- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' 1. FC Nürnberg have won 212 goals from 308 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 25' Jens Castrop, a South Korea , has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with 1. FC Nürnberg winning 100% of all matches.
- 35' 1. FC Nürnberg 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.
