Full-time: Hamburg 1-1 Hertha Berlin
Thanks to a strong second half and a late goal by Kenny, Hertha ultimately celebrated a point at Hamburg. The hosts had only themselves to blame as they became more and more passive after the hour mark and ultimately didn't have much left in the tank to repel their opponents.

Hamburg attack once more
The home side are throwing everything forward once more and win a corner. Can they grab a second goal here?
86'
There's the equaliser!
After a cross from Maza, Hamburg fail to clear the ball out of the penalty area after several attempts. In the end, Kenny is there and finishes to the left of the goal for the equaliser.

Schuler frustrated
Somehow the ball finds its way to Schuler in the Hamburg penalty area after a corner kick from Kenny. The substitute strikes with his right foot on the turn, but puts it straight at Heuer Fernandes.

Almost an own goal!
A cross from the left side by Maza and Muheim wants to clear at the far post. His header goes just over the top right corner. HSV are struggling.

Hertha hit the post!
After a Hertha corner, the Hamburg defence is disorganised. As a result, Gechter gets on the ball unchallenged on the left in the penalty area and hits the left post with a right-footed shot. That's been the visitors' best chance so far.
56'
Tabakovic misses
Maza puts in a sharp cross from the left side into the Hamburg penalty area, where the Berlin striker just fails to connect with the ball.
50'
So close!
HSV's Elfadli drives the ball through midfield and is not challenged until just in front of the box. There he passes out wide left to Muheim, whose low shot whistles just past the right post.
48'
Heuer Fernandes stands tall
Hertha are immediately on the front foot with Gechter playing a through ball into the penalty area for Tabaković. Hamburg's keeper is alert, coming out of his goal to get to the ball before the Berlin striker.
46'
Back underway
The second 45 minutes are underway and Hertha have made one substitution. Dudziak, already booked and repeatedly too slow against Jatta, has gone off. Zeefuik has come on for him.
Kick-off!

Half-time in Hamburg
Following an impressive headed goal by Königsdörffer, the hosts had everything under control and could well have added another goal against the jittery Berliners. Hertha will have to come out very differently in the second half in order to take at least one point away from this game.

Half-time
41'
That was cheeky!
Karabec was afforded too much space at the right corner of the penalty area and curled the ball towards the left corner of the goal. The ball dropped just wide of the goal and into touch. Ernst - with a great diving stretch - would probably have got there anyway.
26'
Great save!
Hertha's goalkeeper prevents his side from going two goals down with a great reaction stop. Over Königsdörffer and Muheim, HSV play themselves into the box from the left side, where the ball is passed to Reis on the penalty spot. His low finish towards the left corner is cleared by Ernst.
20'
Heuer Fernandes at the second attempt
Kenny whips a corner kick in towards goal. The Hamburg goalkeeper punches it clear with one fist, then safely catches the second ball swung into the box.
18'
That was close!
Schonlau belts the ball from about 25 meters towards the right corner of the goal, but the attempt goes just wide.
13'
Hamburg push on
HSV now have the upper hand and want to continue taking advantage right away. Dompé gets a shot off in the opposition box, but slips and so cannot direct his effort on target.
7'
Ernst punches clear
Muheim whips the corner kick into the six-yard box, but Berlin's keeper is there and clears uncompromisingly.
6'
First Hamburg chance
After a foul on Karabec, the "Red Shorts" are awarded a free kick on the right side. Winkler blocks Muheim's cross into the box for a corner.
3'
Brave start by the guests
Hertha have had a lot of possession right from the start, and they are not playing it around at the back either. Set up by Dudziak on the left side, Maza has a shot from 20 metres, however, Heuer Fernandes is quickly down low to make an assured save.
