Full-time: Hertha 2-0 Regensburg
The Regensburg players had everything under control until Ouro-Tagba was sent off with 15 minutes to go. After that, the Berlin players attacked and struck late on before Niederlechner added a second deep into added time to wrap things up.

Goal! 2-0!
All over now! Niederlechner shoots from the edge of the box after a counter-attack. The shot is so hard that Gebhart can't properly deal with it and the ball trickles over the line behind him.

Goal for Hertha!
There it is! Maza plays a nice one-two with Kenny, who passes back with his heel. The youngster gets in and shoots from a tight angle. The ball goes off the foot of Regensburg keeper Gebhart and is given as an own goal.

Half time in Berlin
Hertha dominated the early stages and came close to taking an early 1-0 lead through Schuler (5'). After that Jahn Regensburg improved. Kother had probably the best chance of the first half, but Scherhant made a last ditch clearance to deny the visitors (22'). An interesting game in Berlin so far, just lacking the goals.

Ernst sees yellow
Maza escapes from the midfielder, who then brings down the Berlin youngster with a sliding tackle.
40'
Jahn stand firm
Hertha finally win another corner. Kenny puts it high into the box, but the visitors continue to head away everything that comes into their penalty area.
36'
Cheeky!
Krabownik loses the ball on the halfway line. Kühlwetter sees that Ernst is standing well out of his the goal and doesn't hesitate. The ball drops perfectly but goes just wide of the right post. Lucky escape for Hertha!
34'
No way through
Hertha have struggled enormously in the last quarter of an hour to get into the final third, let alone create a dangerous chance.
33'
Next attempt
This time Jahn's Sebastian Ernst tries his luck from a similar position to Kother just before. But the result remains the same as Hertha's namesake goalkeeper Tjark Ernst dives and holds the attempt.
30'
First caution
Kenny commits a foul on Kühlwetter and then kicks the ball away. Referee Hempel shows a yellow card.
27'
Kother again
Regensburg's left winger is again in the thick of the action. This time he is allowed to dribble as far as the edge of the penalty area and have a shot, but it's too central and no problem for Ernst.

Lively start

8'
Regensburg come forward
Jahn look for Kühlwetter in the penalty area, who tries to turn the ball towards goal with a slide. However, the attempt fails and the ball goes wide of the goal.
5'
Schuler!
Big chance for an early lead! Kenny puts in another cross into the box, Regensburg clear again, but Scherhant follows up. The ball springs to Schuler, who feints and then shoots just over the goal from 10 yards out.

Hertha applying pressure straight away
The hosts are pushing forward from the off. Zeefuik puts in a first cross, Regensburg clear for a corner, which is taken short and does not pose any danger.

Jahn trust winning formation
Regensburg start exactly as they did in the 1-0 win against fellow promoted side Ulm two weeks ago.
Chance for Schuler
The new signing from Magdeburg gets to prove himself in the capital club's starting XI for the first time. In the first three competitive matches so far, he has always come on as a substitute.
Saller for Ziegele
After the 1-0 win against Bochum, Joe Enochs also sees little reason to make big changes with Saller starting at right-back in a back four the only alteration.
Two changes for Hertha
Compared to the 5-1 cup win, Christian Fiel rotates in two positions: Ernst is back between the posts for Gersbeck while Schuler starts instead of Tabaković, who recently departed the club.
Jahn starting XI
Gebhardt - Saller, Ballas, Breunig, Schönfelder - Geipl - Pröger, Ernst, Viet, Kother - Kühlwetter
Hertha starting XI
Ernst - Kenny, Gechter, Kempf, Zeefuik - Karbownik, Demme, Maza - Winkler, Schuler, Scherhant
