a header from the best position.
24
15:54
Tousart shows an impressive solo in the offensive center and takes three black and yellow players out of the game. The Frenchman then runs out of air on the left side of the penalty area; Zagadou can stop him.
21
15:52
Once again, BVB is chasing an early deficit. Should he mess up the last game of the season again, he would go into the summer break with a very bad feeling.

Tooor for Hertha BSC, 0:1 by Ishak Belfodil
Hertha takes the first step towards staying up! Belfodil shoots from the point with his right foot flat and hard to the left corner. Keeper Bürki has chosen the right side, but cannot reach the ball.

… and there are penalty kick for Berlin! After looking at the pictures, the referee is sure that the Algerian didn’t slip, but was hit by the Dortmund defender.

… Zagadou is said to have brought Belfodil down with a penalty…

15:47
Referee Tobias Stieler has been in contact with suspected penalty kicks VAR…

15:45
There is bad news for BSC, because Stuttgart just took the lead against Cologne. Should Hertha fall behind here in Dortmund, this would mean slipping down to the relegation place.

15:43
Brandt wants to cross a free kick from the right wing into the area between the edge of the five and the penalty spot. His cross is set far too low and is stopped by the blue and white two-man wall.
11
15:41
The Rose selection intersperses their first longer ball possession phase without being able to bring any greater momentum to the lawn in forward motion. The guest has so far had a very good grip on his defensive spaces.
8th
15:38
As a result of a through pass by Serdar, Belfodil refueled in the sixteen. On the baseline he prevails against Akanji and fails at Bürki from a very acute angle. The Algerian was offside anyway.

15:36
Reus is the addressee of a volleyball by Can on the right side of the penalty area. After his acceptance, he misses a quick processing and is ultimately pushed towards the outside lane by Kempf.

15:33
The capitals start stormy. Plattenhardt’s execution of the premiere corner from the right flag is set too low and is headed out of harm’s way at the near post by Guerreiro.

Dortmund vs. Hertha – round one in Signal-Iduna-Park is open!

The south stand honors Michael Zorc with a huge choreography signed with “Once Borusse, always Borusse”.
15:28
The teams have just entered the pitch in front of a full house.
15:10
Coach Felix Magath follows suit for the capital city team, who won the first leg in the Olympic Stadium despite being behind at the break thanks to goals from Belfodil (51st) and Richter (57th, 69th) and who last won in Dortmund in December 2013 the 2-1 home defeat against 1. FSV Mainz 05 four times. Mittelstädt, Plattenhardt, Ekkelenkamp and Belfodil take the places of Dárdai, Selke (both muscular problems) Darida and Boateng (both on the bench).
15:00
Coach Marco Rose has coach Marco Rose on the side of the Westphalians, who have not yet finished a single home league game this season with a draw (twelve wins, four defeats) and who are saying goodbye to Erling Haaland, who is moving to Manchester City, with Michael Zorc and Marcel Schmelzer made a personnel change compared to the 3-1 away win at SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Bürki, who will move to America, gets his deserved farewell in goal.
14:53
In terms of the table, Borussia Dortmund crossed the finish line last Saturday with a lackluster 3-1 away win at bottom side SpVgg Greuther Fürth, but the black and yellow can no longer be ousted from second place. Today they want to make the last match of the first season under Marco Rose not only convincing on the scoreboard, but also in terms of play, so that they can go into the summer break with a good feeling.
14:44
After Hertha BSC had already had direct relegation in mind at the end of April, they have to look again due to the missed away win at DSC Arminia Bielefeld (1-1) and the 1-2 home defeat against 1. FSV Mainz 05 down: Should the blue and whites lose at BVB and VfB Stuttgart win their home game against 1. FC Köln, they would slip to 16th place and have to assert themselves in the relegation.
Hello and welcome to the relegation showdown in the Bundesliga! Runner-up Borussia Dortmund hosts Hertha BSC, who can still slip to the relegation place on this 34th matchday. From 3:30 p.m. the Westphalians and the capital city will face each other on the lawn of the Signal Iduna Park.
