Brilliant attack from Elversberg. Asllani then has a chance to shoot from the left side of the penalty area and curls it towards the far corner, but Ortag dives and tips the ball around the post!

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Hosts back in it
Schnellbacher with his third goal of the season. Şahin chips the ball into the penalty area, Neubauer heads it across, and Schnellbacher, in true striker fashion, bundles it over the line!

Super sub strikes!
That's the third goal of the season for Higl. After the Şahin foul, Higl takes the free-kick from just over 20 metres out, slightly to the right of the goal. He shoots low into the goalkeeper's corner, catching Kristof off guard as he sees the ball too late!

Damar can't reach it
Baum has space on the right side of the penalty area and delivers a delicate cross to the far post. Damar is completely unmarked, but the cross is simply too high for him. He can't make controlled contact with his head and the ball goes out of play!
41'
He must score that!
Schnellbacher receives a cross from Petkov in the six-yard box and really only needs to tap the ball over the line. He stumbles slightly and then shoots the ball over the crossbar!

Well over
Elversberg try to respond quickly. Petkov hastily takes a shot from over 20 metres out and blasts the ball about three metres over the crossbar.

Counter-attack thwarted!

Not taking advantage
Ulm have two more corners from the left side and this time they manage to get a shot off: Kolbe heads the ball from about seven metres out, but Kristof can easily catch the ball as it's too central.
