Full-time: Osnabrück 0-3 Magdeburg

That's it! Osnabrück were noticeably more determined in the second half than in the first and had several chances to get on the scoresheet. With a bit of luck and plenty of skill, the visitors kept a clean sheet and were even able to add a third with a counter-attack to make it a resounding 3-0 win.

He has to score!!

Meißner suddenly finds himself completely through on goal and goes one-on-one with Reimann, who manages to parry the shot. In the follow-up, Riesselmann gets the ball and tests Reimann once more, who turns the powerful effort behind for a corner.

Too inaccurate

Wagner whips a cross into the box towards Riesselmann, whose header goes well wide of the goal.

Riesselmann waits too long

Meißner sets up Riesselmann brilliantly. The youngster misses several chances to shoot inside the penalty area and ultimately loses the ball to an opponent. What a shame for Osnabrück with the clock ticking!

Nadjombe comes off and is replaced by Tachie.

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.

8 %

Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

105.3 km/h

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.

Good effort

A cross is unintentionally flicked on by Hyryläinen to Riesselmann, who takes the ball first time. The shot, however, goes well over the bar.

Yellow card

Nadjombe goes in late on Kammerbauer and receives the first yellow card of the match.

Hosts hunt a way back

In the second half, Osnabrück have been enjoying a lot of possession. Magdeburg are lying in wait to pounce on the break and want to seal the game with a third goal.

64'

Osnabrück appeal for a penalty

After a cross, the ball strikes Nollenberger's upper arm in the penalty area. However, referee Justin Hasmann deems it insufficient to award a penalty.

61'

Zukowski seeks a third

Zukowski receives the ball in the penalty area, doesn't hesitate and shoots. No danger for Krumrey.

59'

Osnabrück off-target

Wagner holds the ball up well in the opposition penalty area, turns on the spot and shoots. The ball zips about two yards wide of the goal.

59'

An unfamiliar feeling

Osnabrück find themselves behind in a league match in front of their home fans for the first time in 2026. Bundesliga 2 is clearly a different proposition for them. A two-goal deficit at half-time at home is not something that occurred once for them during the entire third division season of 2025/26.

56'

That one hurt

Kammerbauer catches Iyoha on the heel and brings the winger down. After a brief moment to catch his breath, play continues.

54'

Next chance

After a set piece for the hosts, Magdeburg quickly switch play and moves the ball via Atik to Zukowski, who marches towards the penalty area and shoots. Krumrey is on hand and manages to parry.

53'

Nobody like Nollenberger

Nollenberger not only scored twice, he also won an impressive 64% of his duels and was involved in 50 touches. His 84th Bundesliga 2 appearances is certainly one of his best.

0:32

VAR overturns third goal

Osnabrück press high and are then caught on the counter. Iyoha plays the ball from his own half into the channel to Zukowski, who is away and running towards goal. In front of the net he keeps his cool and slots it in. However, the VAR intervenes and disallows the goal due to an offside.

Half-time: Osnabrück 0-2 Magdeburg

Magdeburg have been in complete control here in the first half and deservedly lead 2-0 thanks to a brace from Nollenberger. Osnabrück will need to seriously step up in the second half if the hosts want to take anything from this match.

0:27

Big chance to reduce the deficit

A quickly taken free kick puts Meißner in a promising shooting position inside the penalty area, but his shot goes just wide of the left post. That was nearly a goal back for Osnabrück.

Half-time

43'

Aerial dominance

Osnabrück counter through Kopacz, who holds the ball up well in the opposition's half and can subsequently only be stopped by a foul. The resulting cross is headed clear by the Magdeburg defence.

41'

Good attempt

Badjie is fouled just outside the penalty area by Hyryläinen, giving the home side a very good free-kick position. Badjie takes it on himself and curls the ball about a yard over the goal.

39'

Krumrey stops a third

Atik tries his luck from distance once more, but the Osnabrück goalkeeper has no trouble dealing with the shot.

35'

What a strike!

Nollenberger completes his brace! Atik plays a sensational pass over the defence into the run of Nollenberger, who takes the ball out of the air and drives it straight into the far corner to double Magdeburg's lead!

Hard challenge

Fabinski slides into Mergner and is cautioned by the referee. Another one of those from him will likely result in a yellow card.

Off target

Atik plucks up the courage and simply lets fly from around 25 metres out. The ball goes about a yard wide of the left post.

25'

Magdeburg go in front!

The impressive Nollenberger scores a wonderful goal to make it 1-0! After a throw-in, Müller plays a no-look pass to the full-back, who lets fly from the left outside the penalty area and finds the far corner beautifully - for a deserved lead for the away side.

Nice idea

Atik plays a corner towards the edge of the penalty area to Michel, who takes the ball directly on the volley. In the end, an Osnabrück player is in the way and manages to block it.

Keenly contested start

Both teams have been giving their all in the opening quarter of an hour.

0:26

What a pair of chances!

Nadjombe delivers a pinpoint cross to Nollenberger, who wants to direct the ball into the far corner with a header. Krumrey is on hand, however, and clears the ball just in time. In the end, Zukowski even has another chance, but he can only hit the post. What a sequence of play!

14'

First shot

Iyoha brings the ball down well, cuts inside and aims for the far corner. The ball flies well wide to the left.

12'

Now Osnabrück threaten

Meißner cleverly leaves two opponents behind and plays the ball on to Kopacz, who lays it off directly to Badjie. In the end, Magdeburg manages to clear the situation.

Strong Tackle

Once again Nollenberger is sent through on the left flank, but Müller throws himself into the challenge with everything he has and is able to clear the danger.

Too imprecise

Following the first corner of the match, Nollenberger whips the ball into the box, but Krumrey has everything under control and catches the cross.

Too much on that one

Nollenberger advances down the left flank towards the byline but plays the ball too far ahead of himself. Play continues with a goal kick.

Kick-off

Magdeburg get the match underway.

Kick-off!

Another Magdeburg debut

Nadjombe also makes his first start in the 2. Bundesliga today, having come on as a substitute six times in 2025/26 and also having been brought on as a substitute on the first matchday of this season.

First start

20-year-old Leon Mergner came on as a substitute for his Bundesliga 2 debut on Matchday 1. Today, the homegrown talent is in the starting XI in Germany's second tier for the first time.

More on that Magdeburg team

The visitors make three changes to their starting line-up following their 6-1 defeat to Braunschweig on the opening matchday. Nadjombe, Müller and Mergner replace Bockhorn (suspended), Jaeckel (bench) and Kwarteng (not in the squad).

More on that Osnabrück team

Just one change in their first home clash on their return to Bundesliga 2. Faber drops to the bench today and Tony Lesueur comes in to replace him in the starting eleven.

Herbert Bockhorn suspended

The 31-year-old must serve a two-match ban following his red card against Braunschweig, missing the fixture in Osnabrück as well as the next match against Holstein Kiel.

Osnabrück bring in experience

The hosts have strengthened their squad with Daniel Kofi Kyereh. The attacker previously played under Schultz at St. Pauli.

Petrik Sander on facing Osnabrück

"The situation is clear. We have made mistakes recently and misjudged certain situations, but the important thing is to recognise them and work through them accordingly. We know that on Saturday against Osnabrück we have a tough match ahead of us and a number of things need to go differently."

Timo Schultz on facing Magdeburg

"We are looking forward to our first home match. Magdeburg are a great opponent; they have great players. Especially up front with Zukowski and Atik - they are truly some of the best of the best in the league. My lads are up for it, they are fired up, and they have shaken off the match [against Heidenheim]. We were naturally also able to take a few positives away from it. Now, we're kicking off at home at the Bremer Brücke and we absolutely want to win."

A decade in waiting

Magdeburg are unbeaten in seven competitive games against Osnabrück, winning six and drawing one of those fixtures. The hosts' last victory over the east German club came almost exactly 10 years ago - on 13 August 2016 - when they triumphed 3-2 on home soil.

2:14

Watch: Magdeburg 1-6 Eintracht Braunschweig - last time out

Magdeburg got their campaign off to a nightmarish start as they suffered a heavy defeat to on-song Braunschweig. Herbert Bockhorn's first-half dismissal did little to help the Blues on Matchday 1.

2:14

Watch: Heidenheim 4-3 Osnabrück - last time out

Osnabrück twice fought back to equalise against Frank Schmidt's men, but the relegated Bundesliga side proved too hot to handle for the visitors in a seven-goal thriller at the Voith-Arena.

Magdeburg 1-1 Osnabrück - previous meeting

Magdeburg and Osnabrück haven't met since 28 April 2024, when they played out a 1-1 draw on Matchday 31 of the 2023/24 Bundesliga 2 campaign. A penalty apiece ensured the points were shared, leaving the visitors seven points adrift of safety with three games to go - a margin which proved too great to overturn.
