Münster battles to earn a point against Elversberg
The match ends in a 1-1 (1-0) draw between Münster and Elversberg. Mees gave the hosts the lead before half-time, Fellhauer scored the long-overdue equaliser for the Saarland side, who had dominated the match for long stretches. 17 shots on goal to 5 and 65 percent possession speak volumes, but ultimately the hosts saw out the draw with great passion.

Debut goal for Fellhauer
Robin Fellhauer scored his first goal in the second division (in his 38th match), which was also the first shot on target in this game for Elversberg.
86'
Schnellbacher blocked!
Elversberg continue to press: The ball falls to Schnellbacher's feet in the penalty area, but Frenkert throws himself in front of the shot and manages to prevent another goal. Can the away side completely turn the match around now?

1-1 Fellhauer: Equaliser for Elversberg!
It had been on the cards! The visitors once again play their way through to the penalty area, Fellhauer shoots from 20 metres out and curls the ball beautifully into the right corner. No chance for the previously so strong Schenk to save it - 1-1 Elversberg!

Hardly any relief
There are almost handball-like scenes as Elversberg combines around the penalty area. However, their pressure is not currently producing any notable chances. Münster, on the other hand, can hardly get out of their own half, and counter-attacks for relief are few and far between.

Sickinger from distance
The Elversberg player takes a shot from 25 metres out, but the powerful effort whistles past the left post. Schenk would likely have been in position to make the save anyway.
79'
Schnellbacher heads wide
Elversberg are putting on a tremendous performance here - and bring Baum into the game on the right. His cross finds Schnellbacher, who heads the ball wide of the Münster goal.
77'
Final phase
Just under 15 minutes left on the clock in regular time. Can Münster hold on to their narrow lead? Or will their opponents manage to score the now-deserved equaliser?
75'
Grodowski with pace, but without fortune
The substituted Grodowski relieves the pressure with his speed, but fails to find a teammate during a promising counter-attack.

It's all hands on deck in Münster's penalty area: Schenk makes a brilliant save in a one-on-one with Feil, then the Preußen players throw themselves at every ball and just manage to prevent the equaliser.

Frenkert tests Schenk
Elversberg shift back into gear: Frenkert shoots from the edge of the penalty area, but Schenk makes a confident save.
60'
Németh misses the chance for 2-0
What a wild scene: Németh puts pressure on Pinckert at the Elversberg penalty area, the back pass from the visiting defender goes astray and Kristof clears the ball on the goal line straight to Münster's striker. However, he doesn't accept the gift and hits his attempt over the Saarlanders' goal while unmarked.
59'
Schnellbacher receives yellow card
Another caution: Schnellbacher doesn't engage in the challenge in time while pressing Münster's defence and is shown a yellow card.
58'
Elversberg presses
Damar whips in the corner from the left side into the six-yard box, but the ball goes past friend and foe alike. Asllani tries to force the ball over the line but fails to do so.
56'
Sickinger misses with header
Neubauer's corner from the right side finds Sickinger, who heads the ball wide of the left post from eight metres out, despite being unmarked.

Németh enters the game
This set-piece was the Icelander's last action in the match - Németh is now on as striker in his place!

Friðjónsson dangerous
The free kick from the right side becomes dangerous: After a flick-on, the ball reaches Friðjónsson, whose first-time shot goes just wide of the right post.

Yellow card for Neubauer

Familiar scene
The visitors are trying to find success through structured build-up play, while Münster aims to counter-attack from a compact defence.

Penalty?
Makridis goes down the left side to the byline and crosses the ball onto Baum's arm. Referee Haslberger waves it off - and maintains this opinion even after consulting with the video assistant.

Thanks to Mees: Münster ahead at half-time
After 45 minutes, the score between Preußen Münster and SV Elversberg is 1-0. The visitors from Saarland celebrated Schnellbacher's goal in vain (13'), then Mees put the hosts in front (20'). Although SVE has more possession, they can't convert it into chances against the newly-promoted side's well-organised defence.

Four minutes of stoppage time!

Friðjónsson also booked
In midfield, Friðjónsson goes in far too aggressively against Pinckert - referee Haslberger immediately brandishes the yellow card. The Icelander can consider himself lucky to escape with just a booking.
40'
Preißinger blocked
Münster combines on the right to move forward, setting up Preißinger near the penalty area. His shot from 20 metres out is blocked by the Elversberg defence, and the resulting corner is harmless.

Friðjónsson down
Another high ball into the visitors' penalty area, where Friðjónsson goes down in a challenge with Rohr. No penalty, says referee Haslberger - but the Münster striker needs treatment first.

Makridis narrowly misses
The Elversberg defence unintentionally flicks on a long ball into Makridis' path - the provider of the assist for the 1-0 shoots from the left. Just wide!
30'
Sickinger tries his luck
The next attempt from the Saarland side: Sickinger cuts in from the right into the penalty area, but puts his shot from 14 metres wide of the target, hitting the side netting.

1-0 Mees: Münster takes the lead!
Makridis does well to free himself in midfield and serves Mees with a sharp through ball. Mees turns past Pinckert in a one-on-one and immediately gets his shot away. Kristof is almost there but can't prevent the ball from hitting the back of the net. 1-0 Münster!

Damar from distance
The offensive player cuts in from the left side towards the centre, but slips as he attempts to shoot and misses the target.

Preißinger holds Asllani and receives the first yellow card of the match.
13'
Almost an opener!
After a cross from Neubauer from the left corner of the penalty area, the ball lands at Schnellbacher, who slots it in from close range. However, the flag is immediately raised: The Elversberg striker was half a metre offside.
10'
Too close to the goal
After a short corner, Kirkeskov delivers the ball into the middle, but Kristof securely plucks the ball out of the air.

Play resumes for now
Rohr gives a thumbs up and is back in the match. Nevertheless, three substitutes are warming up for the visitors.

Bad collision
Rohr and Mees clash heads. Rohr is bleeding from the nose and is escorted off the pitch. There's movement on the visitors' bench.
Kick-off!
