Chances fading
Düsseldorf are no longer threatening. Magdeburg are closer to making it 3-0 than the visitors are to scoring a consolation goal.
83'
Won't count
Atik delivers a free-kick from the left near the touchline. Stalmach rises in the six-yard box to beat Alexandropoulos and head the ball off the underside of the crossbar, but the flag immediately goes up as the substitute is offside.
82'
Corner from the right
Atik delivers the ball high into the middle but it sails through the centre past friend and foe.
79'
No way through
Düsseldorf cannot create any danger in the final third during this phase. At the moment everything points to a home victory for Magdeburg.

Next substitution for Düsseldorf
Appelkamp's day is done, Sauck comes on to replace him.
72'
Yellow card for Zukowski
The striker goes down on the left side of the penalty area but it's judged as a dive. He gets his fifth booking of the season and will miss next week's match against Nuremberg.

Substitution
70'
Into the final phase
Around 20 minutes left to play here and currently Düsseldorf are applying pressure. The Rhinelanders want to score the next goal and still believe in a comeback.
68'
Itten tries his luck
The striker holds the ball well with his back to goal and then looks for a finish from the right-hand side of the penalty area. He aims for the bottom left corner, but Reimann dives down again and securely gathers the ball.
65'
Reimann saves
Substitute Alexandropoulos immediately makes an impact and takes aim from 17 metres out in a central position. He targets the top right corner, but Reimann stretches well to tip the curling effort over the crossbar. The subsequent corner from the right side poses no danger.
62'
Triple substitution for the visitors
Celar, Zimmermann and Alexandropoulos replace Ljubicic, Heyer and Breithaupt. Can the fresh legs provide new impetus?

Hits the post
Itten shoots from the right and hammers the ball against the near post. But then the flag goes up because the striker was clearly offside beforehand.
60'
Hour gone
Magdeburg continue to have complete control of the proceedings and are not letting anything slip. Fortuna still have 30 minutes left to start a comeback.
57'
Shame for Nollenberger
The Magdeburg man has scored three times this season, but always away from home. Nollenberger scored his last home goal on Matchday 34 of the previous season, against Düsseldorf.
55'
Offside
Nollenberger crosses from the left channel. Michel makes a run to the near post but doesn't get a touch ahead of the onrushing Kastenmeier, who ends up missing the ball. But the goal is checked, with Michel in an offside position when Nollenberger delivered the cross and then actively interfering with play.

Düsseldorf stepping up
The visitors are now positioned higher up the pitch and pressing earlier than in the first half. However, good chances for the away side are still yet to materialise.
51'
Zukowski in pain
Egouli fouls the division's top scorer in midfield, but he escapes a booking.
49'
Bockhorn ahead of Heyer
El Azzouzi looks for Heyer on the right side, but the pass is a bit too long. Bockhorn cleverly positions his body between the ball and opponent to stop the attack.
48'
Almost a goal back!
Reimann has to dive to the bottom left corner to keep out Mathisen's attempted clearance. Good reaction from the Magdeburg goalkeeper.
46'
The ball is rolling again
Referee Wagner blows the whistle for the second half. Both teams continue without any changes for now.
Kick-off!

Will Düsseldorf end Magdeburg's record?
For the eighth time this season, Sander's side ahead at half-time, so far resulting in six wins and one draw. The statistics don't exactly give Düsseldorf much hope for a comeback in the second half.

Musonda shoots
The left-back has a go from 18 metres out, aiming for the right corner. Kastenmeier stretches and safely parries it away.

One minute of added time
The referees signal an extra 60 seconds in the first half.
43'
Suso with the corner
The Düsseldorf player delivers the ball high from the left into the box. Atik is alert at the near post and clears it confidently with his head.
40'
Five minutes to go
The first half is slowly coming to an end. Can Fortuna manage to score a goal before the break to reduce the deficit?
39'
Atik doesn't connect
Bockhorn crosses from the right. Atik runs onto it in the middle and rises for a header from five metres out but doesn't connect at all well and fails to get it on target. A good chance to make it 3-0 if he'd got that right.
37'
Tight angle
Suso crosses from the left. Heyer wins the aerial duel against Musonda at the far post and nods the ball from a tight angle towards the near post. Reimann is alert and holds onto the header securely.
34'
Good from Bockhorn
The right-back draws a foul against Appelkamp in midfield, so Magdeburg remain in possession.
31'
Well over
Zukowski cuts inside from the left against Egouli and then looks for a finish from 18 metres out. His curling effort towards the top right corner goes about three metres over the crossbar.
29'
No danger
Atik delivers a high curling corner from the left. Kastenmeier rushes off his line and plucks the ball securely out of the air.
29'
No foul
Musonda drives the ball forward down the left flank. Heyer rushes in and dispossesses the Magdeburg player fairly. However, at the cost of a corner.
27'
Magdeburg a step ahead
The hosts needs just over 12 seconds to win the ball back after losing possession. For the visitors, it's a different story, taking significantly longer at over 20 seconds.
27'
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).
25'
Long ball
Under pressure from the opposition, Reimann boots the ball far forward, looking for Zukowski on the halfway line. The striker jumps for the header but can't reach the ball, and so Düsseldorf regain possession.
Where to now for Fortuna?

Quarter of an hour gone
Both teams are well into the match. Düsseldorf look unfazed by the early deficit and are holding up well. So far, it's a very watchable second division match.
13'
Zukowski goes down
The striker has the ball in a central position outside the box and then goes down against Egouli. Referee Wagner is well positioned and allows play to continue.
11'
Collision
Michel and Breithaupt both go up for a header in midfield and clash heads. Fortunately, both players get back on their feet relatively quickly and can continue without requiring treatment.
10'
Blistering start
Magdeburg has never scored an earlier goal in Bundesliga 2. Their only other goal in the second minute at this level was at Kiel in August 2023.
9'
Düsseldorf dust themselves off
The visitors have reacted well to the early concession and are eager to respond quickly. At the moment, Magdeburg can't get forward and keep losing possession.
7'
Itten with a header
Iyoha crosses from the left. Itten is lurking in the centre and doesn't quite connect properly with the header and he nods the ball well wide of the right post.
4'
Nearly 2-0!
Magdeburg have raced out of the blocks. Nollenberger charges past Egouli and tries a chip from right of centre, but Kastenmeier rushes out and makes himself big to prevent a second goal.
