Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Hertha BSC kicks off things out of here…
5' It’s high time Stefan Leitl made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
20' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with 1. FC Magdeburg winning 100% of all matches.
25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FC Magdeburg needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
30' 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.
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.
37' Herbert Bockhorn was booked on 37.
42' Hertha BSC player sees a card in front of him.
47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Magdeburg that had 272 games and scored 149 goals.
52' 1. FC Magdeburg looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Laurin Ulrich scoring 1 goals.
57' Linus Gechter has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
61' 1. FC Magdeburg is taking the lead after the goal scored by Laurin Ulrich on 61.
66' It looks surprising Hertha BSC does not make any changes. Mickael Cuisance has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
68' Hertha BSC receives a card for a hard tackle on 68.
72' It’s gonna be a card for Diego Demme.
77' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
78' Hertha BSC player sees a card in front of him.
81' Jean Hugonet is having his name booked by the referee on 81.
86' 1. FC Magdeburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
With this win, 1. FC Magdeburg is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
