Heise briefly crosses to Stindl, to whom Márton Dárdai arrives a moment too late. This allows Stindl to shoot directly, but Tjark misses high!

Hertha kicks off in front of their home crowd. The fans in the stands are even jumping and singing on the backstretch. Let’s go on a wild ride!

Both teams enter the field under the impressive floodlights of the Olympic Stadium. The atmosphere is fantastic. A sea of flags covers the stands. It will not be long!
8:20 p.m
Today’s game will be led by Michael Bacher. The 32-year-old official is assisted by linesmen Nico Fuchs and Tobias Fritsch.
8:10 p.m
Despite the friendship, Hertha and Karlsruhe only met in 24 competitive games. The old lady holds a slight advantage of 11 to 7 wins. In fact, the last meeting was twelve years ago. In the 2010/2011 promotion season, Berlin won 4-0 before they followed up with a 2-6 win away from home.
8:00 p.m
Pál Dárdai can look forward to the two returnees Marc Oliver Kempf and Toni Leistner, who recently had to serve their bans. Linus Gechter and Andreas Bouchalais are out of the starting eleven. At KSC, Christian Eichner even reported three player deceptions. Sebastian Jung didn’t get fit in time. David Herold and Leon Jensen are also on the bench for the time being. They will be replaced by Philip Heise, Daniel Brosinski and Jérôme Gondorf.
19:51
Things are going even worse at KSC than at Hertha. Since the Baden team only got one win from the last eight games, the team fell to relegation place. In view of quietly cherished dreams of promotion, this is of course very disappointing and the goal must be overturned as quickly as possible. Otherwise the KSC risks missing out. It wouldn’t be the first time that the blue and white were surprisingly caught in a relegation vortex.
7:40 p.m
There is simply no consistency in Hertha’s game. Since the three opening defeats, victories and defeats have alternated with great regularity. This means that they only have 16 points, which is only enough for twelfth place in a league that is largely balanced. With a win against Karlsruhe, Herthan would at least be able to look back on three home wins in a row and four games without defeat. In addition, you could establish a certain connection to the promotion ranks again.
7:30 p.m
Two fan friendships meet when Hertha BSC meets Karlsruher SC. But there is a lot at stake in terms of sport. It starts at 8:30 p.m. Welcome!
