Hertha also wants the 3:1! Plattenhardt circles a cross from the left wing in front of the goal and forces it out of the gate with an unpleasant ball. The Gladbach keeper parried confidently with both fists.
54
16:47
The leadership for the Berliners is not undeserved! The home side have been the more active and dangerous team since the equalizer in the 30th minute. Gladbach let the game get out of hand!

Tooor for Hertha BSC, 2: 1 by Márton Dárdai
Márton Dárdai gives Hertha a 2-1 lead with a dream goal on his birthday! The Berlin birthday boy takes a cross pass from Ciğerci in front of the sixteen volley and chases the ball to the lower edge of the crossbar and into the goal. What a booth!
50
16:43
Now it’s getting hot again! After a combination via Stindl and Scally, Wolf has plenty of room for a finish on the right. The Gladbacher falls into reserve and shoots over the goal.
49
16:42
Running duel between two fast people! Ngankam wants to get a free ball in the right backcourt and gives full throttle. However, his opponent is Netz, who also has plenty of horsepower in his legs. The Glabacher wins the race.
47
16:39
Fine technique! Richter dances Thuram on the sidelines and puts the ball over his head in the barrel. A scene for the highlight video.
46
16:37
The second 45 minutes begin in the Olympic Stadium. Both teams continue unchanged.

16:37
Kick-off 2nd half
45
16:23
Mid-term conclusion:
Hertha BSC fought back despite being 1-0 down in the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach and went into half-time 1-1 after improving their performance. The Gladbachers first converted a corner kick in the 17th minute and scored the 0:1 with a header from Elvedi. After Ngankam equalized 1-1 (30′), Hertha became significantly stronger and increasingly snatched control of the game from the previously dominant Gladbachers. Shortly before the break, the old lady even missed a few opportunities to make it 2-1. Can Gladbach hit back in the second round or will Hertha get the first points in 2023?
45
16:19
Hertha sniffs at 2: 1! Kramer unintentionally sharpens a throw-in from Plattenhardt and passes the ball directly in front of his own goal. Niederlechner goes down for a diving header and narrowly misses!
45
16:17
Official stoppage time (minutes): 1
44
16:16
Dangerous free kick from Hertha! Plattenhardt crosses from the left of the gate and solves with his cross for a big mess in front of Omlin. Uremović jumps to the ball and is only blocked at the last moment from a shot on goal in the five.
42
16:14
Is it 1: 1 at the break? Gladbach calms the game after the good minutes of the Berliners with more possession and relies on more stability shortly before half-time.
40
16:13
Hertha, however, is further along and eagerly collects corners. Plattenhardt promotes the fourth corner kick into the five, which Gladbach can clean up first. After that, Plattenhardt swings another flank and almost finds Niederlechner, who is straddling, on the left aluminum post.
40
16:11
Since Hertha has been on the scoreboard, Gladbach have had more problems. The foals currently lack the necessary precision and penetrating power on the offensive.
38
16:10
From the left, the corner becomes more dangerous! Richter lengthened the next Plattenhardt post, almost putting Niederlechner in position at the second post. Niederlechner rushes just centimeters past the leather.
36
16:08
Ngankam is striking! The scorer of the 1-1 equalizer travels a lot with Hertha and now scores another corner against Elvedi. Plattenhardt cannot use them as a result.
34
16:07
Tough duels in midfield! Ngankam and Netz both only look at the ball and rush together unchecked. After a short break, both can continue.
32
16:06
Are the Gladbachers unsettled by the goal they conceded? For the first time, the foals take over the ball again and seem unimpressed.
30
16:02
Tooor for Hertha BSC, 1: 1 by Jessic Ngankam
Ngankam ends the goal drought of the Berliners! Ciğerci initiates with a heel on the right, whereupon Richter moves to the goal line and slams the ball full steam into the middle. Ngankam stands free in front of Omlin and slides in. 1:1!
29
16:01
You don’t see that often: Filip Uremović throws in the wrong ball and is called back by Schir Dingert. Possession of the ball goes to the foals.
27
16:00
Magic pass from Stindl! The Gladbach captain looks up briefly on the left and then serves Thuram with a perfect pass into the barrel. However, the Frenchman is being pursued by Plattenhardt and bounces off the Herthaner on the right.
25
15:57
Is something going forward for Hertha? Plattenhardt is trying to increase the risk of scoring and circles a flank deep in front of the foal housing. Niederlechner gets the rebound after a rebound and puts the ball over the goal.
23
15:55
Scally goes forward as a right-back and maneuvers the ball directly in front of the goal with feeling. Christensen takes two steps forward and safely intercepts the cross.
21
15:54
The Berliners are now following. Gladbach controls the game and distributes the ball safely in their own midfield around Stindl and Co. Little access for Hertha!
18
15:52
Lucky for Hertha! Hofmann escaped the entire Hertha team on the center line and was clear after a through ball from Stindl. Christensen in the Hertha goal comes out and rushes into the void and past the Gladbacher. Hofmann still didn’t hit the orphaned goal afterwards, but he doesn’t have to be upset: he was just barely offside beforehand.
17
15:48
Tooor for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 0:1 by Nico Elvedi
Elvedi heads Borussia into the lead! After three corners from Hofmann, the Foals swap their corner kicker and promptly score the goal. Netz takes over and puts the ball on Elvedi’s head in the middle of the five. The Swiss climbs up and pushes the ball into the far corner!
15
15:47
Niederlechner runs after a through ball on the left and extends his body against Scully. The defender of the Gladbach counteracts it and runs easily from the Berlin.
13.
15:45
Ouch! Netz tries to stop a high cross at the penalty spot and unhappily hits Ciğerci with his foot in the face. After a short break, the Hertha player can continue playing.
13.
15:44
Overall, control of the game is now passed to the foals. The Farke-Elf takes possession of the ball and wants to create chances to score. Hertha lurks more for the long ball.
11.
15:43
A little later, Hofmann even gets corner kick number three. This time the cross is too short and Hertha safely knocked it away from the first post.
9.
15:42
Thuram is in focus again and now wins another corner kick for Gladbach on the right against Dárdai. However, the foals do not pose a goal threat in Hofmann’s second corner.
8th.
15:40
Hofmann’s corner is not bad and ends up at Thuram! The Gladbach goalgetter jumps higher than Ciğerci and heads the ball a little too high over the goal at the second post.
7.
15:39
The guests are now finding their way in better and are putting their first accents on the offensive. Plattenhardt follows the starting Stindl in his own sixteen and clears for a corner.
5.
15:38
Netz marches on the left flank for Gladbach and crosses the ball in the box to Uremović’s hand. Since the Gladbacher is offside, a possible penalty discussion is unnecessary.
5.
15:36
Not for the first time! Plattenhardt opts for a short variant, which quickly ends in the backcourt with a ball loss. Nevertheless, the Hertha team continued to follow suit and kept the pressure on the Fohlen defense high in the early minutes.
3.
15:35
Hertha boldly starts! The hosts play forward and get their first corner from the right. Plattenhardt starts – will it be dangerous?
2.
15:34
After the first saved ball into the Herthaner’s sharpener, Wolf picks up the pace on the right side of Gladbacher. Plattenhardt rushes over and can clarify in time.
1.
15:32
And now referee Christian Dingert whistles the game. Hertha stomps in blue and white, Gladbach wears green jerseys in the capital.
15:31
Before it gets sporty, the Bundesliga expresses its sympathy for the people in Turkey and Syria. The Olympic Stadium is silent for the earthquake victims.
15:12
At Hertha, coach Sandro Schwarz made three changes compared to the 0:3 against Eintracht Frankfurt: Ngankam stormed up next to Niederlechner and moved into the starting XI, as did Dardai and winter new signing Ciğerci.
15:10
In the expected “emotional” game in Berlin, Foal trainer Farke has to make two changes to his team: Netz and Wolf replace the injured Bensebaini and the suspended Weigl.
14:56
But good statistics give hope to the suffering Hertha fans against the foals who are weak away from home: Hertha has now been unbeaten in four home games against Gladbach and the guests have only won one away win so far this season. Borussia coach Daniel Farke wants to improve this record today and expects a close duel at the ailing Hertha: “We know how important this game is for Hertha,” said Farke. “We are prepared for it to be an emotional game.”
14:40
After four defeats in a row, Hertha, threatened with relegation, is hoping for their first Bundesliga win in exactly three months (2-0 against Cologne) in today’s home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. In order for Hertha to stop their negative run, the Berliners need one thing above all: goals. In addition to relegation worries, Hertha also suffers from acute harmlessness and has been waiting for a Bundesliga goal for 4.5 hours. If the capital city do not score again in the fourth game in a row, Hertha would even set their own negative record from the 2017/2018 season.
14:19
Hello and welcome to the Bundesliga! At 3:30 p.m. Hertha BSC meets Borussia Mönchengladbach in a home game in the Olympic Stadium. Get the old lady against the foals the first points in the new year
