19:01
Lukebakio is making a great game. This time the Belgian dribbles the ball out. But he always keeps several opponents busy and his work backwards is also remarkable.
68
18:59
Freiburg have a good free-kick position for a cross. Grifo brings the ball into the penalty area from the left. Christensen safely intercepts the cross.
65
18:57
Hertha plays a free kick 30 meters centrally in front of the Freiburg goal. Richter gets the ball on the left corner of the penalty area and crosses to the middle. Flekken intercepts the cross.
65
18:56
Dōan tries a low shot from the edge of the box, but that’s no problem for Christensen.
64
18:56
Hertha rewards itself for a strong performance. Freiburg was slightly superior in the past few minutes, but Berlin didn’t allow much and repeatedly set accents in front. The lead against the second in the table is not undeserved.
61
18:53
Tooor for Hertha BSC, 2: 1 by Suat Serdar
Suddenly Hertha takes the lead! Richter lays down 30 meters from goal for Serdar. Then Serdar goes to the penalty area with the ball. From 20 meters he shoots flat with right to left below. Flekken is still on it with his fingertips, but cannot prevent the impact.
61
18:52
Grifo brings a good free-kick cross into the middle from the right. Gregoritsch comes centrally in front of the goal to the header. But he doesn’t get the ball on goal.
59
18:50
Dōan does a few step-overs on the left side of the penalty area and then pulls away with his left hand. The shot flies a few meters past the short corner.

56
18:48
After a short corner, Grifo brings a cross from the left corner of the penalty area onto the second post. A Hertha defender can clarify.
53
18:45
Berlin is doing well in the second half. It’s a game at eye level and that honors the Hertha team.
50
18:42
Flekken is relatively far in front of his goal. That’s why Jovetić tries a shot from 40 meters. The ball goes wide of the goal.
49
18:40
Yellow card for Jonjoe Kenny (Hertha BSC)
Kenny straddles the midline with an open sole from the front in Grifo. He’s lucky that he only hits Freiburg easily. Otherwise it would definitely be red.
48
18:40
Hertha comes forward for the first time in the second round. Tousart sends a cross in from the right corner of the box. The ball slips over his slippers and flies over the goal.

Kick-off 2nd half

18:22
mid-term conclusion
Hertha and SC Freiburg go into the break with a 1-1 draw. The hosts started the game well. At the beginning they stopped Freiburg’s offensive game with aggressive attacks and courageous duels. But the Breisgauer got better and better with increasing playing time. The 1-0 after 23 minutes was deserved at the time. After that, the SC had everything under control. Berlin hardly had any chances to score. But a well-played counterattack made the game exciting again. After the 1:1 hand penalty, Hertha came back into play much better. In the second half, everything is still possible for both teams.
45
18:18
Jovetić brings a great cross into the middle from the right. Šunjić heads the ball from the penalty spot. But the edge is a tad too high for him. His graduation lands on the gate.
45
18:17
Official stoppage time (minutes): 1
44
18:16
Grifo shoots a free kick from 25 meters inside the right position two meters over the goal.

Yellow card for Agustín Rogel (Hertha BSC)
Rogel receives a yellow card for repeated fouls.
42
18:13
Hertha has the next degree. Kenny pulls from the edge of the penalty area with his left hand. His shot goes just to the right.
39
18:10
Ejuke goes past Flekken but misses the goal. Lukébakio puts it through perfectly to his strike partner, who passes the Freiburg goalkeeper on the right in the penalty area. But then the angle becomes very acute. He only hits the outside netting.
36
18:07
The equalizer comes as quite a surprise. Freiburg actually had everything under control. But Jovetić’s through balls have been outstanding so far. As a result, Berlin can become dangerous at any time.
34
18:05
Tooor for Hertha BSC, 1: 1 by Dodi Lukébakio
Lukébakio shoots the penalty halfway up to the left. Flekken jumps to the other corner.
32
18:05
There are penalties for Hertha! Again Jovetić plays the perfect pass on the counterattack to Lukébakio, who dribbles again. But this time he puts it down to Jovetić, who crosses it straight into the penalty area. His passport flies to Günter’s hand. Schröder immediately decides on a penalty.
30
18:02
Freiburg performs like a top team here. After the opening goal, the Breisgauer pushed further forward and pressed for the 2:0. At the moment, Hertha only gets chances through standards.
27
17:58
Hertha shows a good reaction. Plattenhardt brings a good free-kick cross to the short post from the left flank. Jovetić comes in and shoots straight to the short corner. The ball goes into the side netting.
25
17:57
The leadership of Freiburg had indicated. After a good initial phase at Hertha, the guests have become more and more dominant. Shortly before the 1-0, Kyereh should have scored from close range. He then used the second top chance.
23
17:54
Tooor for SC Freiburg, 0:1 by Daniel Kyereh
And then it rings. Again it is Dōan who has the ball in the penalty area. This time on the left. He dances with a few opponents and then crosses Kyereh again. This time the Ghanaian doesn’t let the chance be taken away. He shoots the ball from eight meters to the right of the right post.
22
17:54
Freiburg almost makes it 1-0. The guests play textbook-like in the Berlin penalty area. Gregoritsch places in the center with the first contact to the right on Dōan. The Japanese plays the ball in the middle, where Kyereh fails at Christensen.
19
17:51
Freiburg loses the ball in the Hertha penalty area and then things happen quickly. Jovetić plays the perfect long pass into Lukébakio’s barrel. But Freiburg come back in time and force the striker to dribble. Lienhart conquers the ball.
18
17:49
Freiburg is now taking more and more command. Hertha has to be careful. The home side’s initial phase was actually promising.
17
17:48
Günter plays a good cross into the middle from the left. There Gregoritsch comes to the header. But his conclusion from ten meters goes over the gate.
15
17:47
Freiburg also registers in this game. Ginter plays a powerful long ball to Kyereh. Christensen will be out late. As a result, Kyereh goes past the goalkeeper. But he’s too far out. That’s why he flanks the ball from the right onto the second post. Gregoritsch is there and takes the good flank directly. The ball goes into the side netting. Then the flag goes up.
14
17:46
Hertha has the first conclusion of the game. Serdar captures the ball in Grifo’s own half. Then he alludes to Lukébakio on the right, who sets the pace. Lukébakio pulls away just before the penalty area. His shot goes wide to the right.
11.
17:42
So far, the passes in the last third have not arrived on either side. That’s why there are no chances to score.
8th.
17:39
Hertha is slightly superior. The home team is very committed and hasn’t let Freiburg combine in peace so far.
6.
17:37
Plattenhardt brings a first Berlin corner from the right into the middle. Flekken palms the ball clear.
5.
17:36
It’s an intense early stage that mostly takes place in midfield. The two teams don’t give each other anything.
2.
17:34
Freiburg plays a free kick in the left half field briefly. Then a cross from Günter comes in the middle, which Christensen should actually catch. But he has problems. The goalkeeper runs after the ball through the penalty area and gets it. That was anything but certain.
17:09
Christian Streich does not make any changes at SC Freiburg compared to the 2-1 win against Mainz last Saturday. He sends the identical starting eleven onto the pitch.
17:06
Sandro Schwarz makes two changes at Hertha compared to the 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim last Sunday. Rogel starts in central defense instead of Uremović. Jovetić is also preferred to Kanga in attack.
16:56
Week after week you can only find positive words for SC Freiburg. Christian Streich’s side have gone unbeaten in nine straight competitive games since August 12. In the Europa League, the people of Breisgau are leading their group with three wins from three games, and their excellent placement in the Bundesliga is anything but surprising. This team is just fun. Today the SC could jump back to the top of the table.
16:45
Nobody was really interested in Hertha’s sporting situation last week. It was all about the outgoing investor Lars Windhorst, who wants to sell his shares at the purchase price. In the shadow of this mud fight, it was almost forgotten that the Berliners are currently making solid appearances in the Bundesliga. Sandro Schwarz’s team has now been unbeaten in four games. Although it was only enough for a draw three times, the club has stabilized significantly after the weak start to the season.
16:34
Hello and welcome to the 9th match day of the Bundesliga. Today at 5:30 p.m. Hertha BSC welcomes SC Freiburg.
