On Sunday, Hertha BSC and Borussia Dortmund faced off in what was expected to be a high-stakes match-up between two of the top teams in Germany's Bundesliga. However, the game ended in a draw, with neither team able to secure all three points.
The match began with both sides looking to establish their dominance early on, but it was Hertha who had the first real chance of the game. In the 24th minute, Hertha's midfielder, Julian Draxler, made a strong run down the left wing before crossing the ball into the box for fellow midfielder, André Schürrle, to head home from close range. However, the goal was ruled out for offside, meaning that the opening goal fell to Hertha.
Borussia Dortmund then took control of the match after the restart, creating several chances to score. The visitors' most dangerous moment came in the 66th minute when Erling Haaland scored from the penalty spot following a handball by Hertha defender, Jurianna. However, Hertha were not to be denied as they managed to level the scores just moments later through a well-taken penalty kick from striker, Timo Werner.
Despite the deadlock, neither side could find the breakthrough in the remaining minutes of the match, leaving them with a shared point at the end of ninety minutes. Both teams will now look to bounce back in their next fixtures, hoping to take advantage of any potential slip-ups by their opponents.
