The three points are sealed
Nothing more will happen in the final minutes to chance the result. Magdeburg will surely secure three points on this Easter Saturday.

Applause for Atik

Substitution

Horn denies Ulrich
Atik plays in Ulrich on the right side of the penalty area, but the midfielder's low shot from 13 metres is too imprecise and is blocked by a strong save from Horn with his foot.

Zukowski booked
The double goalscorer fouls Olsen just outside his own penalty area on the right and receives a yellow card for it.

Zukowski does it again!
It's two goals in two minutes for the hosts! Bochum lose the ball directly after kick-off, Tachie then serves Zukowski on the right half of the box and the striker finishes from 13 metres precisely into the bottom left corner of the net.

Magdeburg make it 3-1!
It all comes from an ice-cold counter-attack! Atik drives the ball forward with pace down the left, enters the penalty area and then calmly plays it across to Zukowski. The striker takes the ball in his stride and finishes from six metres into the bottom left corner.

Booking for Bochum
Miyoshi pulls Ulrich down by the shirt in midfield. Clear decision, that's a booking!
65'
Another yellow card
Wittek commits a tactical foul against Tachie in midfield and receives a booking.
62'
30 minutes to go
Bochum are significantly stronger than in the first half and are now applying much more pressure. Magdeburg seem unsettled as the composure from the first period is gone. This will be a very interesting final 30 minutes here...
59'
Reimann makes the stop
Bochum can sniff an equaliser! Alfa-Ruprecht does brilliantly on the left and then plays a low ball back from near the byline into the penalty area. The substitute Marshall is lurking there and shoots directly from seven metres out. He aims for the near post, but Reimann makes a strong save to concede a corner. The resulting set-piece comes to nothing.

Bochum pull one back!
The deficit is halved! Miyoshi holds his ground on the right side of the pitch and then plays a superb through ball into the box to Hofmann. The striker receives the ball centrally with his back to goal, turns and finishes from 11 metres into the bottom left corner of the net. Reimann dives down but cannot prevent the ball from going in. Game on!
53'
First booking of the match
Olsen brings down Musonda in midfield, resulting in a yellow card.
52'
Hofmann has an effort
The striker nods a cross from the right half-space by Olsen just wide of the left post. He's about a metre off target...
50'
Almost the 3-0!
At the other end of the pitch, Zukowski has a huge chance for the 3-0! After a fine cross from the right by Ulrich, the striker is alone in front of Horn, but he doesn't connect properly with the ball from seven metres out and therefore miserably puts it wide of the left post.
49'
Wide from Miyoshi
Alfa-Ruprecht crosses from the left to the middle, Miyoshi runs in at the far post and guides the ball from five metres just wide of the right post. The attacking player doesn't connect properly with the ball, otherwise it would probably be 2-1 now.
Kick-off!

The ball is rolling again
Referee Prigan blows the whistle for the second half. The hosts continue without any personnel changes for now.

Magdeburg double their lead!!
43'
Horn secure
Atik crosses from the left to the inside and looks for Zukowski in the middle, but the delivery is a touch too far. Horn is alert and catches the cross securely.
42'
Alfa-Ruprecht impresses
After a short corner, Atik dances with the ball at his feet on the right wing, but Alfa-Ruprecht stays solid in the challenge and fairly dispossesses the attacker.
41'
Pain for Ulrich
The midfielder is caught on the foot by Hofmann and requires treatment afterwards. However, the Magdeburg player is back on his feet and can continue playing.
40'
Five minutes to go
The first half is coming to an end - can Bochum manage to equalise before the break?
38'
Tachie goes down
Strompf misplays the ball, then the defender trips the pursuing Tachie. The Magdeburg player remains down on the ground, but he can continue playing for now.
36'
Tricky Cross
After a short corner from the right, Bockhorn crosses the ball from almost the right corner of the penalty area. The delivery takes a very strange flight path and flies dangerously towards the near post. In the end, the ball lands on the outside of the right netting, narrowly missing the target.
32'
First sub of the match
Morgalla is replaced by Olsen after just 30 minutes. Rösler seems to be reacting to his team's performance so far, as there is no hint of a potential injury.

Substitution
29'
Magdeburg tenacious
After losing the ball, they need only 13 seconds on average to win it back. It's quite different for the visitors, who need more than twice as long to do so.

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).
0:23
Almost an equaliser out of nowhere
27'
Another shot
Ulrich shoots from just inside the penalty area, but the shot lacks placement and poses no problems for Horn.

24'
Foul by Hofmann
The striker brings Michel down from behind in midfield, resulting in a free kick for the home side. The subsequent set piece is once again played high into the box but poses no danger this time.
20'
Mathisen can't direct it goalwards
Atik floats a free kick from the centre of the field precisely forward to the half-left of the penalty area to the lurking Mathisen. The defender rises for a header from a few metres out, and nods the ball well wide of the right post.
19'
Bochum can't get a proper grip
Rösler's side have been chasing the game a lot, with spaces in Bochum's midfield already beginning to open up.
16'
Quarter of an hour gone
Magdeburg have been the better team so far and have clearly had more possession. They keep pushing forward and looking for ways to attack, while Bochum are waiting for counter-attack opportunities. Being behind, they will have to do more sooner or later and try to open up their game.
15'
Alfa-Ruprecht tries his luck
The Bochum player cuts in from the left and then looks for a finish from 18 metres out. His attempt is too central and flies straight into Reimann's arms.
13'
Zukowski with the chance
Musonda crosses from the left and at the far post, Tachie heads it across. Zukowski is lurking in the six-yard box and sticks his boot out, but he can't direct the ball properly towards the goal, and so the chance fizzles out in the end.
9'
Bochum looking for a response
The visitors advance down the right through Miyoshi, but then the speedy winger gets caught and loses the ball.
GOOOOOAL!

"Magdeburg like to keep possession - they're among the best in the league at that. They're a talented side but struggle when it comes to taking their chances. We need to learn our lessons from the goals we conceded [against Kiel]."
