The substitute's late penalty has earned Union victory in the first-ever Bundesliga derby between the two sides. It was a tight and nervy affair with an incredible atmosphere throughout, and it ended with one moment from the spot via Polter. None of the home fans are going home yet as they continue to party here in the German capital.

Defence is winning the derby so far here, and it looks life if we're going to see a winner it will be the only goal of the game. A moment of magic or mistake? 

The game is back underway after a six-minute break.

Referee Deniz Aytekin has sent both sets of players into their changing rooms.

Play has stopped here in Berlin with the away fans' support going slightly over the top with pyrotechnics forcing the players off the pitch.

The second half begins with a change for either side, Joshua Mees coming on for Marius Bülter and Eduard Löwen replacing Per Skjelbred.

While the atmosphere in the stands has been non-stop, both teams have struggled to stamp their authority on the game on the pitch. Christopher Lenz came within inches of giving us the most remarkable start as he hit the post inside the opening three minutes, but chances have been few and far between since then.

Hertha have been the better side in the last 10 minutes or so, with Union rarely breaking out of their own half with the ball. Can the away side make the most of their pressure before the break?

The home side are enjoying 61 per cent of the possession so far and have had the better of the chances on goal, with Lenz finding the post early on. However, neither side has been able to find real space through the other's defence in this first half here.

Here we go, the talking is over as Union and Hertha get things underway.

The players are out on the pitch in what is a truly magnificent atmosphere in the German capital.

The atmisphere is going to be incredible in Berlin tonight in a totally sold out stadium. Despite there being only 22,000 fans able to get into the ground, you can expect no lack of noise throughout the 90 minutes as we've already seen in the build-up to this game with both sets of fans singing loud and proud.

For the first time this season, Hertha have Ibisevic, Lukebakio and Dilrosun all starting in a Bundesliga game. With pace, precision and experience they can cause any defence any number of problems and will look to do that today. However, the smaller pitch here at Union will be a different world to that of the Olympiastadion that Hertha call home.

Three goals apiece for the Union pair this season and they will be key to the home side getting a victory today. Neven Subotic also starts in the centre of a three-man defence for the home side, bringing experience with him which will be vital in this highly-emotional game.

This evening the Bundesliga will lay witness to just the fifth match between two Berlin-based clubs and the first-ever between Union Berlin and Hertha Berlin. To say this game is going to be special is a huge understatement and both sets of players and fans are ready to give everything tonight.

Over an hour before kick-off and the home fans are packed into the Stadion An der Alten Försterei here in Berlin for the first-ever Berlin derby in the Bundesliga between these two sides.
