The decisive moment!
Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal

Sensational Reimann!
The Magdeburg keeper has surely secured the victory here! Gechter has another chance as he shoots from about twelve metres out, but once again the Magdeburg keeper claws the ball away with a sensational reflex save!

Is there still a chance?
Half of the stoppage time is already over as Hertha continue to throw everything forward, directing a flurry of long balls into the box.

Double chance!
Hertha push forward and Gechter gets off a header from close range. However, he is first denied by the excellent Reimann and then by the post!

Stoppage time is underway
There are nine minutes more to be played - more than enough time for Hertha to get back onto level terms.

Close again!
Gnaka wins the ball and another counter-attack is on. He passes to Ulrich, but he is blocked by the last Hertha defender in the penalty area as he attempts to shoot.
86'
Almost the decisive moment!
Breunig holds the ball up and lays it off to Stalmach, who dribbles into the penalty area and tries to curl one into the corner. His attempt, though, bounces back off the right post!
82'
Final substitutions
Magdeburg also bring on fresh legs in Hercher and Stalmach. That means there will be no more changes in before full-time.

After a long ball into the final third, the striker is through, but Musonda does enough to prevent him from getting a dangerous attempt off.

Zukowski tests Ernst
Following a cross from the left, the Pole rises highest and heads the ball towards the corner. In the nick of time, the Hertha keeper manages to claw the ball away!

Brilliant long-range shot!
Now Hertha also make their presence felt. Cuisance shoots from distance, and it only just swerves past the post!
52'
Another shot!
Atik slips the ball through to Michel, who has a go from about 25 yards out. It's actually the first shot on target of the game, and Ernst needs to stretch to make the save!

Will Magdeburg take advantage?
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).

That should have gone in!
Michel has some space on the left and delivers a perfect cross into the middle to Zukowski. He stretches a leg out, but can only get a toe to the ball, meaning it trickles harmlessly past the post.

We're back underway!
Both teams are back on the pitch unchanged as Hertha kick us off.

Reese!
Now Hertha threaten. Zeefuik plays the ball into the Hertha captain, who sticks his toe out in the six-yard box and tries to direct the ball towards goal. However, Reimann is alert and makes the save.

Striving for control
Hertha are now trying to take the initiative again and are keeping the ball within their own ranks.

Poor
Very little is working for Hertha in the past few minutes. Winkler's attempted cross emphasises that; instead of sailing into the penalty area, the ball lands on the running track behind the goal.

Musonda wins the ball high up the pitch, and his perfect cross finds Pesch in front of goal. However, his diving header goes wide.

Narrowly missed
A long free-kick is played into the visitors' penalty area. Kownacki is completely unmarked near the penalty spot, but can't quite reach it with his head.

Down the left, Pesch clatters into Karbownik recklessly, for which he receives the first card of the match.
