Full-time: Bielefeld 2-2 Kiel

Great spirit from Arminia, who battle back from 2-0 down to secure a potentially priceless point in their bid to beat the drop. Mid-table Kiel will be kicking themselves, but also feel a touch fortunate not to have lost following Ivan Nekić's sending off.

Super sub!

Talk about immediate impact! Uldrikis heads a right-wing cross down for Sarenren Bazee, who nods in for 2-2. The home side will feel they can win this now...

Off the bar!

That's his eighth goal of the season. Can Arminia go on and turn this around?

Half-time: Bielefeld 0-2 Kiel

Holstein Kiel go into the break with a 2-0 lead at Bielefeld – and certainly not undeservedly so. The hosts from East Westphalia have offered very little, and the visitors have made the most of their chances, first opening the scoring through a Schneider own goal before Nekic headed home a second. Bielefeld now face quite a challenge in the second half.
Half-time

"Bielefeld, Bielefeld!"

The home fans continue to spur on their team immediately after the setback. Remarkable!

2-0!

Niehoff swings in a corner from the left side, and Nekić heads home at the far post. Great header, but that was poorly defended.

After failing to control the ball, the advertising board takes a hit from the American.

Offside goal

Harres scores, but he and about five other Kiel players were offside when the ball was played over the top.
41'

Niehoff!

The right wing-back curls the ball from just outside the penalty area on the right, but it takes a deflection and narrowly misses the far corner.
39'

Silky Therkelsen

In the middle of the pitch, the attacking player skilfully gets past several opponents with his technical ability, but then misplaces a simple pass.
36'

How will Arminia respond?

The goal didn't necessarily look like it was coming. Mentally, that surely represents a setback, especially because of how the goal came about.
34'

Schneider's second own goal

Only Elversberg's Le Joncour has also scored two own goals in Bundesliga 2 this season.
33'

Own goal!

Therkelsen delivers the ball low from the right side, and in his desperation to stop any Kiel players from scoring, Schneider slides in and puts the ball into his own net.

Leon Schneider

OWN GOAL!

30 minutes played

A balanced affair with an even scoreline. Only Skrzybski and Therkelsen have created any danger for the Storks in the opening half an hour.

Loose Crosses

Both teams have not exactly distinguished themselves in terms of precision when it comes to crosses so far.

First corner

The first set-piece of the match poses no goal threat.

Only an apparent opportunity

Rochelt is free in front of goal on the right after a headed pass, but clears the crossbar with a poor effort. Luckily for the Bielefeld man, any potential goal wouldn't have counted anyway, as he was offside.
17'

First yellow card

Nekic tactically fouls Grodowski, who was picking up pace, and receives the first booking of the match.
17'

Felix has to come off

Großer takes the place of the defender who has injured his shoulder.
15'

There was more in that

Therkelsen dribbles along the left side of the penalty area and gets into a good position before opting for a pass rather than a shot, and the chance is gone.
12'

Brief treatment break

Felix needs to see the medical staff due to shoulder problems. However, the centre-back will continue playing for now.
11'

Air Harres

From a Tolkin cross, the striker gets an opportunity for a volley, but he fails to control his right-footed attempt whilst in the air. It was a tricky one, but he wasn't too far away from converting.

Kiel slightly on top

The Storks have started slightly better, looking more purposeful going forward.

First shot

Skrzybski dips inside from the left and shoots from the edge of the box, but narrowly misses the target.

22nd Remembrance Day in German football: "Never again" is now. And always.

On 27 January 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was liberated. Every year around this date, German football, together with the "!Never again" initiative, commemorates the people who were persecuted, deported and murdered under National Socialism.

More on that Bielefeld team

Kniat, meanwhile, makes two changes to the Arminia side that lost 1-0 at Fortuna Düsseldorf. Schneider and January arrival Rochelt come in, replacing Wörl and Großer.

More on that Kiel team

Rapp keeps faith with the side that beat Paderborn 2-0 on Sunday, which means January signings Meffert and Tohumcu start in central midfield for the second game running.

Mitch Kniat on facing Kiel

"Holstein Kiel are characterised by a very intensity, while they consistently press the opponent high up the pitch. They are a very good team. We therefore need to find many solutions. Last week, we created too few goal-scoring opportunities. That's exactly where our focus lies. We need to get into the box more often, force goals and generate more set-pieces. At the same time, we need to maintain the defensive stability that we have shown in recent weeks."

Marcel Rapp on facing Bielefeld

"It will probably go back and forth. We are ready to play intense football."
