Not far off
Dárdai flicks on a Cuisance corner at the near post, but Schuler can't tap it in at the far post because Reichert was first to the ball, plucking it out of mid-air.

Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Zoma receives treatment
After a collision with Dárdai, the Nuremberg player holds his shoulder and needs to be treated on the pitch. However, it seems he will be able to continue.
38'
Kownacki sought
Seguin curls a free-kick from the right side into the box, but the ball is a bit too high for the striker, meaning he can't put any power behind the header. His attempt also goes well over.

Visitors improving
After some initial restraint, Nuremberg are now taking a more active part in the match and are venturing out from the back more and more.

Misunderstanding
Nuremberg attack for the first time. Grimaldi tries to serve Zoma with a chip over the Hertha backline, but he wanted the ball to feet and doesn't reach the pass. As such, the chance fizzles out.
10'
Soaking up the pressure
The visitors are sitting quite deep and are trying to survive this period of early pressure from Hertha. Going forward, Klose's team are yet to fashion any chances.

More on that Nuremberg side
Miroslav Klose makes just the one change to the team he fielded in last week's 1-1 draw in Bochum, as Becker plays ahead of Markhiev, who misses out with a yellow card suspension.
More on that Hertha side
Stefan Leitl makes five changes to his side that lost 5-2 in Paderborn last time out. Kolbe, Brekalo, Dudziak, Sessa and Kownacki all get the nod ahead of Leistner, Cuisance, Eitschberger, Winkler and Schuler, who all drop to the bench.
