The Berlin back team, however, hardly ever gets any relief. Hamburg has established itself at the front, a cross from Reis from the right corner of the sixteen flies dangerously with a train to the five, where Glatzel, among others, is waiting. Keeper Ernst keeps his nerve, comes out and grabs safely, plucking the flank out of the air.
33.
21:05
Again standard specialist Bénes takes the corner kick from the right, but this time the defense heads the ball out of harm’s way.
32.
21:04
The Slovak brings this flat on the short post. Jatta cannot control the ball there, but she flies in front of Muheim’s feet in the half-right backcourt. Again, the midfielder fires the ball as if pulled by a string at Ernst’s box, who lengthens and then fishes the shot from the left corner. This time it was even the “weaker” right of Hamburg’s number 28.
32.
21:02
Maybe something goes over a corner. László Bénes is ready.
30.
21:01
Not at first. It only takes a few seconds before the guests’ attempts to build up are stopped and the game equipment is in the opponent’s ranks.
29.
21:00
But now: Can Berlin now free itself from the grip?
28.
20:59
A cross and offside position later, the next interruption follows: drinking break.
27.
20:59
Even after this interruption, HSV remains on the trigger.
26.
20:56
So, now hopefully some football will be played again. Hertha can thank the VAR for not being behind here yet. So everything is probably correct. Still 0-0, everything open.
24.
20:55
After several minutes of video control and Referee Willenborg looking at the pictures himself, the decision is made: The foul was preceded by a handball by Bénes, which is why the penalty kick was withdrawn.
23.
20:52
The referee’s decision is still controlled.
20.
20:50
Penalty for Hamburg! The events come thick and fast. Glatzel goes to the ball just behind the edge of the penalty area and is hit by Leistner from behind on the calf. However, it is questionable whether he defender did not play the ball.
18.
20:49
VAR decision: The goal by R. Glatzel (Hamburger SV) is disallowed, score: 0-0
At first the jubilation is great – and it lasts for a few minutes, because nobody expected a withdrawal. After a standard situation, Hertha does not get the leather cleared. Half right in the penalty area it flies to Meffert, who starts to kick. The artistic shot hits the crossbar and jumps from there at the feet of top scorer Glatzel. He just has to slide it in with his left hand. A few minutes later, the announcement comes from the VAR basement in Cologne: The goal was based on an offside position.

20:47
Yellow card for Jeremy Dudziak (Hertha BSC)
Jeremy Dudziak stops a Hamburg attack on the left in central midfield and is cautioned for it. The card is overdrawn in this situation.
15.
20:47
Gechter blunders! In the build-up game, the young Gechter frittered away the ball on the left flank against the attentive Jatta. He enters the penalty area from the right. But before he can finish, the defender is back on the spot and cleans up his mistake with a nice sliding tackle.
14.
20:46
The second approach from Hamburg comes from the second row. Miro Muheim proves his left glue from a half-left and a good 25 meters. The powerful conclusion rushes just over the bar. Hertha guard Ernst would have been there.
13.
20:44
The tactical picture is unchanged. The capitals retreat to the center line, wanting to reduce the space in the opponent’s offensive to a minimum.
12.
20:43
The course of the game so far is probably well described with the term “cheerful scanning”. The numerous supporters of the red trousers ensure a first-class atmosphere.
10.
20:42
On the left side, Jeremy Dudziak prevailed in this action against two defenders and puts it back to the sixteen to Fabian Reese in front of the baseline. He wants to take the short pass directly with the right, but warps clearly and the leather flies in the direction of the right side.
8.
20:39
The first murmur goes through the Volksparkstadion, but it wasn’t even remotely dangerous when HSV finished for the first time. Jean-Luc Dompé pulls in from the left wing and finally closes from the inside left position and a little over 20 meters. The tight shot from the right rushes far too high and clearly past the goal on the right.
6.
20:37
Berlin is initially focused on being secure at the back and wants to become dangerous with fast counterattacks going forward. The Walter squad, on the other hand, is playing its own game from behind at the moment,
4.
20:36
The hosts initially have more possession of the ball. This time, however, Hertha is again causing a stir in front of the box. On the left, Tabakovic goes into a running duel with Hadžikadunić. With a perfectly timed tackle, the defender stops the attack and fairly steals the ball from the Swiss striker.
3.
20:34
Things really get going in the third minute. The two captains Reis and Richter fought a hard duel on the left flank of the Hamburg team, which the former won.
1.
20:32
In the first attack it gets messy in the Hamburg penalty area, but neither Richter nor Tabakovic can control the ball and so the defense can intervene and clarify.
1.
20:31
The Berlin sports club, dressed all in blue, toasts. The HSV holds against it in the usual colors white, red and blue.

20:30
It goes into the first round! Referee Frank Willenborg releases the game.

game start
20:29
The teams form circles again and swear in, then the actors greet the fans. It can start right away!
20:20
The conditions point to a gripping debate. How will the reunion after this last emotional encounter in the Volksparkstadion be? It will be interesting to see how this encounter will go!
20:17
The eternal record of these two traditional clubs is extremely balanced: A total of 84 matches include 35 Hamburg and 36 Berlin victories.
20:13
Coach Pal Dárdai doesn’t seem to mind, so he says he doesn’t feel any pressure. The confident 5-0 win against Carl Zeiss Jena in the DFB Cup provided some relief. Now it should work with scoring goals and points in the league. The Hungarian trainer stressed that effectiveness will be key. The offensive consistency that his team showed there should also be brought to the pitch today.
20:08
After an extremely sobering and weak relegation season, the old lady had certainly imagined the start of the second division quite differently. After playing two games, she is still waiting for the first point and the first goal. The 1-0 defeat in Düsseldorf in the first game was followed by the same result. This time in the Olympic Stadium at home against promoted Wehen Wiesbaden, who scored the winning goal in the 92nd minute. That should also be very painful for a coach.
20:05
After the furious 5:3 win at the start of the league against Schalke, HSV had to swallow a bitter pill on the 2nd matchday: In the fifth minute of added time, KSC scored the 2:2 equalizer. Losing a point like that hurts. The aspirant for promotion was also shockingly weak in the cup and lost three tours. The red trousers were more or less invited to their own goals. In the end, László Bénes saved the boys from the Elbe in the 117th minute.
19:58
At the Berliner Sport-Club, coach Dárdai feels compelled to make a change. Linus Gechter rotates in the starting XI for Suat Serdar and will start in the central defender position. In return, Márton Dárdai moves up one position to the double six.
19:51
Let’s take a look at the lineups of the two teams. Coach Walter has made three adjustments for the hosts compared to the narrow 4-3 victory aet over Rot-Weiss Essen in the DFB Cup. Heuer Fernandes is back between the posts for cup keeper Raab and Meffert and captain Reis, who is ready to play again after a shoulder problem, move into the starting line-up (all three benches) in the three-man midfield.
19:41
“It’s all over long ago,” HSV coach Tim Walter had to emphatically emphasize at the press conference before the match. This was preceded by the question of the relegation for the last free Bundesliga place last year and whether there would still be after-effects. After Hamburg won the first leg in the capital last May 1-0 and set the course for the long-awaited resurgence, the disappointment of the North Germans was all the greater in the end. With a 2-0 away win at the Volksparkstadion, Hertha took away all hope of promotion and premature happiness. Today they face each other again in the 2nd division in their 85th meeting.
19:27
Hello and welcome to the 2nd Bundesliga this Saturday evening! A real classic awaits us in the top game of the 3rd game day – only that it has never existed in this league before: Hamburger SV has the old lady from Berlin as a guest in the Volksparkstadion. The match kicks off at 8:30 p.m.
