Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds MDCC-Arena will turn into a battlefield for 1. FC Magdeburg and 1. FC Koln.
- 5' 1. FC Koln seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 10' Daniel Heber is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for 1. FC Magdeburg tonight.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Christian Titz might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FC Koln needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' A change in the 1. FC Koln ranks — Leart Paqarada exits the field as Max Finkgrafe enters on 30.
- 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Marcus Mathisen suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' It’s a booking for 1. FC Koln player. Jan Thielmann gets a card.
- 46' 1. FC Koln are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FC Koln is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' The 1. FC Magdeburg bench stirs into life. Alexander Ahl-Holmstrom is withdrawn and Philipp Hercher gets his opportunity.
- 61' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 66' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Linton Maina made 300 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 67' The 1. FC Koln bench stirs into life. Florian Kainz is withdrawn and Gian-Luca Waldschmidt gets his opportunity.
- 72' 1. FC Koln player sees a card in front of him.
- 73' Daniel Heber puts 1. FC Magdeburg on the lead.
- 77' The supporters are chanting for Imad Rondic. He replaces Joel Schmied on 77 minute.
- 78' A change in the 1. FC Magdeburg ranks — Alexander Nollenberger exits the field as Samuel Loric enters on 78.
- 79' A goal from the Netherlands international Mo El Hankouri! He fires home on 79 to make it 2-0!
- 84' Both keepers have barely been tested. 1. FC Magdeburg and 1. FC Koln are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 88' The whistle greets Mo El Hankouri as he departs to be replaced by Bryan Silva Teixeira.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for 1. FC Magdeburg players.
