Full time: FCN 0-2 Hertha

The Old Lady deservedly wins 2-0 away. The Franconians didn't even manage 1.0 xGoals, meaning they created too few chances. Hertha celebrates their third victory of the season.

Dárdai with the decisive moment

Clearly in front

Scherhant had five shots for Hertha, while Okunuki has the most for FCN with one. Hertha's lead here continues to be deserved.

No luck

Perfect move by FCN: Lubach is sent on his way by Jander, who runs to the byline and lays it off to the unmarked Pick. The ball bounces awkwardly for him before the shot and the finish is rather unlucky.

Reichert keeps FCN alive

Can Hertha still increase their lead?
76'

Crossbar!

Cuisance shoots from distance and hits the crossbar, Reichert wouldn't have been able to reach it.
73'

A quick check

Kenny treads on Castrop's foot in the penalty area, even though the ball was already gone. However, the full-back is judged to have not done this intentionally, so no penalty is awarded.

Justvan takes a shot...

...and it's deflected, resulting in a corner kick.

Flick sees yellow

The centre-back arrives late and steps on a Hertha player's foot.

What a strike!

Again a Nuremberg leg gets in the way of another long-range effort.

Double substitution

Two new offensive players: Pick and Lubach now on for Okunuki and Schleimer.
61'

FCN once again

Justvan drives the ball forward, intending to lay it off to Castrop. However, no one else joins in, causing the attack to fizzle out.
56'

Nearly 2-0!

Maza gets a shot off from a position on the half-turn, but doesn't strike the ball hard enough, turning it into more of a pass for Cuisance, who only needed to tap it in. The Frenchman can't make contact with the ball and Knoche manages to clear it just before the goal line.

Significantly more shots

The visitors have recorded eight shots so far, while the home team has only managed two.

FCN free kick

From the left half-space, Castrop delivers the ball as a cross, but it's significantly overhit, and nothing comes of it.

Quiet restart

The first few minutes of the second half passed without any major incidents or chances. Who will make the first breakthrough?

Half-time: Nuremberg 0-1 Hertha

Deserved lead for the visitors at half-time: Nürnberg creates little going forward, managing only two significant chances. The Franconians need to show more in the second half if they want to take anything from this match.

Castrop's doesn't find its target

Just before half-time, the Franconians surge forward to give it another go, combining more towards the front than before. But Castrop's cross ends up in Ernst's arms.
42'

Injury-forced substitution

It seems Goller has injured himself more severely in the incident with Zeefuik and is being replaced early by Mahir Emreli in the first half.
37'

The visitors take the lead

The club from Berlin leads in Nuremberg. Maza beautifully breaks through on the left side, plays a through ball past three Nuremberg players to the onrushing Scherhant, who keeps his cool in front of Reichert, doesn't strike the ball cleanly but still manages to slide it past him.

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).
Neither of the two teams has accumulated an expected goal overall, yet both sides have had a similar number of half-chances.

The Dutchman sees yellow for that in midfield.

Cuisance!

The Frenchman takes a relatively free shot from about 15 metres out, Reichert saves but can't quite hold onto it. Knoche clears afterwards.

The final pass

Both teams are still lacking any truly compelling chances, it's usually the final pass that doesn't find its man. Will there be a goal in the first half?
