Full-time: Nuremberg 3-0 Kaiserslautern

After 90 minutes, Nuremberg win 3-0 against Kaiserslautern. The hosts dominated the first half and took an early lead through Lochoshvili. Only as the match progressed did Lautern improve, with Berisha in particular creating goal-scoring opportunities for the Palatinate side. In the second half, Markhiev extended the lead from the spot in the 58th minute before Lochoshvili struck again. All in all, a thoroughly deserved home victory for Klose's side.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
The xGoals prove it: the two-goal lead for the hosts is absolutely justified.

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.

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.

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.

Half-time: Nuremberg 1-0 Kaiserslautern

After 45 minutes played, Nuremberg lead 1-0 against Kaiserslautern. The Club dominated the game and took an early lead through Lochoshvili. Only as the match progressed did Lautern improve, with Berisha in particular creating goal-scoring opportunities for the Palatinate side. Everything is still to play for in the second half, with the narrow scoreline offering both teams all possibilities.

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.

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.

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.

Five minutes to go

The first half is slowly coming to an end. Can the Palatinate side equalise before the break?

Just wide

Kaiserslautern counter-attack which allows Joly to get his shot away, forcing Reichert into a save. The keeper tips the ball onto the crossbar, before Ritter gets another shot from eight metres but aiming for the bottom corner, it goes inches wide of the post.
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.

Nuremberg establish themselves

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Torsten Lieberknecht on facing Nuremberg

"I believe that the Lautern past plays no role for Miroslav Klose before the match. He will prepare his team for the fixture like any other match. More important than his status at Kaiserslautern is the fact that he is a very good coach."

Miroslav Klose on facing Lautern

"Our priority continues to be increasing the gap to the teams below us. We need to focus on the quality of our performance. It wasn't good in our last home match, which is why we want to remind our fans of the kind of football we are capable of playing."
