Full-time: Hertha 3-1 Braunschweig
After an uneventful first half and a somewhat surprising deficit, Hertha stepped up their game in the second half and ultimately won 3-1. The turning point was the red card shown to Braunschweig's keeper Grill, which led to them being a man down and conceded a penalty for the equaliser.

Cuisance!
The goalscorer of the temporary equaliser goes down the right side into the penalty area and takes a shot. Johansson saves it but parries the ball forward and is lucky that Niederlechner, who was positioned there, can't turn it home.

No way through
Philippe once again pops up with a rare offensive action for the visitors. Coming from the left side, he tries to cut into the penalty area but is stopped by Klemens.

A substantial amount of added time
A whole seven minutes are added on. Justified. Especially with the goalkeeper change after the red card against Grill having taken quite a bit of time.

Fiél's golden touch
Substitute Niederlechner first won the penalty that saw Berlin take the lead and then scored himself to increase it and in all likelihood kill of the match. A strong performance from the 33-year-old.
83'
GOAAAL for Hertha! The decisive moment!
Now the result is beyond doubt. Köhler loses the ball in front of his own penalty area to Sessa, who passes it on to Niederlechner. The substitute takes a shot from 18 metres out and finds the bottom right corner to make it 3-1. That should be it.
79'
Rush job
Köhler simply whips the resulting free-kick into the penalty area, and Hertha clear it without any problems.
78'
Poor tackle
In his attempt to win the ball in front of his own penalty area, Maza only manages to catch Tauer. He duly receives a yellow card for the dangerous tackle.
77'
Another Dárdai
Under the watchful eyes of his father Pál, who is sitting in the stands, substitute Palkó takes his place on the field.
73'
Scherning reacts
Two fresh Braunschweig players are on the pitch after the visitors went 2-1 down. Somehow, Eintracht are still aiming to snatch a point here!
72'
GOOOAL for Hertha!
This time Maza steps up to the spot. He also aims for the bottom-right corner... and he too is successful! Berlin have turned the match around and now lead 2-1.
70'
Another penalty!
Bell Bell wants to clear a high ball in the penalty area but overlooks the approaching Niederlechner. As a result, the Braunschweig player kicks the Berlin player in the foot and concedes another spot-kick for the home side.
The turning point in the match?

67'
A more offensive approach
Fiél wants to go for it now and brings on Niederlechner as another attacking option.
66'
Blocked
Cuisance shoots from the edge of the penalty area, but his attempt is blocked. The Berlin player claims a handball, but the referee gives his appeal short shrift.
63'
The yellow wall still stands
A man down, the visitors are standing deep in their own half and closing down the spaces - what else can they do? Hertha still missing the spark to break through the opposing defence.
60'
Another booking
A foul in midfield results in a yellow card for another Berlin player.
58'
Quicker hosts
The Berlin team is taking almost half as long as their visitors to win back possession. That is enormous.

Now it's getting interesting
The sending-off, followed by the equaliser, could be the spice in the soup here. The second half now promises more action than the first.
54'
The equaliser!
Cuisance dusts himself off and and coolly slots the penalty into the bottom-right corner. Braunschweig's substitute keeper guessed the right way, but had no chance against this precisely taken spot-kick.
53'
Is it a penalty?
The big question - while substitute goalkeeper Johansson is being brought on - is whether the foul occurred outside or inside the penalty area. Referee Dr. Braun awards the spot-kick.
50'
What a blunder!
On a long ball from Berlin's half, Braunschweig's keeper comes out of his box, but misses the ball and opts to rugby tackle Cuisance in the penalty area, earning a no-questions asked red card.
47'
Nice attempt
Szabó tries an overhead kick from around the edge of the penalty area. It looks stylish but remains harmless and Ernst snaffles it up easily.
46'
We're back underway!
The second 45 minutes in Berlin have kicked off. The home side made one substitution during the break, while Braunschweig remain unchanged.

Half-time in Berlin
It hasn't been a fireworks display at the Olympia Stadion in the first half, with both teams only managing one chance each from distance. Nevertheless, the visitors are leading because Kaufmann was given too much space on one occasion and Szabó happened to be in exactly the right position. But it's still all to play for in the second half.

Another yellow card
First yellow card for the visitors as Ehlers is sanctioned for bringing Cuisance down in midfield with an overly robust challenge.
42'
No immediate reaction from Hertha
Although the home side don't appear particularly shocked by suddenly going behind, they're not exactly launching a major assault on the opposition's goal either. A long-range effort from Maza at least leads to a corner. However, it comes to nothing.
38'
GOAAAL for Eintracht!
The visitors take the lead out of nowhere! Kaufmann comes down the right flank, isn't properly challenged by Dárdai and manages to deliver a low cross into the penalty area. Szabó is perfectly positioned there and slots it into the left corner. No chance for Ernst to save it.

Not much happening
Not much is happening on the pitch at the moment, with the teams cancelling each other out in midfield. But at least the atmosphere in the stands is good.
30'
Painful
Sessa catches Gómez with a late challenge in midfield and receives his just desserts from referee Dr. Braun: a yellow card.
Hard-fought encounter at the Olympia Stadion

Centimetres!
That was close. Braunschweig wins the ball at the halfway line. Philippe breaks through, covers a lot of ground and finally shoots from 20 metres out. The ball whistles just past the right post. Best chance so far for the visitors!

Tactical foul
During a counter-attack attempt by Eintracht, Dárdai grabs the shirt of the much faster Bell Bell and rightly receives the first yellow card of the match.
21'
A hint of danger
Sessa has a bit of space in front of him in the centre, makes good ground and slips the ball through to Cuisance, who has made a run on the right just outside the penalty area. However, his shot attempt is blocked for a corner, which comes to nothing.
18'
Room for improvement on corner kicks
Kaufmann wins a corner on the right side against Thorsteinsson. It's whipped in sharply towards the goal. However, Berlin has everything covered and the cross is cleared.
15'
Balanced opening phase
Braunschweig started a bit more actively, but Hertha have managed to pick up the pace quite well. The best opportunity so far fell for Hertha's Sessa.

From distance!
The first clear-cut chance of the match. Sessa receives the ball perfectly laid off in front of the Braunschweig penalty area and simply has a go. Grill flies into the left corner and makes a strong save.
10'
First Berlin approach
Thorsteinsson finds some space on the left flank and cuts into the penalty area. However, he finds himself facing too many opponents and loses the ball quite quickly. The home side need to show more....
7'
Blocked
In front of his own penalty area, Karbownik loses the ball to Tauer. He passes to Gómez, whose shot from 20 metres is blocked by Leistner for a corner. The corner proves harmless, going directly out for a goal kick.
5'
No takers
Tauer sends a high ball into the penalty area but there is no Braunschweig player to be found - ther is just Ernst, who easily plucks the cross out of the air.
3'
Visitors pressing high
Braunschweig are surprisingly active right out of the gate. Berlin's keeper Ernst is put under such pressure when in possession that he has to hoof the ball into touch.
1'
Kick-off!
The ball is rolling in front of a solid crowd at the Olympia Stadion. The home side - playing in blue and white - have kicked off. Braunschweig, dressed entirely in yellow, are the first to chase after the ball.

So much for the "Old Lady"
The Berlin team is playing with their youngest starting XI of the season, with an average age of 24.1 years.
Consistency for the Lions
After the 2-0 victory in the derby against Hannover, Eintracht's starting XI remains unchanged. For the fourth time in the last five matches, there are no changes for Braunschweig
A new face for Berlin
After the 2-2 draw at Schalke, Hertha has only one forced change in the starting lineup, with Michal Karbownik replacing Deyovaisio Zeefuik (suspended due to yellow cards). Karbownik missed the last three matches due to injury, so his recovery comes at the right time.
Braunschweig starting XI
Grill - Jaeckel, Bičakčić, Ehlers - Kaufmann, Tauer, Krauße, Bell Bell - Gómez - Szabó, Philippe
Hertha starting XI
Ernst - Kenny, Leistner, M. Dárdai, Karbownik - Klemens - Cuisance, Sessa, Thorsteinsson - Scherhant, Maza
Daniel Schnerning on Hertha
"We're facing a team that has a squad which belongs at the very top of this league. With all the footballing quality they bring, they also have many attack-minded players on the pitch and we need to control them."
Cristian Fiél on Braunschweig
"Braunschweig won an important match recently. We need to be careful of their counter-attacks, they quickly look for depth. We've talked a lot about this with the lads."
