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.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.
56'
Grönning!
The substitute has invigorated Berlin's attacking play, getting his second shot on goal. His effort from the edge of the penalty area is too weak, however.

Nothing serious
Rohr had his boot taken off in a challenge, but he can continue playing.
51'
Still just glimpses
While Elversberg's Rohr is down on the ground, Cuisance dribbles forward, but then plays a sloppy through ball that rolls out for a goal kick.
48'
Günther!
Second attempt from the attack-minded left-back! This time he receives the ball further inside the penalty area, where his powerful left-footed shot is saved by Ernst - great reaction from the Hertha keeper.
46'
First act
Reese crosses from the left wing and finds the head of substitute Grönning. The striker can't really get enough power behind the ball though, and it goes wide to the right.

Elversberg unchanged
The visitors have come out of the dressing room having made no changes.

Let's continue!
The second half is underway.
46'
Double substitution

Jensen!
After Hertha's second corner from the left, Jensen gets a shot off with his back to the goal. His bicycle kick flies well over the Elversberg goal.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).
39'
Another yellow
Gechter is cautioned for his challenge on the right side of defence. The resulting free kick is once again defended by the Berliners.

The visitors want more

Shot from the centre circle!

21'
Good ball
Leistner goes long and finds Reese's run on the right wing. Hertha's captain at least wins a throw-in there. However, the crowd is still waiting for the home side's first shot on goal.
19'
From the right with the right
Petkov hammers the subsequent free kick from 25 metres just over the Hertha goal.
18'
First yellow card
Jensen chases after a bouncing ball and catches too much of his opponent. Referee Haslberger shows the yellow card.
16'
Beaten early again
Hertha conceded all their goals this season before the 24th minute, but they haven't conceded as early as today in 2025/26. After a quarter of an hour, there are now some discontented whistles from the Berlin crowd.

Clever and robust

Onto the pitch
The teams are entering the pitch in the capital.
Starting opportunity
Younes Ebnoutalib makes his eighth appearance in Bundesliga 2 today and is in the starting lineup for the first time.
Two new players in the starting eleven
The visitors make two changes to the starting line-up compared to the win against Kaiserslautern: Ebnoutalib starts for the first time and replaces Luca Schnellbacher (not in the squad) up front, while Jan Gyamerahnach returns from suspension, with Felix Keidel dropping to the bench.
One change
From their 0-0 draw in Darmstadt, there is only one change for Hertha. Marton Dárdai starts in place of the injured Niklas Kolbe. Dárdai had already come on for Kolbe last week, who had suffered a broken rib.
