Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. 1. FC Nurnberg is hosting 1. FC Magdeburg for another epic battle.
- 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 25' Xavier Amaechi doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 30' It looks surprising 1. FC Magdeburg does not make any changes. Mo El Hankouri has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' 1. FC Nurnberg are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined 1. FC Magdeburg backline.
- 40' 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 Dominik Reimann suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. 1. FC Nurnberg and 1. FC Magdeburg are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 46' Tim Janisch has so much to prove this time. He replaces Florian Pick on 46 minute.
- 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jason Ceka, as he is very good at scoring at Max-Morlock-Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 56' It is a cagey affair so far. 1. FC Nurnberg in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past 1. FC Magdeburg's compact 3-4-3.
- 61' 1. FC Nurnberg have won 184 goals from 295 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 65' Livan Burcu adds to his 1 season tally! 1. FC Magdeburg lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
- 70' Fresh legs for 1. FC Nurnberg! Stefanos Tzimas comes on to replace Jens Castrop.
- 75' The 28-year-old Julian Justvan has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 80' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His 1. FC Nurnberg side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 81' That is a card for 1. FC Magdeburg. Jean Hugonet will be fuming at that decision.
- 81' Another change for 1. FC Nurnberg made on 81 minute. Finn Jeltsch leaves to be changed by Ondrej Karafiat.
- 84' Against the run of play, Alexander Nollenberger has scored! This game has turned on its head.
