But Hertha struck back. Dodi Lukébakio scored the ball after a throw-in with the help of an implied throw-the 1: 2 (54.), then made the substitute Salomon Kalou for compensation (69). Because TSG defender Benjamin Hübner was not decisively disturbed at a corner (79.), the Hertha lost in the end nonetheless - and had to let Hoffenheim (tenth place) pass in the table.
