90'

Into the arms of Krahl
Nollenberger crosses from the left into the centre, where Mathisen directs the ball with a header from twelve yards out towards the top right. The attempt is too weak, however, and Krahl holds onto the ball comfortably.

Nollenberger is limping
The forward needs treatment and limps to the touchline afterwards. He will be able to continue in these final minutes.
84'
Mathisen with a header
Atik whips a free kick in from the right, and at the far post Mathisen rises to meet the ball with a header from 10 yards out, and loops it towards the top right corner. Krahl is equal to it and tips the ball over the bar with one hand.
82'
Double substitution for the visitors
Schramm and Skyttä make way for Chernev and Berisha.

Ten minutes to go
Can Magdeburg manage to get back into this one? At the moment, there is little indication of a comeback from the hosts being on the cards, as Lautern are well organised defensively and are barely giving anything away.
74'
Emreli also in the notebook
The substitute goes in late in midfield against Atik and stamps on his foot. The referee shows the yellow card once again.
74'
Double change for Lautern
Wekesser and Ritter make way for Joly and Emreli.

The next card
Asta pulls Nollenberger down by his shirt in midfield. That is a clear tactical foul, and accordingly a yellow card is shown.
71'
First booking of the match
Atik loses the ball in midfield against Asta and Skyttä and then fouls the latter, earning a yellow card.
66'
Magdeburg made to sweat
If they lose, the hosts' survival depends on results elsewhere. However, as Braunschweig and Düsseldorf are currently behind, Magdeburg are two points above the relegation play-off spot and, as things stand, are safe.
64'
Ritter to the rescue
Ritter has now scored seven out of seven penalties in Bundesliga 2! The goal was also the 300th away goal for the Red Devils in the second tier.

Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.
58'
Magdeburg pushing for the lead
The hosts have been clearly more active in this second half and are doing considerably more in the game than Lautern. Given their clear-cut chances a few minutes ago, a lead for the home side would be well deserved by now.

52'
Double chance for the hosts
Zukowski cuts in from the right inside the penalty area and shoots from 15 yards out. Krahl gets to it and parries it safely to the side. The striker then gets another touch on the ball and shoots from the right from ten yards out, and this time the ball whistles just narrowly past the post.
51'
Big chance for an opener!
A huge chance for the home side! Zukowski is free on the right side of the box and goes one-on-one with Krahl, but he only hits the keeper from six yards out.
50'
Can Zukowski still claim the Golden Boot?
The Magdeburg striker has scored 17 goals in the season so far, but is currently two goals behind Futkeu of Greuther Fürth.
49'
Next change for Magdeburg
Stalmach is down and is having problems with his right thigh. He signals that he cannot continue, and Krempicki comes on for him.
49'
Substitution
48'
Magdeburg looking for the lead
Michel plays a through ball forward to the left towards Nollenberger, who delivers the ball flat and sharp into the centre at full pace. Zukowski is lurking, but Rasmussen is already alert and clears the cross.
46'
We're back in action
The referee gets the second half started, with neither side making any changes at the break.
Kick-off!

45'

Two more minutes
The referee indicates two minutes of stoppage time.
45'
Gyamfi gets stuck into Stalmach
The defender jumps into the back of Stalmach during an aerial duel and takes the Magdeburg player out completely. Stalmach subsequently stays down on the ground in visible pain, but the referee waves play on.
43'
Wekesser with a header
Asta crosses from the right into the centre, Wekesser makes a run into the box and, under pressure from an opponent, gets to a header from six yards out out. He cannot get a proper connection on the ball, allowing Reimann to collect it with ease.
42'
Gyamfi stands his ground
The defender is pressed by Zukowski near the right touchline, with the way back to goalkeeper Krahl also blocked. The centre-back stays composed and skilfully works his way out of the press.
41'
Another injury stoppage
Hanslik receives an elbow to the face from Mathisen during an aerial duel. The Kaiserslautern player goes down, but is able to continue after a brief stoppage.
40'
Five minutes to go
The first half is slowly drawing to a close. Will either of the two sides manage to land an opener before the break?
39'
Musonda has to come off

Substitution
38'

31'
Reimann to the rescue
Wekesser plays the ball flat from the left into the centre, where Hanslik is lurking and takes the pass first time from a central position 14 metres out. He aims for the bottom left corner, but Reimann dives down and saves well.
29'
No rush for Magdeburg
Lautern are trying to lure Magdeburg forward, but the hosts remain composed and continue to patiently probe for gaps in the final third. They do not necessarily need to push for the lead, as even with this draw they are, as things stand, safe from relegation.
27'
Tricky one for Zukowski
Nollenberger has been the standout player for Magdeburg so far, and once again he drives the ball dangerously infield from his right flank into the penalty area. A half-volleyed cross lands at the near post where Zukowski is lurking, but the top scorer of the hosts cannot quite bring the ball under control and get a shot on goal.
26'
Michel goes close
Nollenberger does well to beat two men on the right flank and plays the ball low into the centre. Michel runs onto it in the middle and, in a battle against Kunze, steers the ball just wide of the right post from six yards out.
22'
Free-kick from the right
Bockhorn is fouled by Gyamfi, and Atik delivers the resulting set piece high into the box. However, Lautern are able to clear the danger.
20'
Lautern on the ball
The visitors are now stringing some good passes together through their own ranks and are enjoying a longer spell of possession. Going forward, however, they cannot find any gaps.
17'
Slippery pitch
The players of both sides are having considerable difficulty keeping their footing today and keep slipping. The pitch was certainly given a good watering beforehand.
17'
No danger
Reimann is alert to a cross from the left and plucks the ball safely out of the air.
15'
Quarter of an hour gone
Magdeburg have been the clearly dominant side so far and are pushing for the lead, but without creating too many openings so far.
0:21
Chance for Atik
11'
Too soft
Nollenberger plays the ball forward into the right side of the box, finding the overlapping run of Zukowski. The striker shoots immediately in full stride from 15 yards out, but doesn't make clean contact with the ball. Krahl is at the near post and collects the ball with ease.
9'
Gnaka drops deep to collect the ball
The midfielder keeps dropping deep into the build-up play to collect the ball, acting like a quarterback of sorts.
7'
Patient Magdeburg
The hosts have had an enormous amount of possession in these opening minutes and are patiently looking for gaps in the final third. Lautern have so far primarily focused on maintaining a solid defensive shape.
4'
Krahl slips
Robinson plays the ball back to the keeper, who slips just before receiving it. Atik is lurking, but at the last moment the goalkeeper manages to clear the ball away.
3'
Calm build-up play
The hosts are keeping possession in their own ranks and calmly building up from the back. Lautern are not pressing particularly high up the pitch and are allowing Magdeburg time on the ball for now.
2'
First shot of the match
Hanslik gets a central shot on goal from 20 yards out, and his attempt flies two yards over the middle of the crossbar.
1'
The match is underway
The away side kick off in their black kits, while the home side take to the pitch all in blue.
Kick-off!
The teams take to the pitch
Both teams are now entering the pitch, kick-off is imminent.
Brilliant atmosphere
Both sets of supporters are creating a magnificent atmosphere here. The mood is more than worthy of a final matchday!
How it stands
We have a fairly straightforward situation here in Magdeburg. For Lautern, there is nothing left to play for, other than to bow out of this season with dignity and a solid performance. The hosts, on the other hand, are still under considerable pressure, as they could, in the worst case, still slip down to the relegation play-off spot. However, should Magdeburg take at least a point today, they will be safe.
