So, we said goodbye with the victory by the minimum of the Rhenish team thanks to the goal achieved by Emre Can in the second period. We hope you have enjoyed. It has been a pleasure. We wait for you in future broadcasts. Until then, receive a cordial solute.
After remaining undefeated in his first four games, Bruno Labbadia records his first loss as coach of Hertha Berlin and the truth is that today his team has lost face. It is true that he has not been able to generate too many opportunities, but he has shown signs of having put together a tremendously compact and difficult to beat block for any rival.
Dortmund take a giant step to secure second place in the Bundesliga after the punctures on this day of Leipzig and Borussia M'gladbach. He continues to seven points from Bayern Munich, but the truth is that the option of being able to aspire to the title seems certainly remote with only four days of championship to play.
IT'S OVER !!! There is no more time. Borussia Dortmund take three vitally important points after a hard-fought victory against an orderly and solid Hertha on the defensive plane.
We already know what will be added in this meeting. They will play three more minutes …
READY TO MARK JADON SANCHO !!! He did everything right, but the truth is that Rune Jarstein took an incredible ball to avoid the final sentence of Dortmund.
Follow the change carousel. Arne Maier and Lazar Samardzic will enjoy the last minutes and Alexander Esswein and Marko Grujic have left.
It gives the feeling of the two teams beginning to consider the result good. Many inaccuracies now in the passes on the part of both contenders, which is causing that the party is a little lackluster in this epilogue.
Hertha have added 10 points out of 12 possible in their four Bundesliga games with Bruno Labbadia, with an overall score of 11-2 (also three games without conceding a goal).
The Berlin team tried for a few minutes, but he sees his time running out and he finds himself with fewer and fewer options to get something positive out of Signal Iduna Park.
Lucien Favre makes a double change. Remove Thorgan Hazard and Axel Witsel. Matue Morey and Leonardo Balerdi enter the game box.
Krzysztof Piatek has just received the first yellow card of the match. Of course, it is being a white glove match.
Now the rain is getting worse on the Dortmund pitch. Heavy storm to go through water this end of the game.
Hertha is gaining meters looking for the equalizer in this final stretch of the match. Now Vladimir Darida was wrong in the pass, spoiling another good option of having been able to create danger on the goal of the Rhenish team.
Very clever now Jessic Ngankam. He was forced, but managed to cause a foul by Thorgan Hazard in a tremendously dangerous position.
Lucien Favre makes his first move. Julian Brandt leaves the game box and has been replaced by Giovanni Reyna.
Today was Emre Can's second goal in the league competition this season. The other did it against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
The Berlin team makes its third substitution. Krzysztof Piatek entered the field of play and it was Per Skjelbred who left the bench.
Well, the arrival of the first local goal requires a script change to a Hertha who was trusting everything to not concede goals. In fact, Bruno Labbadia is already preparing to put more bite on his team now that he travels behind in the simultaneous.
A Dortmund was seen with more offensive clairvoyance in this second act. Jadon Sancho was throwing the team behind him and was beginning to arrive more fluently at the rival goal. With these lines and the quality of the local attackers, the goal was only a matter of time despite the solid defense match that Hertha is completing.
DORTMUND GOOOOL !!! GOOOOL FROM EMRE CAN !!! A tremendous collective move by Lucien Favre's painting. Sancho plays inside the area, Julian Brandt makes a magnificent assist to Emre Can and this, in the first shot on goal of his team, manages to put the ball away from the domain of Rune Jarstein.
Much more attractive this second period !!! Give and take now between the two teams. Great counterattack by the Berlin team, which ended with a dangerous shot by Alexander Esswein. The ball went past the post of Roman Burki's goal.
Achraf Hakimi !!! From outside the area, the Moroccan looking for the long pole. The yellow team is still trying, but without finishing finishing between the three posts of the rival goal.
Sancho has had it !!! The clearest of the party !!! Great pass by Achraf Hakimi, the ball wanders through the area and reaches Thorgan Hazard, who leaves it behind Jadon Sancho and, with everything in favor, ends up sending the ball out, slightly deflected.
There was no understanding in the Hertha attack now. Vladimir Darida was wrong on the last pass and that prevented the auction option from coming.
Bruno Labbadia has taken advantage of the break to introduce a second change in his team. Dodi Lukebakio has left and Jessica Ngankam has entered his place.
The game is resumed on the Borussia Dortmund pitch. At the moment the locals cannot face an orderly Hertha Berlin.
Much will have to improve the team of Lucien Favre to dislodge a Hertha Berlin that proves to be an exceptionally worked team on the defensive plane. It is true that Bayern Munich have won, but the yellow team cannot currently take advantage of the punctures from Leipzig and Borussia M'gladbach on this 30th day of the Bundesliga.
The first period ends with the initial result. A goalless draw at Signal Iduna Park in a game in which Dortmund has dominated, but has lacked imagination in attack and has not been able to score many goalscoring opportunities. In fact, he has not been able to finish on goal in these first forty-five minutes.
Dortmund is carrying the weight of the game, but he does not finish finding the tools with which to harm Hertha. The first period is already dying and the locals continue without having finished between the three posts of the rival goal.
Every time Achraf Hakimi receives a ball in a right hand ball, the match is accelerated. The Moroccan winger is in danger in most of the interventions, although he is missing an auction today in the Dortmund box, undoubtedly missing the Haaland reference.
Raphael Guerreiro went for a direct free kick instead of putting a cross into the box. It was a lateral foul and his shot went over the crossbar of the goal defended by Jarstein.
Except for a few dropper arrivals of the yellow team, the truth is that Hertha is living quite calmly in these first forty-five minutes. As we said, well planted on the field of play and with the lines close together, it is hardly being demanded by the local attackers.
Vladimir Darida tried it from afar. Zapatazo from outside the area with which he tried to surprise the Dortmund goal, but Roman Burki ended up saving the ball well.
Bruno Labbadia has been forced to make his first change after half an hour of play. Due to injury. Javairo Dilrosun leaves the field of play and Alexander Esswein enters.
Dodi Lukebakio finished in a very forced position. His launch had no complications for Roman Burki. Of the few arrivals that have been seen by the Berlin set.
The players from Dortmund begin to arrive with more fluidity !!! It has now been Julian Brandt who shot from the front of the area, was looking for the squad, but his launch did not find the goal defended by Rune Jarstein.
Thorgan Hazard was not successful in the shot !!! He found a free ball inside the area, but hit him with the outside, very deviant.
Huge ride by Jadon Sancho on the left wing. He left several rivals, although the play finally died without consequences.
Bruno Labbadia's team is very clear that it must be Dortmund who takes any risk in this match. He has given possession of the ball and waits for some isolated option to arrive. Of course, everything happens because the Old Lady keeps her goal unbeaten.
The first fifteen minutes of the game are over and we are hardly seeing goal opportunities. No shot between the posts of any of the goals and we only counted that of Achraf Hakimi who crashed into the side of the net.
A lot of possession for the pupils of Lucien Favre in this first section of the game, although the truth is that he is having trouble finding spaces before an orderly Hertha, with the lines very close and well planted on the grass of Signal Iduna Park.
It took us just eight minutes to see Achraf Hakimi's first arrival with a lot of danger on the left wing. The side on loan from Real Madrid, however, ran out of space and ended up shooting against the side of the net.
Much struggle in the midfield of the field in these early stages of the game. This causes the possessions to be short-lived in the two contenders.
They have a really complicated title, but losing today will be an impossible undertaking for Dortmund, which is ten points behind Bayern Munich. Recall that the Bavarians won this afternoon 2-4 on the ground of Bayer Leverkusen.
It doesn't look like it will be a comfortable match for Dortmund. And it is that Hertha has not lost in six consecutive matches in the Bundesliga for the first time since the turn of the year in 2015/16 (3V 3E) and has scored 16 goals in them – one more than in their previous 16 matches in the competition together (15).
The ball is already rolling at Signal Iduna Park. The capital set has put the ball into play.
Recall that in Dortmund, Lucien Favre cannot count on Erling Haaland for this match, injured since his team's minimum loss against Bayern Munich.
The eleven chosen by Bruno Labbadia are: Jarstein, Pekarik, Boyata, Torunarigha, Mittelstädt; Lukebakio, Grujic, Darida, Skjelbred, Dilrosun and Ibisevic.
Dortmund put the next starting eleven into the fray today: Burki; Piszczek, Emre Can, Akanji; Achraf, Witsel, Delaney, Guerreiro; Sancho, Hazard and Brandt.
Good afternoon and welcome to the last Saturday match in the Bundesliga. A clash in which Borussia Dortmund will try to keep their second place against an opponent that reaches the rise. The Yellows have lost Haaland to injury, but Sancho's hat-trick over the past weekend shows just how talented this team's attack is. Those of Lucien Favre will face a Hertha who arrives with confidence. In fact, it is one of the teams that did well with the break. The capitals have added 10 points from the 12 that have been disputed after the resumption of the championship, giving up only two points at home to RB Leipzig. We must not forget that we are talking about a team that only won two of its ten matches before the pandemic stopped everything completely.
