It's three!
Lochoshvili bags a brace! A Becker corner from the right finds Scobel at the far post, who lays it off to Lochoshvili. The defender takes aim from nine metres out and places it perfectly into the bottom right corner.

Substitution
81'
Lautern give up
Kaiserslautern seem to be surrendering to their fate here, the visitors have not launched a final offensive yet and are by no means present in the challenges.
78'
Wide
Zoma penetrates the penalty area from the right and takes aim from ten metres, targeting the bottom left corner, but in the end shoots relatively wide of the goal.
77'
The clock is ticking against Kaiserslautern
The Red Devils have just over 10 minutes left to make up two goals. At the moment, however, there's not much to suggest a comeback from the visitors.
75'
Another substitution for the Franconians
Becker comes on for Justvan.

Gyamfi needs treatment
The defender is having problems with his right hip and is now being attended to by the medical staff on the pitch.

Next substitution for Kaiserslautern
Skyttä's day is done, Robinson will now take part in his place.

Substitution
70'
Too high
Zoma gets a shot away from the right-hand side of the penalty area from 14 metres out and it's blocked, but the ball falls back to Justvan's feet. The attacking midfielder looks for a finish from the edge of the penalty area and blasts the ball into the clouds.
69'
Creativity is lacking
The Red Devils are not clicking in attack, the Palatinate side are showing no goal threat in this second half.

First change for Nuremberg
Fernandez comes on for Nzingoula.

Brilliant save by Krahl
Almost 3-0! Justvan shoots without warning from a standing position from 14 metres out and aims for the bottom right corner. Krahl gets down lightning-fast and prevents the ball from going in with a strong save.
61'
Tough task for Kaiserslautern
The visitors are now facing a mammoth task. 30 minutes remain to take at least a point back to the Palatinate.

The foul before the penalty for Nuremberg's second
58'
Nuremberg extend their lead!
Zoma has the ball centrally in the penalty area and tries to finish from eight metres out, but Şahin comes from behind and pushes the attacker down. Wagner immediately points to the spot, and Markhiev confidently converts the resulting penalty into the middle of the net.
56'
Triple substitution for the visitors
Ritter, Kunze and Joly are replaced by Bassette, Emreli and Kenny Prince Redondo.
56'
Justvan sees yellow
After a shot, the Nuremberg player wants a corner, which is not given, and subsequently the 27-year-old is booked for dissent.

Good attempt
Baack lays it off nicely for Justvan, the midfielder's shot from 17 metres fizzes narrowly past the bottom right corner of the goal.
53'
Too close
Yilmaz crosses from the left towards the middle, but too close to Krahl's goal. The goalkeeper says thank you and plucks the ball safely out of the air.
51'
Out of play
Koudossou receives the ball from Zoma on the right side of the penalty area and tries to get past Haas. However, the Lautern player is alert, so Koudossou ultimately runs out of play with the ball at his feet and the danger fizzles out.
50'
Kim stays alert
Baack drives forward on the left flank and crosses it into the middle, where Kim is on the spot, clearing it acrobatically.
49'
Well over
On the other side, Markhiev gets a shot away from 18 metres, but his attempt ends up in the third tier.
48'
Corner from the right
Skyttä delivers a corner from the right towards the far post, where Şahin gets to the ball in the space behind and shoots from 14 metres. He aims for the bottom left corner, but Reichert dives down and holds the shot.
46'
The ball is rolling again
Referee Wagner blows the whistle for the second half. Both teams continue without any personnel changes.

Half-time
45'
+ 1
Berisha with a header
Berisha is lurking at the far post and nods the ball narrowly over the crossbar from five metres. However, the flag goes up once again, as the striker was offside beforehand.
44'
Blocked
Joly finds Şahin, who immediately looks for the finish from the right-hand side of the penalty area. Baack gets his foot in the way and blocks the shot, preventing the ball from reaching the goal.
41'
Too much
Şahin plays a through ball forward down the left to Haas, but the pass is a touch too far and goes out for a goal kick.
40'
Five minutes to go
The first half is slowly coming to an end. Can the Palatinate side equalise before the break?

0:25
Just wide
36'
Another Yellow Card
Kunze brings down Markhiev in midfield and is shown the yellow card.
35'
Over
Berisha gets another shot, this time from the left side of the box, turning and shooting from nine metres out. This time the striker miscues and sends the ball about two metres over the top left corner of the goal.
33'
Offside!
Suddenly the ball is in the back of Nuremberg's net! Sirch chips the ball from the right to the left side of the box, where Berisha is lurking and buries the header from ten metres into the bottom right corner. However, the flag immediately goes up as the striker was standing in an offside position when the pass was played.
32'
Strong pressing
Joly has the ball on the right side in his own half. Immediately two Nuremberg players close him down and pressure the full-back. He subsequently loses the ball and complains about the lack of passing options.
30'
Half hour gone
The lead for the Franconians is absolutely deserved, the hosts are the dominant team and keep attacking. From Lautern, there is little to nothing going forward offensively, Berisha up front is completely isolated.

Another card
Sirch complains to Wagner and is cautioned for it.
25'
Nuremberg establish themselves
The hosts keep possession of the ball in the Palatinate ranks, who can hardly get out of their own half and are sitting very deep.
23'
Great attack
Justvan gets the ball on the left side and immediately finds Nzingoula, who is running in at the left of the six-yard box. He takes a first-time shot from six metres out, but it's blocked for a corner. The subsequent set-piece from the left didn't amount to anything.
21'
Lautern harmless
The visitors have lacked ideas in attack so far, with the Palatinate side's offensive efforts repeatedly fizzling out at an early stage.
Battle for the ball

First booking of the match
Ritter lunges into a tackle against Markhiev near his own penalty area on the right and takes out the Nuremberg player, earning the Kaiserslautern player a yellow card.
15'
All miss
Yilmaz delivers the ball into the box from the left at full pace, where both Scobel and Koudossou narrowly miss it by a whisker.
13'
Zoma blocked
Scobel finds the attacker on the left side, who bursts into the box with pace and then looks for the finish from six metres out. Kim rushes after him, puts in a perfect tackle and blocks the shot for a corner. The subsequent set-piece ultimately comes to nothing.
11'
Lochoshvili down on the ground
The goalscorer takes Berisha's elbow to the face in an aerial duel and remains down on the pitch. However, he is eventually able to continue without requiring treatment.
8'
Krahl secure
Zoma finds Koudossou on the right flank, who then delivers the ball into the middle. In the centre, Krahl is alert and catches the cross.
7'
Corner from the left
This time Justvan delivers a corner from the left side high into the box, and it's dangerous again! At the far post, Scobel gets to the ball, but his shot turns into a cross. Nzingoula is lurking in the five-metre box on the left but his effort goes just wide.
4'
How will Kaiserslautern react?
The Palatinate side seem to be unfazed by the early deficit. They are pressing Nuremberg high up the pitch and closing down early.

Nuremberg celebrate!
