Zoma can't make it 2-0

After a low cross from the right, Zoma gets a free shot from about ten metres out in a central position. However, he puts the ball just wide of the left post.

57'

Nuremberg are defending the flanks consistently

Braunschweig are now increasingly looking to attack via the wings through Opoku. However, the visitors are alert and have been defending these situations cleanly so far.

54'

Mijatović halted at the last moment

Braunschweig counter-attack dangerously through Mijatović. The offensive player wants to finish with his left foot, but a Nuremberg player gets his foot in at the last moment and prevents the shot.

50'

VAR disallows the equaliser

After a free kick, the ball ends up in the net, but the goal doesn't count. There's a lot of commotion in the penalty area, with Braunschweig players crucially impeding Reichert, while another player is in an offside position. VAR intervenes and rules out the goal.

Half-time: Braunschweig 0-1 Nuremberg

It's been an intense first-half in Braunschweig, in which Nuremberg have been very effient. The visitors capitalise on a build-up error to take the lead and generally appear more structured in their forward play. Braunschweig have had more spells of possession and are striving for control, but are struggling to find solutions against Nuremberg's compact and well-organised defensive play. Many crosses and set-pieces have posed little threat so far, while Nürnberg impressed particularly through quick counter-attacks and clear patterns of play. It's been a match of few chances so far.

Half-time

45'

Nuremberg close to a second

The visitors are currently closer to scoring their second goal than Braunschweig are to equalising. The hosts are having major problems solving the early pressing with their build-up play and are struggling to find controlled solutions in their build-up.

0:20

Yilmaz fires from distance

After a corner kick, the ball lands at Yilmaz, who immediately shoots from distance. The attempt goes just over the bar. It was a good opportunity for the visitors.

41'

Nuremberg well structured

The visitors are having another good spell and are carrying their attacks forward in a very structured manner. In positional play, Nürnberg currently appears superior.

37'

Gruber booked

The Nuremberg man initially wins the duel, but in the next action he arrives too late and catches his opponent at the halfway line. The referee shows the yellow card.

Braunschweig are increasing the pressure

The hosts are enjoying a spell of sustained pressure with several crosses and corners. However, they're not particularly threatening.

30'

Reichert clears just in time

A strong through ball sends Ramos into the attacking third. However, the striker is a fraction too slow, allowing Reichert to come out in time and clear the situation.

28'

Reichert hardly challenged so far

Nuremberg are defending very attentively and consistently getting a foot in. As a result, Reichert hasn't really had to intervene yet and is experiencing a quiet match in the visitors' goal.

25'

Sané is forced off with injury

After a challenge, Sané remains on the ground in some pain. He is unable to continue and Braunschweig must make a substitution.

Sané hits the wall

Sané gets a good free kick opportunity from about 25 metres centrally in front of goal. However, his shot hits the Braunschweig wall and he appears visibly annoyed.

GOOOAL!

After a passing error in the build-up play, the visitors switch play lightning-fast. Zoma plays a brilliant through ball into the penalty area, where Nzingoula keeps his composure, sets himself up and finishes into the top left corner.

Di Michele Sanchez misses a big chance!

After losing the ball in the build-up, Braunschweig quickly counter-attack. Di Michele Sanchez gets a shot away, but puts it wide of the bottom right corner. It was a very good opportunity for the hosts...

Lots of duels, but little danger

Both teams are engaged in intense battles in midfield. The match is heavily focused on challenges, but clear goal-scoring opportunities have been absent so far.

11'

Aydin misses from distance

After a free kick, the second ball lands at Aydin. He shoots from range, but doesn't strike the ball properly, as it goes well wide of the left post and out of play.

Gruber clears the corner

Braunschweig get their first corner of the match. However, the delivery lands right at Gruber, who heads the ball out of the danger zone.

Nuremberg rely on long balls

The visitors are increasingly trying to play long balls forward. Braunschweig are compact in their own half and are refraining from high pressing for the time being.

Braunschweig with the quick start

The hosts begin the match with full commitment and secure plenty of possession in the opening minutes. Braunschweig are trying to gain control of the game early on.

Kick-off in Braunschweig!

The ball is rolling. Nuremberg take the kick-off...

Kick-off!

Tempelmann before comeback

Former Nuremberg player Lino Tempelmann had his last appearance in the first leg in Nuremberg, was out for 5 months due to knee problems and is back in the squad today against his former club for the first time.

More on that Braunschweig side

Kornetka makes one change compared to the narrow derby defeat in Hannover, as Sane is preferred to Mijatovic. Sane last started two months ago in the 3-2 loss at Bielefeld (Matchday 21, he was among the goalscorers).

More on that Nuremberg side

Head coach Klose selects the same line-up that defeated Kaiserslautern 3-0 last time out. Lubach is back after a yellow card suspension, but has to start on the bench.

Lars Kornetka on facing Nuremberg

"We're focusing on what we want to do well, what our basics are and how we can manage to bring everything together. These are the fundamentals that we want to show out on the pitch."

Miroslav Klose on facing Braunschweig

"Games before and after international breaks are the toughest. We know what to expect at Eintracht on Sunday. With and without the ball, they've come up with quite a few ideas under their new coach."

2:15

Nuremberg climbed into the top half of the table with a comfortable victory over the Red Devils, giving Miroslav Klose's charges an eight-point cushion over the bottom three.
