Full-time
90'
+ 5
The seconds are ticking down
Nuremberg are taking their time with their actions now and running down the clock.
90'
+ 3
Kersken up front!
The Bielefeld goalkeeper is in the penalty area for a corner from the right side. He gets to the ball but loses it and has to sprint back. He crucially disrupts Grimaldi; otherwise, he would have had a clear path to goal.
90'

Stoppage time is underway
There will be six minutes added on. Will we see a third goal?
89'
The crossbar rattles!
After a long ball into the Nuremberg penalty area, the ball lands at Schneider, who doesn't hesitate. He fires off a powerful shot, but only hits the right angle of the crossbar!
87'
Goalscorer's day is done
Becker is replaced by Baack after a strong performance including a goal.

Substitution
85'
A hint of goal threat
Two corners from the left side lead to two attempts. First, Kania fails at the near post, then Young blasts the ball well over the crossbar with a first-time shot!
82'
Determined East Westphalians
After conceding the two goals, the visitors are the more active side, but they're simply not creating enough in the final third.
80'
Klose brings on fresh legs
Drexler and Knoche come on to bolster the defence for the final phase.

A new striker
Kania replaces Grodowski in the centre-forward position.

Yellow card for the playmaker

Visitors become more active
The substitutions seem to be having an effect. In the last few minutes, almost exclusively the visitors have had the ball, but they still cannot create any clear-cut goal-scoring opportunities.

Can Bielefeld respond?
In the second half, the visitors have not found their way into the match at all. If they want to take something tangible away from here, they need to become significantly more active in attack.
58'
Diop now also booked
To prevent the quick execution of a Bielefeld free kick, the substitute deliberately stands in front of the ball - Schröder responds with a yellow card!

48'
Penalty for Nürnberg!
Corboz catches Justvan in the penalty area, and after a VAR review, referee Schröder points to the spot and shows Corboz a yellow card.
47'
Justvan!
The playmaker gets the ball at his feet on the right side in front of the penalty area. He doesn't hesitate long and tries a curling shot, but misses the goal by just a few centimetres!
47'
A substitution for the Club
Diop is the new attacker on the pitch. Zoma, who was cautioned with a yellow card, stays in the dressing room.
46'
Let's continue!
The visitors from East Westphalia kick off the second half.

Lacking pace
Klose's team is doing a lot right, but they lack pace in their actions to break through the visitors' defensive block.

0:14
Dangerous
34'
No taker in position
Yilmaz and Zoma combine on the left wing, then the Italian delivers a sharp cross into the six-yard box. No striker is there, so the ball slides through.
30'
Quick response
Now the other way around: Boakye stamps on Zoma and also sees yellow.
29'
The first yellow card
Zoma arrives far too late in a challenge against Boakye in midfield and takes him out.
28'
Searching for openings
Nuremberg continue to play against Bielefeld's defensive block. However, in this phase they are not finding gaps and are no longer getting shots on goal.
24'
Flag goes up
Momuluh receives the through ball and finds himself one-on-one with Reichert, but fails to beat the home keeper. After the shot, the flag is raised for offside.
20'
Eyeing the lead
It's almost all Nuremberg. After a dominant opening phase, the question is, when will the opening goal come?
17'
From distance
Yilmaz takes a shot from about 20 metres from the left. He narrowly misses the far corner.

Not far off
Yilmaz dribbles through on the left side of the penalty area and plays the ball in front of the goal. Justvan is well-positioned but can only reach the ball with the tip of his boot and therefore can't place it. Kersken collects.
8'
Arminia sitting deep
The visitors are trying to operate from a compact defensive position. When they win the ball, they aim to move forward quickly. However, they haven't managed to do so yet.
5'
Good start
The hosts are trying to make an impact right away in these freezing temperatures. The ball is moving well up to the penalty area, but the home side hasn't been able to create a shot on goal yet.
2'
Silence in the stands
In Nuremberg, as in many other stadiums, there will be no atmosphere created during the first twelve minutes today due to current fan policy discussions.
1'
The ball is rolling
Nuremberg are wearing black shirts and kick off. The visitors from Bielefeld are wearing red shirts.
Kick-off!
A switch for Der Club
Lochoshvili has served his suspension and returns to the starting eleven; Knoche has to make way.
Never change a winning team?
Especially not after a 4-0 win. Mitch Kniat starts with the same eleven as that which began the thrashing of Karlsruhe.
