DESERVED DRAW
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

SEVEN-MINUTE RECORD - BRAVO!
Iker Bravo held that record as Leverkusen's youngest debutant for just seven minutes, with Sertdemir one month younger and now the new holder of that club record!
90'
LEVERKUSEN LEVEL!
Demirbay had to be involved, didn't he? He loops a free-kick into the area and the young Iker Bravo gets his head in there, with the ball breaking free for Andrich to dink it over Schwolow!

SHIRT DIRTY
He's only been on the field for 20 seconds and Boateng already has the dirtiest shirt after a slide tackle on the surface which is getting heavy with some torrential rain hammering down on the capital now.

FRESH LEGS
Two changes for Hertha and Boateng gets a chance in place of Darida, with Tousart replacing Ascacibar.

DEMIRBAY AT THE DOUBLE!
Another Demirbay effort and that's doubled the number of Leverkusen shots on target in the space of 60 seconds! Adli could have converted the rebound, but lifts it over the crossbar, though the offside flag is raised.

ENCOURAGING SIGNS FOR LEVERKUSEN
A good effort from Demirbay which Schwolow tips over the crossbar and that's an encouraging sign for Leverkusen.

RICHTER VOLLEY
Just like Jovetic earlier, Richter snaps at the ball with a volley and sends his shot wide of the far post.
61'
DOUBLE CHANGE
Leverkusen coach Gerardo Seoane makes his first changes with Sinkgraven and Amiri on, probably with a slight change to the formation with Amiri giving more support up front to Adli.

LATE LUNGE
Demirbay goes in late on Serdar and he knows that is a yellow card as he immediately apologises to his opponent and the referee.
55'
JOVETIC CHANCE!
That was arguably an easier opportunity for Jovetic than the one he scored, but he snaps at his volley with only Hradecky to beat and the ball flies wide!

DEMIRBAY DRIVE!
Demirbay, who has been playing as an auxiliary striker at times today, takes aim from 25 yards out with a powerful low drive which just misses the left-hand post. That's the first shot of this second half, and Leverkusen need more to follow.

NEW PERSONAL BEST
Mittelstädt provided his third assist of the season - that is already one more than his personal best for a single season.

HERTHA GROWING
Leverkusen made a good start to the game, but Hertha have posed the greater threat since the opening 10 minutes and they go in at the break a goal to the good thanks to a stunning strike from Jovetic.

PICK THAT ONE OUT!
What a strike from Jovetic, rifling the ball into the top left-hand corner after Mittelstädt heads the ball over the defence for him!

LEVERKUSEN'S LAST SHOT...
...was in the 11th minute. Hertha have not only tightened things up at the back, but they've increased their threat on the break too.

GOAL RULED OUT
Andrich thought he had put Leverkusen in front as he tucked the ball in from Adli's pull-back, but VAR checks and sees that the ball had gone out of play before Adli hooked it back, and the goal does not stand.

SERDAR CLOSE!
The best chance of the game so far with Darida putting Serdar through and his angled drive is turned behind for a corner.

RICHTER'S REPLY
Like Andrich, Richter has a go from distance, although a lot more work went into that attack with the Hertha winger dribbling from deep past four defenders before releasing his shot, which Hradecky saved easily.

ANDRICH SIGHTER
Robert Andrich takes a dig from 30 yards out and misses the post to the left. It was always going to be difficult to score from there, but Leverkusen are already on top.

LEVERKUSEN ON THE ATTACK
Paulinho launches a quick attack down the left wing and earns the first corner of the game.
