Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. 1. FC Kaiserslautern kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 1. FC Magdeburg are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against 1. FC Kaiserslautern's 3-4-2-1 shape.
  • 10' 1. FC Kaiserslautern fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 20' 1. FC Magdeburg currently sit 12 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' 1. FC Kaiserslautern 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.
  • 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Petrik Sander will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Ivory Coast international Silas Gnaka has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' Over 45 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 50' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His 1. FC Magdeburg side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 55' Both keepers have barely been tested. 1. FC Magdeburg and 1. FC Kaiserslautern are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Petrik Sander might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 63' What composure from Marlon Ritter! The Germany international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 68' Dominik Reimann has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 71' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Baris Atik.
  • 73' The referee has no hesitation. Simon Asta is booked for 1. FC Kaiserslautern — card on 73.
  • 74' The referee shows 1. FC Kaiserslautern player a card on 74.
  • 79' It is a cagey affair so far. 1. FC Magdeburg in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past 1. FC Kaiserslautern's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 84' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 89' 1. FC Magdeburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 89.
  • 90' Marcus Mathisen was booked on 90.
  • 0-1 the final result. 1. FC Magdeburg will be bitterly disappointed.
