Full-time: Nuremberg 0-4 Magdeburg
The final score is ultimately more decisive than the match itself suggested. Miroslav Klose's side had very good chances to equalise after the restart, but failed to do so and ended up on the end of Magdeburg's joint-biggest win in Bundesliga 2.

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.
Shot speed
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.
Distance to Goal

The striker is trying everything to get his team back into the game. He only manages to get a toe on a cross from Janisch, which poses no problem for Reimann.

FCN without any major scoring opportunities
The hosts haven't been very visible in the last few minutes. To get any points here, they would need to find the back of the net soon.

El Hankouri nearly scores a third!
The midfielder finishes off a cross towards the FCN goal, but Reichert gets down low and manages to save it.

What else can FCN offer?
The home side were on the verge of an equaliser. Now they find themselves 2-0 down. Can the Bavarians still get a foot in the door?
65'
Lead extended!
Burcu intervenes during Nuremberg's good spell. Nollenberger, who has just been substituted on, plays the ball from the right wing to Burcu, who cuts inside at the edge of the box and then fires a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner. Reichert can only watch the ball go past him.

Improved xG
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).

Klose's team talk showing effect
Nuremberg are now doing much more for the game, creating chances almost every minute. Can Magdeburg hold on?

Reichert saves again
The subsequent attack also poses a threat as four Magdeburg players suddenly run at only two Nuremberg defenders. Musonda goes for the shot but is once again denied by Reichert.

Villadsen breaks through
The full-back receives the ball after a switch of play and easily marches through the Magdeburg defence, but his shot goes slightly over the bar.

Janisch immediately gets involved
The new man tries to speed up the game on the left flank, but pushes the ball a bit too far ahead of himself.

Magdeburg lead 1-0, with the goal from a well-executed play. The hosts woke up a bit towards the end of the half and increased their pressure on goal. The second half promises to offer plenty of excitement.

Schleimer!
Castrop lays it off to the centre for the striker, whose first touch isn't good and then doesn't strike the ball cleanly. That could have been a great opportunity!

Overturned by VAR
Schleimer plays a one-two with Pick in the penalty area. The striker can't control the return pass as he's stopped by Hugonet. Brych originally points to the spot before going over to review the scene and deciding it wasn't a penalty.

An xSaves value of 1.8 shows how well he has saved shots at his goal so far. The first from Amaechi could have gone in, for instance.

El-Zein sends the striker into the penalty area again, but Reichert manages to parry the shot from a tight angle for a corner.

Out of nowhere!
Kaars is sent on his way again before laying it off to Amaechi past Reichert. The Nuremberg keeper can parry the first shot, but the rebound ends up in the net. Initially called offside, but the video assistant corrects the decision and allows the goal to stand.

League comeback
Today's referee is none other than Bundesliga record holder Felix Brych (344 Bundesliga games). This is his first league match in professional football since his cruciate ligament rupture last year. The 49-year-old previously took charge of the DFB Cup first-round match between Aalen and Schalke.
One Magdeburg alteration as well
Jason Ceka starts for Magdeburg for the first time this season. Connor Krempicki drops to the bench again in the visitors' sole change.
Magdeburg starting XI
Reimann - Heber, Mathisen, Hugonet - El-Zein, Musonda, Gnaka, El Hankouri - Amaechi, Kaars, Ceka
One change for Nuremberg
