DRAW A FAIR RESULT?
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).

SCHADE EQUALISES!
It's not Petersen who's done the job off the bench but Kevin Schade! Christensen comes for a fumbles a free-kick into the box, dropping it right at the feet of the Freiburg youngster who makes no mistake, slotting the ball between some legs to bring us all square again.

500 UP FOR FREIBURG
But not really a stat they want. They've now conceded 500 times in the Bundesliga under Christian Streich. But it's not a bad stat considering he's been in charge very nearly 11 years.

Jovetic goes for a 40-yeard lob with Flekken off his line, but it's well off target.

A rash lunge from the English defender as he catches Grifo and immediately holds his hand up to accept his fate.

WILD FROM TOUSART
The Hertha midfielder sees his name up in lights from the right of centre 20 yards out. It's well, well over and into the Olympiastadion terraces.

HALF-TIME!
A very good first half to watch at the Olympiastadion. It's been energetic throughout as Freiburg first took the lead before a Lukebakio penalty brought things level again. Much more of that after the break please!

SUNJIC!
The midfielder gets himself into the box and on the end of a chipped ball over the top. He's on the stretch but gets his head to it. Flekken is scrambling but able to watch it fly over his crossbar.

OVER FROM GRIFO
Big build-up as Grifo and Günter stand over a free-kick 20 yards out. It's the former who takes but bends it well over the bar. The home crowd cheers as the Freiburg man rubs his face in disappointment.

DOUBLE DODI
Lukebakio has now netted four times this season, doubling his tally from the whole of 2021/22. His penalty was also the first goal Hertha have scored from a set piece, while it was also the first Freiburg had conceded.

HERTHA BREAK...
It's a rapid counter from the hosts through Ejuke down the right, but he can't quite wrap his foot around the ball as the angle narrows and he hits the side netting.

KYEREH WITH THE BREAKTHROUGH!
Two summer signings combine as Doan takes down a long ball into the box with his chest, twists this way and that to deceive the Hertha defence before squaring for Kyereh arriving around the penalty spot and he slots through a couple of bodies to give the - as it stands - Bundesliga leaders the lead with his third goal in as many games.

TOO MUCH FROM DODI
The Belgian tries to go it along down the right. Jovetic had pulled away in the middle but Lukebakio chooses not to use him and is soon crowded out on the right of the box.

First official effort from the visitors as Gregoritsch meets a cross from the left but he heads over.

DANGER FROM FREIBURG!
A long ball over the top finds Kyereh in behind and he knocks it past the out-rushing Christensen. He's forced wide so opts to cross instead of go for goal, but Gregoritsch can only find the side netting at the far post. It all may have been for nothing anyway with Kyereh probably offside.

FREIBURG TEAM NEWS
If it ain't broken... Freiburg start with the same XI for the sixth fixture in a row after Michael Gregoritsch recovered from the bruised pelvis that forced him off in the first half against Nantes on Thursday. However, coach Christian Streich is missing today as he remains in isolation. Assistant Lars Voßler will be in charge of things on the touchline - the third time he's deputised for Streich in a Bundesliga game.
HERTHA TEAM NEWS
Coach Sandro Schwarz makes two changes to his side from last weekend's 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim as the Berliners go in search of a first home win of the season. Augustin Rogel makes his first start with Filip Uremovic injured, while Stevan Jovetic gets the nod over Wilfried Kanga in the usually settled front three.

BIG GAME AHEAD !
