- 0' Welcome to MDCC-Arena that hosts another battle between 1. FC Magdeburg and 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dominik Reimann made 277 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with 1. FC Kaiserslautern winning 50% of all matches.
- 15' 1. FC Kaiserslautern started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' It looks surprising 1. FC Magdeburg does not make any changes. Julian Krahl has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' 1. FC Kaiserslautern looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Marlon Ritter scoring 1 goals.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' The travelling 1. FC Kaiserslautern supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' 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.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Kaiserslautern that had 273 games and scored 159 goals.
- 50' 1. FC Magdeburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 55' 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 Mateusz Zukowski suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FC Kaiserslautern needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 63' Marlon Ritter puts 1. FC Kaiserslautern on the lead.
- 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
- 71' That looks like a foul for a card for Baris Atik.
- 73' It’s gonna be a card for Simon Asta.
- 74' Mahir Emreli was booked on 74.
- 79' Marcus Mathisen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 84' It’s high time Torsten Lieberknecht made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 89' 1. FC Magdeburg is showing some good football. However, 1. FC Magdeburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Marcus Mathisen on 90.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for 1. FC Magdeburg and 1. FC Kaiserslautern (для сухой ничьи).
