Full-time: Elversberg 3-1 Arminia Bielefeld

Elversberg celebrate a never-threatened home victory here, which could have been even higher. The red card made it even more difficult for the visitors than it already was. With this, the Saarlanders temporarily jump to the top of the table, while Arminia conceded as many goals today as they last did in the game against Paderborn in October.

Maiden goal

At least one Bielefeld player has a success story: Christopher Lannert scores his first Bundesliga 2 goal.

The consolation goal

Bielefeld don't remain without goals today after all: Lannert simply keeps marching forward and is hardly challenged. The powerful shot into the near corner is then unstoppable for Kristof.

Blocked!

Rochelt fouls Petkov and there's a throw-in. Zimmerschied gets a shot away from the left side of the penalty area, but Großer is there to block the attempt.

Double substitution

Mokwa and Keidel come on, Schnellbacher cannot continue - birthday boy Günther also leaves the pitch.

Too long

Half-time: Elversberg 1-0 Bielefeld

The first 45 minutes are over and just before the half-time whistle, the hosts reward themselves for a strong first half. Arminia have shown little so far. After the break, play continues at de Kaiserlinde with a 1-0 lead for Elversberg.

Zimmerschied again and again

Now another offensive action after taking the lead - Zimmerschied marches down the left and then cuts inside. The shot is too imprecise and weak though - no problem for Kersken.

Twice as much!

Eighth goal of the season for Lukas Petkov - which means he has already doubled his previous best tally in Bundesliga 2 (four goals in the previous season)!

There it is!

Zimmerschied advances the ball quickly down the left, then Schnellbacher spots Petkov in a better position, who strikes it nicely with the inside of his foot. Elversberg lead!

5-0 shots on goal for Elversberg, the combination play is flowing - only Luca Schnellbacher has rarely been found so far, having touched the ball just four times.

Zimmerschied!

After build-up play involving Pinckert, Gyamerah and Pherai, Zimmerschied finds himself in a central position in front of goal. However, his right-footed shot goes well wide of the target.

Almost three times as long

Elversberg are doing very well in the pressing so far and need only about 11 seconds to win back a lost ball.

Ball Recovery Time

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).

xGoals
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).
After 20 minutes, only one team is really playing - but they haven't been able to convert this into anything tangible yet.

Post!

Pherai finds Petkov, whose shot crashes against the left post. The rebound then falls to Poręba, but his attempt flies over the crossbar.

Chance!

Now the visitors have their first chance - Günther plays a misplaced pass in the build-up, Corboz chases it down, but then stumbles over the ball in front of Kristof.

TOGETHER! Stop Hate. Be a Team

Another good opportunity

Handwerker plays a misplaced pass, allowing Zimmerschied to quickly advance the play and send Günther through on goal - the angle becomes increasingly tight, allowing Kersken to save at the near post.

Kersken has to intervene

Elversberg are putting on the pressure in the opening minutes - a cross from Günther goes than planned and almost drops into the far corner but Kersken stretches at full length and manages to claw the ball away.

Michél Kniat on facing Elversberg

"We want to do the double over Elversberg. Earlier this season we had a clear game plan, were compact in defence and were clinical in transition. We need to do the same again to create opportunities in the final third."

Vincent Wagner on facing Bielefeld

"I think it will be a serious test of patience, where it will be about keeping our nerve - a war of attrition, in which we must ensure that we cover well against counter-attacks and find solutions against the opponent's style of play."

Kniat's even Elversberg record

Bielefeld coach Mitch Kniat faced Elversberg in the third division with Verl in 2022/23, losing 2-1 at home, but winning 2-1 away.

Condé on target

Elversberg's Amara Condé has scored four goals in his 87 appearances in Bundesliga 2, and two of those came against Bielefeld. On 28 May 2023, he netted his only brace in Magdeburg's 4-0 victory against Arminia.

Last team on Elversberg's list

Elversberg have played against 25 clubs in Bundesliga 2 and have only failed to score against Bielefeld.

In the same division for the first time
