Zidan
played a full match against Hertha BSC. The game ended
in a boring 0-0 draw. HSV controlled the most of gameplay
and had a golden chance to win as Demel was awarded
a penalty kick in the 2nd half but Olic missed the target
from spot and squandered the big chance. Zidan played
an OK game and provided a great key pass to Ben Hatira
in the first half.

Zidan started for the first time in a
row for HSV. This time he played a full match against
Hertha BSC. HSV had some key players missing like Atouba,
Van der Vaart and Kompany while Olic returned to action
after recovering from injury.
Olic and Zidan played from the start while
Guerrero started the game on bench and came on to replace
Olic in the 2nd half.
The game started with pressure from HSV
and Zidan blasted a shot over the bar from inside the
box in the 2nd minute. A minute later, Olic took advantage
of a bad back pass and advanced on keeper but his shot
from narrow angle hit the side netting.
The match was generally boring and passing
has been too poor from both sides. Zidan had no clear
role on the field and sometimes he appeared on the left
wing but later he moved to the right.
Zidan wasn't in the centre of attention
from HSV players, he rarely got the ball but when he
got it, he always did well. The best moment for Zidan
in the game was his great pass to Ben Hatira (who replaced
the injured Sorin) in the 34th minute. Zidan sent a
great first time pass to Ben Hatira who should have
scored but he put the ball into the body of the goalkeeper.

In the 2nd half, Hertha BSC looked dangerous in the opening
minutes, but they failed to convert. On the other side, HSV
had had more possession but failed to create chances.
The best chance for HSV came from a penalty
kick which was awarded after a foul on Ivorian Guy Demel who
made an excellent run and was brought down inside the box.
The penalty kick was taken by Olic but he sent it wide and
squandered the golden chance.
Immediately after missing from the spot, the
coach Huub Stevens decided to replace Olic with Guerrero but
the latter didn't add much to HSV attack and the game ended
in a 0-0 draw.
The draw kept HSV 4th in the table and widened
the gap between them and Bayern Munich to 10 points.
