Philippe plays a one-two with Gómez in the box and ultimately only has to slot it home himself. Is there still something to play for here in this match?

Half time in Braunschweig!
Thanks to the early opening goal, the away team is leading 1-0. Since then it has been a game characterized mainly by turnovers and few chances. Magdeburg is closer to making it 2-0 than Braunschweig is to equalizing. It will be interesting to see which direction the game takes in the second half.

Both teams with few passing moves
Many ball losses are already happening in midfield, which is why so far there have been few chances on both sides.

Unimaginative in play
Whenever there is any semblance of danger, it results from FCM losing the ball. Braunschweig is finding no creative openings whatsoever in this match.

xGoals justify the scoreline
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

New idea works
The early pressing by the Lions is bearing fruit. In the last few minutes, the ball losses of FCM in the build-up play have been piling up, but so far the Braunschweigers have not been able to make anything count from it.

Magdeburg takes the lead!
Musonda marches down the left side all the way to the goal line and puts in a half-high cross into the middle. With no marking, Kaars is able to poke the ball over the line with his knee. That was too easy!

What Titz says about Eintracht Braunschweig:
"We have had a long training week in which we were able to prepare well for the opponent. Braunschweig brings high intensity and physicality."
What Scherning says about FCM:
"We need a compact and good defensive performance to take away Magdeburg's strengths. They like to look for one-on-one and two-on-one duels, which we want to prevent. For that we need the absolute willingness to also win the 50/50 battles and thus the decisive ones for us. We don't want an open exchange of blows on the pitch, but need to have control at the right moments in the game."
