Full time: Magdeburg 0-2 Bielefeld

Final whistle at the Elbe. Arminia ultimately deserves the win in this relegation battle. They were particularly dangerous on the counter-attack, especially in the second period. Magdeburg only have themselves to blame for not being clinical enough in front of goal. Only two shots landed on target for Bielefeld.

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.

Bielefeld double their lead!

Boakye relieves Arminia. And of course it was a counter-attack that made this goal possible. Grodowski drives the ball forward, lays it off to the right to Sarenren Bazee. Boakye comes rushing in behind him and his teammate serves him with a short pass. The shot flies into the net from the right. Huge goal.

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.

Can Magdeburg come back?

Bielefeld have only kept one clean sheet away from home this season; on Matchday two with a 2-0 victory in Kiel.
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.
77'

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.

Ball Recovery Time

info-small
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).

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.
70'

The visitors also make a change

Visiting coach Kniat has seen enough and brings on Mehlem and Boakye for Wörl and Lannert.
68'

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.
60'

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.

Off the crossbar!

Stalmach chases after a ball and is fouled by Russo in the D outside the penalty area. The Arminia player receives a yellow card for that. Atik fires the resulting free-kick onto the crossbar!
56'

Kersken with nothing to do

Although the hosts have already had nine shots, Arminia's keeper has not had to intervene once.

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: Magdeburg 0-1 Bielefeld

Lively match on the Elbe. Arminia lead not undeservedly, as they repeatedly pose a threat from set pieces and throw-ins. Magdeburg are better in open play and have had several dangerous moments in front of the Bielefeld goal. Only precision in their finishing has been lacking so far.
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.

Bielefeld lead!

Handwerker delivers a corner from the right. And just like in Fürth, Magdeburg don't look good. Bauer rises high and heads it in unchallenged.

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.
16'

Possession as expected

The home side have more of the ball as expected. But Arminia are not just limiting themselves to counter-attacks, they are also seeking success in their own spells of possession.

Zukowski again

Müller initiates an attack down the left and lays it off to Nollenberger. The left-back crosses to the far post and finds Zukowski. But his header goes narrowly over the bar.

That was close!

Reimann quickly transitions play with a lovely clearance, finding Atik on the left side. From there, the ball reaches Zukowski. He cuts inside, but his shot goes past the right post.
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.

Kick-off

The ball is rolling at the Elbe, and it's the visitors who kick off proceedings.

Zukowski outscores all of Bielefeld

Watch: Arminia Bielefeld 3-2 Eintracht Braunschweig

Bielefeld claimed their first win since November and moved up to 11th on Matchday 21 - yet they remain just two points ahead of the bottom three.

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.

Watch: Arminia 2-0 Magdeburg - highlights

Mael Corboz and Joel Grodowski were on target as Arminia took all three points on Matchday 5.

Head-to-head record

It's two wins apiece and one draw in the five Bundesliga 2 meetings to date between Magdeburg and Arminia.
