Schwäbe!
The Cologne goalkeeper has to stretch full length to save a shot from Wekesser. Schwäbe is also on hand for the subsequent corner. This match is far from over.

Düsseldorf's carousel
Why don't they shoot?! Appelkamp, Jóhannesson and Kownacki combine in tight spaces in front of Magdeburg's goal. But none of them wants to take responsibility and fire the ball towards the net. Magdeburg defender Heber intervenes.

Nearly a comedy of errors
Petkov breaks away on the right and delivers a dangerous cross into the middle. Schallenberg rushes in and clears the ball straight at his goalkeeper! The ball rebounds hard off Heekeren's chest and back to Schallenberg, who then clears it for a corner. A lucky escape for the Royal Blues.

Record equalled
Reese has just scored his eleventh goal of the season. This equals his previous personal season record in Bundesliga 2, notched for Holstein Kiel two years ago. The big difference: back then he scored those goals across 33 appearances, while this season it's only 18!
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Fürth take the lead!
Quarshie delivers a long throw-in into the box, where the ball bounces past virtually everyone on the pitch. At the far post, Klaus' shot hits Muheim, who is already on the ground. The ball comes back to the midfielder, who tries again with even more power at the second attempt, and he ruthlessly smashes it under the crossbar.

Nearly the leveller!
After a short corner, Bulut finds Mohr again, whose shot from the right aimed at the far corner whistles just past the post. Kristof wouldn't have got there...

Hendrix almost equalises
Last week's brace scorer is found free in the six-yard box, but is immediately closed down by Dressel, Brandt and Strompf. Unlike in the previous match, Hendrix fails to produce a wonder strike - this attempt is blocked, and Ortag calmly collects the ball.
37'
Lidberg!
The striker is sent in behind the defensive line. He manages to penetrate the penalty area from the left and shoots with his right foot from nine yards out but Gebhardt is there to save the Swede's shot, preserving his team's lead.

The visitors show no signs of being disheartened and take the lead with their next chance. Asllani dribbles past three opponents on the left side and moves towards the centre. Petkov receives his pass on the right, about 25 yards from the Schalke goal, takes a step inside and then smashes the ball powerfully under the crossbar. Heekeren is well-positioned but can't get a hand on the knuckleball. Another screamer here in Gelsenkirchen.

Lars Barlemann's thoughts
"We're looking forward to this match, we've worked hard for it on the training ground. The aim is to deliver another good performance."
Torsten Lieberknecht on facing Cologne
"Kaiserslautern owe Friedhelm Funkel a huge debt of gratitude. It will certainly be an emotional and special match. Not only in terms of the game itself, but also with everything surrounding it as well. Everyone is looking forward to it; we noticed that in training as well."
Daniel Thioune on facing Magdeburg
"I have a great deal of respect for the opponent and their development. Magdeburg are playing the best second division season in their history, which they surely want to cement with three points and redeem themselves for their last home game against Preußen Münster. In recent matches, they may have tripped up a bit, but they have a great offence, good positional play and an excellent manager on the touchline."
Merlin Polzin's thoughts
"No one needs to motivate us for Sunday's match. We are still competitors and we want to win the league. Even though our main goal has already been achieved, we still want to have a photo with the championship trophy at the end."
Jakob Fimpel on facing Elversberg
"It's a big opportunity for Elversberg. They're having a strong season, are strong going forward and have a close bond with one another. But primarily, it's about us performing better than we did last week against Düsseldorf."

Daniel Scherning on facing Nuremberg
"Nuremberg will be an opponent who will also try everything to win this match. It's great that we're playing at home and that we have the fans behind us. We've won many important matches here. We've shown that we can deliver top performances here and that's the goal for Sunday."
