Double brace ruled out!
Just like Zukowski, Breunig also scores twice, or so he thought! Atik finds Bockhorn, who has just come on, on the right. He looks for and finds Breunig, who keeps his cool in the centre of the box before smashing it home, but the goal is ruled out, and the score stays at 3-0.

Long time ago
Magdeburg's only home win against Nuremberg to date was a 3-0 victory 41 years ago in the Intertoto Cup, when the goalscorers were Wolfgang "Maxe" Steinbach, Heiko Bonan and Damian Halata.

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.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Tough task
The Club are trailing for the seventh time this season. They've only managed to get one point from trailing positions so far, in their 1-1 draw against Kaiserslautern.

Rare lead
Magdeburg are in the lead for only the third time this season, the other two times being against Dresden and Münster - both of which Magdeburg ended up winning.
78'
Double blow
Within four minutes, Nuremberg's prospects have all but evaporated. Can Klose's team find a way back into the contest with ten men?

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Almost an opener!
Ulrich fires a shot from the edge of the penalty area. Reichert nearly fumbles the ball into his own net, but luckily for him the ball bounces just centimetres wide of the left post.
41'
Nollenberger!
Now a golden opportunity for the hosts! Zukowski plays a perfect through ball into Nollenberger, who can't beat the incoming Reichert with his finish.
39'
Stepanov!
Another good chance, again for the visitors! Justvan breaks through on the right and crosses toward Stepanov, who can't get proper contact on the ball and can only head it over the bar.

Michel from distance
He tries his luck from range, but his powerful long-range shot is doesn't trouble Reichert.
16'
Missing the final touch
Atik curls a free-kick in from the left right in front of Reichert's goal, but no Magdeburg player can get on the end of it.

Definite yellow
Gnaka has no choice but to commit a shirt pull against Diop on the touchline - clear yellow card.
8'
Good cross!
Nollenberger whips in a cross from the right but it evades the onrushing Atik and Zukowski. The ball eventually comes to Michel, who shoots wide from the edge of the penalty area.
7'
Nice burst of pace
Yilmaz breaks through on the left, powers his way into the penalty area and earns the first corner via a blocked cross. Justvan takes it, but it doesn't reach a teammate.
5'
Reichert intervenes
Atik sends Musonda into the left side of the penalty area. Nuremberg 'keeper Reichert is alert and claims the ball ahead of Magdeburg's forward.

Kick-off!
Musonda for Ghrieb
Rayan Ghrieb moves to the bench, with Lubambo Musonda returning to the team after his yellow card suspension.
Young Franconians
With Diop coming in for Markhiev, Nuremberg's average age drops to 23 years, making today's lineup the youngest the league has seen so far this season! Magdeburg's team is almost five years older on average (27.8).
Gnaka for Hyryläinen
Silas Gnaka comes into the team for Luka Hyryläinen. Gnaka has lost his regular starting spot, making six substitute appearances this season. Gnaka has the second most Bundesliga 2 appearances for the club with 105, only behind goalkeeper Dominik Reimann.
Pressure mounting
After Braunschweig's victory earlier this afternoon, Magdeburg's are now six points adrift of the relegation play-off spot.
Diop moves into the team
Pape Demba Diop starts in place of Markhiev, though he is a completely different type of player. The Senegalese player returns to the starting line-up for the first time since Matchday 9. This is the only change that Miroslav Klose makes.
Nuremberg without Markhiev
The Club must manage without their new midfield orchestrator, Adam Markhiev. The problem: Nuremberg have only won this season when the Finn was on the pitch for at least an hour.
Breunig on the bench
While Alexander Ahl-Holmström remains sidelined and Ado Onaiwu doesn't even make the squad, Maximilian Breunig is fit again and on the bench. Magdeburg once again start without a recognised centre-forward, as Mateusz Zukowski, who was recently deployed centrally, is actually a winger by trade.

A rare Magdeburg home win
FCM's only home win against FCN came on the international stage. In 1984, the Börde city team won 3-0 at home in the Intertoto Cup (goals: Wolfgang Steinbach, Heiko Bonan, Damian Halata). The managers at that time were Claus Kreul and Heinz Höher.

Historic clubs clash
FCM against FCN, this is a duel between two historic clubs with trophy cabinets full of silverware: Nuremberg have been German champions nine times and cup winners four times, whereas Magdeburg won three championship titles and seven cups in the old GDR, and also won the European Cup Winners' Cup.
