- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — 1. FC Magdeburg and 1. FC Köln get this one started.
- 5' 1. FC Köln is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' 1. FC Magdeburg currently sit 4 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 15' Leart Paqarada is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for 1. FC Köln tonight.
- 20' 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 Florian Kainz suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gerhard Struber will be considering his options from the bench.
- 30' The 1. FC Koln bench stirs into life. Leart Paqarada is withdrawn and Max Finkgrafe gets his opportunity.
- 35' named a 3-4-3 Diamond earlier, and opted for a 3-5-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

- 41' The referee calls foul for Jan Thielmann. He receives a card.
- 46' Mathias Olesen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 51' 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.
- 56' The 1. FC Magdeburg bench stirs into life. Alexander Ahl-Holmstrom is withdrawn and Philipp Hercher gets his opportunity.
- 61' 1. FC Magdeburg 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.
- 66' A quiet spell here at MDCC-Arena. 1. FC Magdeburg seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
