18:57
Christensen with a strong save. Malen is allowed to open up 25 meters in front of the goal. He goes into the penalty area on the left and then puts it across to Bynoe-Gittens. The Englishman deducts from 14 meters. The shot is a bit too out of place, but you still have to hold the ball from a distance.
63
18:55
Plattenhardt brings a wide flank into the middle from the left flank. The ball goes out the far post before anyone can reach it.
60
18:52

58
18:49
Yellow card for Tolga Ciğerci (Hertha BSC)
Ciğerci comes too late against Can on the center line and kicks the Dortmunder on the foot. There’s yellow for that.
55
18:47
Hertha is really putting pressure on now. The guests put BVB under pressure deep in their own half. Dortmund swims partially.
52
18:43
Next good chance for Hertha. Plattenhart brings the ball flat in front of the goal from the left in the penalty area. In the six-yard space, Niederlechner narrowly missed.
51.
18:43
Kobel saves BVB from equalizing. Niederlechner accepts a pass well at the edge of the penalty area and then doesn’t hesitate. He pulls off with his left. Kobel prevents the impact.
49
18:40
The connection goal for Hertha is not undeserved due to the course of the game. The timing is of course ideal.

18:38
Tooor for Hertha BSC, 2: 1 by Lucas Tousart
Hertha with a lightning start after the break! After Dortmund lost the ball on the center line, things went quickly. Ngankam runs the ball to the left of the baseline and plays back to Serdar, who continues with good touch to Tousart. The Frenchman shows his technical skills and slams the ball under the crossbar with his inside left.

Kick-off 2nd half

18:25
mid-term conclusion
Dortmund goes into the break with a 2-0 lead against Hertha. The guests from Berlin played a really good first half. From the start they made it difficult for BVB by blocking the center. Brandt and Reus only got a little space. But if one of the two then had space, it also became dangerous. Before the 1-0 it was Reus who ran through the middle, before the 2-0 Brandt played the opening pass. However, Adeyemi was the decisive man for both goals. The winger scored the first goal himself with a back-heel and set up the second beautifully. It was a gala performance by Adeyemi, which was unfortunately cut short by injury. Nevertheless, it can be said: Berlin is doing a good game and is not yet beaten.
45
18:20
The end of this first half is fairly uneventful. Hertha’s pressure phase after 2-0 for Dortmund was almost ten minutes ago. Nothing has happened in the two penalty areas since then.
45
18:17
There are five minutes of stoppage time because the game was interrupted for several minutes at the beginning due to clouds of smoke.
45
18:16
Official injury time (minutes): 5
44
18:16
The 2:0 for Dortmund doesn’t really correspond to the course of the game. Actually, Hertha makes a really good game. Adeyemi’s individual class is responsible for the result.
41
18:12
Brandt’s free kick comes sharply into the penalty area, but all black and yellow miss.
40
18:11
Malen gets an arm from Dárdai in the face on the right wing. There’s a free kick for that.
39
18:10
Hertha has chances every minute. Ciğerci pulls from the second row. Kobel catches the ball and then gets upset about his back line.
38
18:09
After the corner Richter pulls from a distance. The ball goes half a meter over it.
37
18:09
Next dangerous action of Berlin. Richter brings a mixture of shot and cross to the far post from the right corner of the box. Kobel is still on the ball with his fingertips. Serdar narrowly misses. There is corner.
37
18:08
The guests are still good in the game. This time Ciğerci deducts from the penalty area. Kobel catches the ball. Then the flag goes up.
35
18:07
Substitution at Borussia Dortmund: Jamie Bynoe-Gittens
35
18:07
Substitution at Borussia Dortmund: Karim Adeyemi
34
18:06
Hertha once again has a good degree. Uremović heads in from a Plattenhardt corner from the left. The conclusion comes too central. Kobel catches the ball.
34
18:05
Adeyemi has to be substituted. It’s a shame because the international is in top form. In this condition he can decide games alone.
32
18:02
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 2:0 by Donyell Malen
Adeyemi’s pace is almost unfair! The Dortmund attacker runs away on the left wing Uremović. He then plays the perfect pass to the far post, where Malen runs in and pushes the ball over the line. Even before the pass, Adeyemi grabs his thigh. Unfortunately, he was injured during this action.
30
18:01
BVB with the next degree. Malen moves from the left to the middle and shoots into the short corner with his right. The ball goes into the side netting.
27
17:58
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 1:0 by Karim Adeyemi
Adeyemi magics the ball into the goal! Reus has space in the center. He goes to the penalty area and pulls from 16 meters. The shot would have gone wide, but Adeyemi is in the firing line and puts the ball beautifully in the net with his right heel next to the left post. A dream goal!
25
17:56
Best chance for BVB! Brandt brings a good cross into the middle from the left. Centrally in front of the goal, Reus comes free from seven meters to the header. But he puts the ball to the right.
25
17:55
After a corner from the left, Wolf comes to an end. The ball is blocked.
24
17:55
Brandt’s free-kick cross does not find a teammate.
23
17:54
Adeyemi gets a long ball on the left touchline and is then shoved by Richter. There is a free kick for BVB.
21
17:53
Double chance for Hertha! Schlotterbeck loses the ball against Niederlechner. The striker approaches the penalty area and pulls powerfully from 20 meters. Kobel saves the ball to the right. Richter is right there. He pulls in the middle and shoots at the long corner. This time Kobel holds the ball.
19
17:50
The hosts are moving the game more and more into half of Hertha. BVB is getting better.
16
17:48
BVB has a first corner. In 2023, that’s a specialty of the black and yellow. Brandt’s cross is cleared by Kempf.
15
17:46
Dortmund have a promising first attack after a bad pass from Berlin, but Adeyemi slips in the penalty area and loses the ball.
14
17:45
Berlin has been doing a really good game so far. The guests are in good shape, so Dortmund aren’t attacking yet.
12.
17:43
Hertha has the first conclusion of the game. Wolf plays a catastrophic bad pass from his own penalty area right into Ngankam’s feet. The Hertha striker doesn’t hesitate. His flick goes just over the gate.
10
17:41
Dárdai hits a ball from the back in front of the goal. The cross sails into the arms of Kobel.
9.
17:40
Hertha narrows the center and makes the build-up game difficult for BVB. The usual play stations, Can and Brandt, have no space and no time.
7.
17:38
The game is still pretty broken. Many small interruptions and ball losses disrupt the flow of the game.
5.
17:36
The ball rolls again.
4.
17:34
The smoke has only gotten heavier over the past two minutes. The interruption continues.
2.
17:33
It’s getting a bit foggy in the Westfalenstadion. The Hertha fans ignited a little. The game is briefly interrupted.
16:58
Today Sandro Schwarz follows the motto “never change a winning team”. He sends the same starting XI on the field as against Gladbach.
16:57
On the staff: Edin Terzić rotates after success in the premier class. He changes his starting line-up to four positions. Hummels starts for Süle in central defense. Ryerson replaces Guerreiro in the back left. In addition, Reus starts for Bellingham at headquarters and Malen starts up front instead of Haller.
16:46
So far, the new year has been anything but smooth for Hertha. In the first four games there were four defeats. But this negative trend was finally stopped last Sunday. The old lady won 4-1 against Borussia Mönchengladbach. With this win, Sandro Schwarz’s team is back in the non-relegation zone in the table. With a win today, Berlin would climb to 14th place.
16:45
Dortmund is still perfectly on track in 2023. The black and yellow won seven in seven competitive games. A 1-0 win over Chelsea on Wednesday put them in a good position to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. BVB could draw level with Bayern in the table with a win today. Edin Terzić’s team is already in the quarterfinals of the cup. So there are still several titles possible this season.
16:29
Hello and welcome to the 21st match day of the Bundesliga. Today at 5:30 p.m. Hertha BSC is a guest at Borussia Dortmund.
