End of second half
Full-time

+ 4
And that seals it!
What a performance from the substitute Ljubičić! He calmly strokes home Union's fourth to wrap up the win - that's two goals and an assist in an outstanding 30-minute cameo!
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.
90'
+ 1
Into added time
Can Eintracht conjure up an equaliser? Union are doing a good job of seeing out the result so far.
88'
Minor scuffle
There's a bit of argy-bargy after a late challenge, and the referee books a player from each side - Aydin and Aebischer
87'
Big chance!
Sturm gets the ball to Aydin on the right side of the box. He's unmarked, and it's an excellent shooting chance, but he blazes it over the bar! Eintracht may regret missing that opportunity!
83'
Powerful effort
Junior Zé hammers in a shot from outside the box, but it's well blocked by the Union rearguard.
80'
About ten mins to go
Can Eintracht dig deep and make it 3-3?

Both teams take a breath
Since the equaliser, the game has entered a bit of a lull, which is understandable given the pace at which the encounter has been played up to now.
Union draw level again!

Chance for Union
The Berlin side need a goal and they almost had it there, but Frenkert's last-minute intervention - stretching at the back post to take the ball away from a couple of lurking opposition players - saves the day!
The hosts ahead again!

The home side have started the second half strongly, and Raab is forced into punching clear two dangerous crosses from the left in a row.

The action is...
...back underway. Will the second half be as intense as the first?

Half-time
45'
Two added mins
We've got two minutes of injury time to play here in Braunschweig.
43'
Opoku goes close!
Opoku attempts to curl one into the top right-hand corner, but it's only just wide! Nice effort, and the crowd reacts accordingly.
41'
Five mins to half-time
With the interval approaching, this game continues to swing back and forth. While Union have more of the ball now, the hosts looks dangerous every time they break.
36'
Off the bar!
It's fair to say the Lions' heads have not gone down after that leveller - Katterbach looks up and smashes a thunderous effort back off the crossbar. So unlucky!
Union are level!!

Better from the Berliners
Union have had a sustained period of possession for the last couple of minutes, but they can't find a way through a packed home defence.
20'
Struggling to gain a foothold
Union appear shellshocked by the goal, and are having real trouble stringing a few passes together right now.

Eintracht's intense start to the match...

Magic Marie
That's Marie's first goal in just his second DFB Cup match. In his debut in the first round of last season, he provided an assist in a crazy 4-4 draw with Stuttgart.
The Lions take the lead!

That's Braunschweig's first real chance of the match - Raab makes a very good save, tipping Marie's effort over the bar for a corner (which eventually comes to nothing).
