Full-time: Karlsruhe 1-3 Hertha Berlin
Hertha Berlin win against KSC and move up to fifth place in the table. The visitors made better use of their chances, while Karlsruhe tried in vain in the second half and failed to score another. The home side certainly had their chances to take a point or two here.

Wanitzek misses
Right-back Jung has plenty of space and time to cross. In the middle, it sails over Schleusener, Wanitzek jumps a bit too high and can't reach it. A subsequent cross a few seconds later finds Pfeiffer, who puts the ball just centimetres wide of the goal with his first touch.

"We're playing against a team that hasn't lost a match yet. For me, they're one of the top sides in this league. They're doing things really well. It will be a challenge, but for us, it's about getting three points."
