Full-time: Magdeburg 1-6 Braunschweig

Braunschweig celebrate a perfect start to the new Bundesliga 2 season with a 6-1 win in Magdeburg. The visitors, particularly in the first half, ruthlessly exploit the large gaps in Magdeburg's defence and already lead 4-0 at the break. The red card for Bockhorn made the task even harder for the hosts - who now sit bottom of the league.

Five Minutes of Injury Time

Five additional minutes have been added on. Braunschweig are on the verge of a convincing opening-day victory, while Magdeburg are merely waiting for the final whistle.
84'

Magdeburg longing for the final whistle

Braunschweig remain the side that still poses an attacking threat. Magdeburg have barely anything going forward at this point.
80'

Reimann with a stunning save

Sané tries his luck from distance shortly after coming on as a substitute and puts the ball dangerously on target. Reimann flies towards the top left corner and makes a brilliant save.

Braunschweig keep the ball moving

Braunschweig are playing very patiently against the deep-lying Magdeburg side, keeping the ball circulating through in their own ranks for long periods. With such a commanding lead, the visitors have no need to force anything.
69'

Hosts sitting in

Magdeburg are sitting much deeper in the second half and are no longer pressing Braunschweig as high up the pitch. On average, they now need just under 23 seconds to win the ball back after losing possession.

Yellow card for Hyryläinen

The frustration at Magdeburg is clearly palpable. Hyryläinen goes in hard in a challenge on the touchline and is shown a straight yellow card for it.
61'

Flick gets on the scoresheet!

The Braunschweig man completes the half dozen! This time Braunschweig score from a corner. The delivery comes in sharply in front of goal and Magdeburg cannot clear decisively. Flick gets to the second ball and heads it into the completely open left corner. It's 6-1 to the away side!

Magdeburg continue to be error-prone

The home side continue to make many mistakes in their build-up play, repeatedly inviting Braunschweig to create chances. The visitors have, however, taken their foot off the gas somewhat.
58'

Yellow card for Flick

Flick stops Iyoha at the halfway line by pulling his shirt, cutting off Magdeburg's attack. He receives a yellow card for the tactical foul.
56'

Zukowski squanders a huge chance

Zukowski runs in from the left flank with plenty of space and bears down on goal. However, his shot goes wide to the right of the goal. There was clearly much more on offer for Magdeburg there.
55'

Braunschweig remain on the front foot

Braunschweig continue to play boldly forward despite their commanding lead. The confidence within the away side is naturally enormous after five goals.

Braunschweig have a fifth!

The away side immediately restore the old margin! Di Benedetto receives the ball in the penalty area and lifts it beautifully over Reimann into the far corner. Just moments after Magdeburg's goal, the score is 5-1.

Half-time: Magdeburg 0-4 Braunschweig

The visitors have a convincing 4-0 lead, having shown themselves to be ice-cold in front of goal. Magdeburg have enjoyed plenty of possession but remain toothless going forward. The red card for Bockhorn compounded their struggles further as they have a mountain to climb in the second half.

Braunschweig go close again

After a scramble in the penalty area, Flick gets lucky with the ball and suddenly has another good chance. From around 10 yards out, however, he puts his shot over the bar.

RED CARD!

Bockhorn plays the ball too far ahead and then goes into the challenge with a high-footed, high-risk tackle. He does not make full contact with his opponent, but the referee immediately shows the red card. Magdeburg must continue the match with ten men.
30'

Good chance for Magdeburg

After a cross, the ball falls to Atik, who lays it off high to Michel. Michel gets a shot off from a few yards out but puts the ball flies well over the bar. There was more in that for the hosts.

Urbich has another goal!

The Braunschweig forward has a brace! Once more, a single pass is enough to completely dismantle the Magdeburg defence. A long ball from the halfway line finds Urbich in stride, who runs in on Reimann one-on-one and, just like his first goal, casually slots the ball into the bottom left corner. 3-0 to Braunschweig!

They've done it on the counter again! A single pass in behind is enough to completely dismantle the Magdeburg defence. Urbich is clean through, bearing down on Reimann one-on-one, and is able to coolly slot the ball into the bottom left corner. 2-0 to the away side!

Again Braunschweig switch it quickly after winning the ball back. Sturm drives forward strongly with a dribble and moves into the penalty area, but does not strike the ball cleanly and sends his shot over the bar.

Opoku with the breakthough!

A strong counter-attack puts the away side in front! Marie plays a perfect through ball behind the Magdeburg defensive line to the right flank. Opoku has plenty of time and space in the penalty area and slots the ball from a tight angle past Reimann into the bottom right corner. Superb stuff.

Braunschweig team news

While the home side have primarily reshuffled at the back, the same applies to Braunschweig up front. Centre-forward Jan Urbich and left-winger Yann Sturm are tasked with scoring goals, with Samuele Di Benedetto providing creative impetus from midfield. These are the three new additions to Eintracht's starting XI.

Magdeburg team news

Alongside the two new centre-backs, the hosts also field new signings Iyoha and returning player Moritz-Broni Kwarteng. Kwarteng played his Bundesliga 2 season to date in 2022/23, scoring ten goals for Magdeburg.

New centre-back pairing

Mathisen and Hugonet are gone, but Magdeburg have Paul Jaeckel and Anselmo Garcia MacNulty as a new central defensive partnership.

Eintracht hold narrow advantage

Braunschweig have won seven of the sides’ 16 games down the years, drawing four and losing five. Four of those defeats, however, have come in Bundesliga 2 since the teams’ promotion from the third tier at the end of the 2021/2022 campaign. Magdeburg’s 2-0 triumph on Matchday 17 that season was their first-ever victory over Eintracht.
