Double chance for VfL!
First, Ernst prevents Passlack from adding a fourth, and then Bero shoots wide of the left post unmarked. That should have been 4-2! In the end, it doesn't matter because the final whistle blows right after!

Horn prevents the equaliser!
Demme delivers the free kick to the far post. Gechter wins the aerial duel, but Horn manages to save his attempt from close range. Brilliant work from the keeper.
87'
Promising free-kick position
Another Berlin player goes down on the edge of the penalty area. This time, it's Krattenmacher, who is fouled by Wittek, and this is in a good position.

Leistner throws himself in the way
Bochum counter-attack through the substitute Alfa-Ruprecht, who gets a shot off at the edge of the penalty area. Leistner blocks it at the expense of a corner.

Collision
Thorsteinsson looks for Grönning with a low cross. Horn gets to the ball before the striker, but takes a hard hit in the process, leading to some disagreement between both sets of players. The referee has a word before restarting play.

Morgalla takes too much time for a throw-in and gets booked.

VfL with a chance
Suddenly, Holtmann is completely unmarked on the left side of the visitors' penalty area, but he hurries his effort and misses the target.

Painful
Morgalla initially stays down on the pitch after a collision with Eichhorn, but after a brief treatment break, he continues playing.

Half-time

Hertha pushing for a goal back
Horn has had plenty to do in this half, but nothing that has been too testing. This time, he is able to deny Winkler twice to keep the score at 2-0.
45'

Stoppage time
Two minutes of additional time.
45'
Grönning scores, but he's offside
Hertha have the ball in the net, but it won't count. Grönning runs from the halfway line towards Horn and stays cool in front of the Bochum goalkeeper to chip his shot home. However, he was clearly offside beforehand, so the goal doesn't count.
44'
That was close!
Bochum fail to clear the ball after a corner, allowing Karbownik the chance to shoot from the edge of the area, but his effort hits the side netting.
39'
Next Bochum counter-attack
Hertha are also struggling defensively. Next VfL counter-attack - next shot. Wittek runs down the left wing and finds Hofmann in the centre. The striker shields the ball and then lays it back to Onyeka. His shot from the edge of the penalty area goes over the bar. Nevertheless, the Berliners are making it too easy for VfL.
37'
Hertha making too little of their opportunities
And again the Berliners have space - and again they don't use it. Thorsteinsson has room on the right wing, but for some reason, he slows down, allowing Morgalla to close the gap. In the end, it results in a harmless cross that Horn safely intercepts.
35'
That could have been more
Now Reese sets off on a journey down the left wing, but his low cross doesn't reach Grönning in the centre.
Onyeka makes it two!

30'
The visitors are trying to find a way back into the game
Seguin crosses from the half-space and finds Gechter in the penalty area, who is standing quite free at the far post. However, his lay-off doesn't find a teammate. The Berliners are visibly making an effort, but they are struggling to get shots on goal.
26'
Over!
Reese strikes the ball with great power towards the goalkeeper's corner. Horn stretches, but the ball goes about half a metre wide of the top corner.
25'
Excellent free-kick opportunity
Bero fouls Grönning just centimetres in front of the penalty area. Perfect position for the Berliners from a central position.

No new record
That is the first goal that Hertha have conceded away from home for 349 minutes. Hertha could have kept four consecutive away clean sheets for the first time in 58 years of professional football, but that won't be the case.

Jöllenbeck wants to have a word
Bero brings down Karbownik in midfield. That was close to a tactical foul, but the referee still keeps it at a verbal warning.

Kick-off!
Goal machine Hofmann
The Bochum striker has scored 73 goals in Bundesliga 2 - as many as all the players in Hertha's starting eleven today combined.
More on that Hertha side
Stefan Leitl cannot field an identical team from the last match in which his side claimed victory, as Cuisance and Zeefuik are both out. It's Karbownik and Seguin who play instead of them. Demme and Kolbe - two players previously suffering long-term injuries - are sitting on the bench.
More on that Bochum side
New VfL coach, Uwe Rösler, brings in Strompf, Onyeka, Wätjen and Pannewig for Lenz (suspended), Koscierski, Loosli and Clairicia (all on the bench).
