Before the teams lined up for the minute of silence held in all stadiums on this matchday for the victims of the coronavirus pandemic, the Hertha anthem "Just Home" by Schlager bard Frank Zander sounded as usual in the practically empty huge concrete bowl. This time, however, the recording was questionable. The crackling and croaking from the speakers was a symbol for an initial phase with football obstacles.

Hertha BSC - 1. FC Union: Lukebakio without restrictions

Before the kick-off, Labbadia had called for “energy” to come into play at Amazon Prime . The will to do so was clearly recognizable. But, as predicted by the Hertha coach, Union also practiced the robust defensive stance inherent in the Köpenickers with very little scope for the opponent in the derby highlight - but not later.

Vladimir Darida , who returned as the only starting eleven variant after his suspension, tried to push ahead with the necessary impulses at Hertha headquarters. However, much remained piecemeal at first. So Lukebakio (20th) ran completely unchecked with the ball into the side.

Shortly before, the Belgian had failed in one of the few promising actions with a low shot at Union goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz . The Pole was also in the right place with a fine hoe trick by Matheus Cunha (27.) after the most worth seeing Hertha combination via Ibisevic and Lukebakio. The only dangerous goal action by the Iron was a free kick by Robert Andrich (44.) just before the half-time break just over the goal.

After the change of sides, the Hertha had ten minutes of momentum to show the rivals the limits. Ibisevic headed unopposed after a cross from Marvin Plattenhardt . Seconds later, Ibisevic sent Lukebakio freely towards the gate. Matheus Cunha had initiated his hit himself with a fine dribbling. Boyata brought the end point - in the first leg he had caused the ultimate penalty for Union.
