Not much happening anymore
The goal was the huge blow for Magdeburg. They now lack any punch going forward. After the victory last week, it's another defeat now.

That's how it goes
Another one of those dangerous counter-attacks for Arminia. However, the ball to Grodowski is a bit too imprecise. Magdeburg must be careful not to concede a second goal here.

80'
Double substitution on both sides
Plenty of work for the fourth official: Magdeburg bring on two attacking players, while Arminia also introduces two pacey players with Sarenren Bazee and Grodowski.

Corner
Magdeburg attempt a shot from the edge of the box, but Knoche blocks it for a corner. Kersken clears Atik's delivery.
75'
Alert hosts
Magdeburg can hardly be faulted: They shoot more frequently, run more and are especially quicker in winning the ball back. Compared to Arminia, they need five seconds less. Only the goal is still missing.

Too much small-scale play
Ulrich and Stalmach can't agree, Uldrikis says thank you and snatches the ball. From a central position, he tries a long-range shot, but Magdeburg manage to clear it. The corner yields nothing.

The visitors also make a change
Visiting coach Kniat has seen enough and brings on Mehlem and Boakye for Wörl and Lannert.

Tachie with a volley!
The ball reaches Tachie in the centre via a roundabout route from Ulrich. From a central position, he doesn't hesitate, strikes it first time and forces Kersken into the first save of the match.
64'
First substitution
Ghrieb was moving around a lot, but he hasn't accomplished much in the second half. Tachie comes on for him.

Musonda with a header
Atik remains on fire. He delivers a cross from the left side to the far post. Musonda rises high there, but can't generate enough power on the ball to direct it towards the goal.

Bielefeld remain dangerous
After the restart, Arminia have already had their second good opportunity in the transition play. However, Corboz is imprecise with the pass and so the counter-attack fizzles out just in front of the Magdeburg penalty area.
48'
Brief interruption
Ulrich is unfortunately caught on the heel by Russo. After a short treatment break, the match continues.

We're back under way!
The ball is rolling again in Magdeburg.

Half-time
45'
Good free-kick position
Just left of the penalty area, Russo brings Ulrich down. Atik takes the ball and tries to curl it over the wall with his right foot. The ball flies narrowly over the crossbar.
41'
Counter-attack fizzles out
While it was mainly the left side that posed a threat for the hosts at the beginning of the match, now it's more Ghrieb's wing. However, his pass to Zukowski ends up with the opponent.
38'
Ghrieb invited to dance
After the goal, Magdeburg seems undeterred. Ghrieb receives the ball on the right side of the penalty area, with a quick feint he sends Knoche to the ground. His shot from the right goes over the crossbar.
35'
It's been a while
Bauer scored a Bundesliga 2 goal for the first time in almost five years. In April 2021, he scored the winning goal in Greuther Fürth's 1-0 away victory against Heidenheim.

Magdeburg in luck
Müller plays a dreadful pass in the build-up. Uldrikis intercepts the ball and plays it to Wörl, who slips and squanders the good shooting opportunity in the penalty area.
28'
Ghrieb also sees yellow
Bielefeld earn a free-kick in their own half, but Magdeburg's winger doesn't want to give the ball back.
26'
Curious
Stalmach attempts to clear a long ball with a volley, but accidentally hits referee Eckermann. The official takes it in his stride and they shake hands.
22'
Magdeburg applying pressure
The hosts are now taking control. Arminia are positioned in their own penalty area and have so far failed to disrupt Magdeburg. However, the hosts also lack penetration in their attacks.
19'
First caution
Lannert receives a yellow card for this tactical foul as he prevents Zukowski from breaking through.
19'
Again from the left
Atik cuts in from the left flank, lays it back to Ulrich, who takes a shot with confidence. However, the ball lands wide of the goal.

Zukowski again

That was close!
9'
Corner kick
Arminia launches an attack down the left flank, but it ends with Hugonet. Handwerker's cross is cleared by Magdeburg.
7'
Uldrikis with a header
Corboz takes on Allen and plays the ball out to the right wing. Lannert's cross finds Uldrikis, but his header is collected by Reimann.
6'
Zukowski from distance
The ball reaches the home side's centre-forward from the right. But his volley from a good 25 metres flies wide of the Arminia goal.
3'
Ooft!
Magdeburg fail to clear the ball from Knoche's throw-in. Russo strikes it on the volley from outside the box, striking the crossbar. The hosts were lucky there.
2'
Magdeburg under pressure
Bielefeld play the ball forward from the kick-off. Magdeburg initially have problems with this, but Hugonet clears for a throw-in in his own penalty area.
1'
Kick-off
The ball is rolling at the Elbe, and it's the visitors who kick off proceedings.

Unhappy memory
Bielefeld have never scored in Magdeburg after playing out a 0-0 draw in September 2018 and losing 4-0 there on the final day of the 2022/23 Bundesliga 2 season. Victory would have kept them up, but instead they went on to lose the play-off to Wehen Wiesbaden and were relegated.
