Season record and yet goalless
Hertha have registered 22 shots on goal for Hertha - their biggest tally this season- and yet the scoreboard shows nil.

Hard to believe
Reese plays the ball to Brekalo in the penalty area, who goes to the left edge of the six-yard box and curls the ball high to the right. At the far post, Winkler is completely unmarked, but heads the ball wide of the right post from five yards out.
87'
Kiel making offensive substitutions
There are two like-for-like changes made as Müller and Niehoff are introduced late on here.

Blocked
Reese tees up Brekalo - but a Kiel player blocks his shot.

Another free-kick
Meffert brings down Cuisance just outside the penalty area. This is a good position for Hertha.
81'
Into the wall
Michaël Cuisance hammers a free-kick into the wall. This leads to a counter-attack from Kiel - and after a blocked shot from Jonas Therkelsen, the Storks are awarded a corner.
80'
Yellow card for Nekic
The Kiel man is penalised for a foul just outside the penalty area. It's his fifth, so he'll miss next week.

Yellow card for Reese
The Berlin captain brings down his opponent in a challenge at the halfway line.
74'
Missed again
Berlin simply cannot find the target. This time, Cuisance delivers the cross from the left. At the far post, Gechter is completely unmarked for the header from six metres out - but he puts the ball narrowly wide of the right post.
71'
Still no reply
A Hertha Free-kick from the left is aimed towards the penalty spot. Dardai runs in and heads towards goal, but it's straight at Weiner, who is able to save. Had it gone in, it wouldn't have counted anyway as the flag was raised for offside.
69'
Way too high
Reese tries from distance, but he doesn't strike the ball properly and blasts it well over the crossbar.

Substitution
66'
Out of nowhere
The opening goal was only Kiel's second shot on target this match. A few weeks ago, the Storks would likely have been trailing by now, but they're on a good run. A few offsides have gone in their favour and now they've taken their first real chance.

Whisker away
It couldn't get much closer. Karbownik drives from the left to the edge of the penalty area, where he plays a through ball into the box to Schuler - who slots the ball with his left foot from around the six-yard line, level with the left post, past Weiner. But the ball rolls just a whisker wide of the right post.
55'
More open game
The visitors from the north are now playing confidently in the capital. Where everything was going in only one direction before the break, Kiel are now making the match significantly more open and are increasingly playing forward.
49'
Storks offering more
The visitors win the ball back early ball before moving up the pitch quickly and firing a cross in, which takes a deflection behind for another corner.
46'
First corner
Kiel get their first corner of the match. Kaprálik's cross from the right deflects off a Hertha player. This means they're already more active after 40 seconds than they were in the entire first half. However, the corner comes to nothing.
46'
Back underway
The ball is rolling again for the second half here in the capital. There's one change for the visitors at half-time, as Therkelsen replaces Ugoh on the left flank.

Quickfire yellows
Meffert holds his opponent and is shown a yellow card. Tempers flare in the meantime, however, and Seguin pushes him over. The Hertha also sees yellow, meaning he will be suspended next week.

Wide again
Michaël Cuisance plays a fine pass to the right side of the penalty area to Brekalo. He shoots from a tight angle but pulls the ball wide of the left post.

Huge chance!
Michaël Cuisance goes down the right flank and chips the ball into the middle. At the six-yard box, a Kiel player flicks it on to the far corner. Reese is there, taking on a low volley, but Timon Weiner closes his legs and manages to save it.
37'
Another cross
It's Reese again who whips in a dangerous ball. But Brekalo and Schuler can't quite reach it.
34'
Feisty Berliners
The hosts are proving tenacious in their duels. This is especially true for Michal Karbownik, who has won all seven of his challenges so far.
28'
Toothless Storks
Last week against Kaiserslautern, Kiel led 3-0 at half-time, but today the Storks are yet to register a single shot on goal.
27'
Shot blocked
Reese dribbles into the penalty area and shoots, but his effort is blocked. Seconds later, however, he whips the ball in from the left wing into the six-yard box. Schuler is there, but he can't make a convincing enough contact on the ball with his head, sending it wide of the right post.
24'
Easy take
Reese shows great skill on the left with his dribbling, then crosses from almost the byline. The cross, however, poses no problem for Timon Weiner.
18'
Rosenboom sees yellow
Now, it's a Kiel player's turn to have their name taken for a late challenge.

0:27
Good effort

Close!
Seguin curls the ball from the left edge of the penalty area towards the far corner. The ball keeps drifting and becomes difficult for Timon Weiner to judge, but it narrowly misses the top corner.
10'
Another early yellow
Zeefuik arrives late into a challenge on Meffert at the halfway line, stepping on his foot - an action for which the full-back receives a caution.
8'
Kiel pressing
The visitors are pressing high up the pitch, looking to win the ball near the Berlin penalty area. To counter this, Hertha are frequently looking to launch a break with quick balls forward.

Early booking
Cuisance sees yellow for a late sliding challenge on Umut Tohumcu.
