One of the best leaves the pitch. Conteh gave an outstanding performance. He is also the player of the match so far with an assist and a goal.

Now Magdeburg lets the guests run. With a clean flat pass, the 1st FCM doesn’t give its opponents a chance to win the ball.
49
19:03
It’s impressive how sovereign Magdeburg acts. The home team didn’t have too many chances here. But the two opportunities that came up were taken cold. This is definitely two-league.

Tooor for 1. FC Magdeburg, 2:1 by Sirlord Conteh
1. FC Magdeburg is just cold as ice. Ceka plays a wonderful pass from the half field into Conteh’s run. The striker approaches Batz and deliberately pushes the ball into the far corner with his right. You just can’t give the hosts an inch of space.

Conclusion
The first half between Magdeburg and Saarbrücken was really fun. The top game of the 3rd league keeps what it promised. Both teams went at an extremely high pace from the start. The guests, in particular, started boldly and created a number of opportunities. But then Magdeburg scored with a beautifully played counterattack. Saarbrücken was not shocked at all. The 1. FCS continued with the same commitment. The superiority did not lead to great opportunities. A failed flank then ensured the deserved compensation. Towards the end of the first half, the game got heated again. That was an extremely entertaining 45 minutes.

18:41
Müller plays an outstanding long pass from the defense into Conteh’s run. The striker brings the ball down, but then it bounces and lands in the goalie’s arms. Conteh is annoyed by this inaccuracy.
43
18:39
Now the 1st FCM also makes an offside goal. But Ceka was so clearly in the forbidden zone on the pass from Atik that it wasn’t really exciting.
42
18:38
Again a Magdeburger is sent into the dangerous zone with a through ball. The flag goes up again. The Saarbrücken offside trap has worked so far.
39
18:35
Ceka is sent on a trip with a great long ball. The substitute does not quite reach the ball because Batz is out in time. Then the flag goes up.
36
18:32
The compensation for Saarbrücken is only logical due to the superiority. But it is also significant that the goal comes from a cross that does not find a teammate. The guests play well forward, but the last pass is just too imprecise.
33
18:29
Tooor for 1. FC Saarbrücken, 1: 1 by Julian Günther-Schmidt
Saarbrücken is now being rewarded for the great effort. Günther-Schmidt has too much space to cross in the left half field. He brings the ball to the far post on the right. Actually, the cross is once again too imprecise, but a Magdeburg defender pulls back at the last moment instead of clarifying. This surprises his keeper. The ball gets longer and longer and goes into the goal at the far post. That was happy, but not undeserved. Goalkeeper Reimann is not to blame.
32
18:28
Scheu gets too much space halfway to the right in front of the Magdeburg penalty area and just pulls away. His powerful shot flutters towards the right angle. Reimann is there. But to be on the safe side, he fends off the ball with his fists.
30
18:26
Atik is everywhere in Magdeburg. The top scorer helps build up the game in midfield, he brings the set pieces in the middle and he was also the one who was there at the right moment in the penalty area.
29
18:25
Grimaldi puts the ball back on the right corner of the penalty area to the approaching Scheu. The number ten pulls right off. His shot goes over it.
28
18:24
The 1st FCS has had to be chalked up to being too imprecise in the last third. It’s a game at eye level up to the penalty area. The difference so far has been the playful class at the decisive moment.

Yellow card for Pius Kratschmer (1. FC Saarbrücken)
Krätschmer sees yellow for holding an opponent.
24
18:20
Burger makes a mistake in the last line. He plays the ball straight into Grimaldi’s foot. The beefy striker shows his technical skills and dances with the central defenders on the edge of the penalty area. Then he pulls away, but his shot lands in Reimann’s arms.
23
18:19
Bell Bell is fouled on the left touchline. Atik brings the ball in a rehearsed variation on the incoming Conteh. But he couldn’t control the ball. There is repulsion.
21
18:17
After conceding, the Saarbrücken team continued as they had started. The guests press for the equalizer. But they should not forget the Magdeburg counterattack.
20
18:16
Ito leaves the field, supported by the coaches, and is replaced by Ceka, who is in position.

Substitution at 1. FC Magdeburg: Tatsuya Ito

18:14
Apparently Ito has problems. The Japanese is being treated but it would be very surprising if he can continue.
15
18:11
The goal hadn’t been marked by any great chances, but passes down Conteh’s path began to pile up in the last few minutes. The first pass that arrived led to the goal.

18:08
Tooor for 1. FC Magdeburg, 1:0 by Barış Atik
Wow. What a beautiful goal of the 1st FCM. Condé plays a superb pass into Conteh’s run from the center line. The winger is pushed a little to the outside in the penalty area, but lets his opponent run into the void with a hook. Then he could deduct, but instead puts the ball in the middle on Atik. The top scorer has the empty goal in front of him and converts confidently. This is how a climber plays.
11
18:07
But Saarbrücken is also partly responsible for the fact that this game has been so entertaining so far. The guests are brave. They attack early and so far have also had the more dangerous moves forward.
9
18:05
Magdeburg is now keeping the ball in their own ranks for a long time for the first time. The hosts play a clean, low pass game and then try again and again to play long balls to the fast Conteh.

18:02
Yellow card for Barış Atik (1. FC Magdeburg)
Atik is far too late in midfield on the outside line. It wasn’t a really hard foul, but it was the second in a few minutes. So the referee gives a yellow card.
7
18:02
The game is extremely entertaining for the first few minutes. The level is worthy of a top game.
6
18:02
Jänicke brings a second ball from the right in the middle. Captain Zeitz comes to an end on the second post. His volley misses.
4
18:00
Saarbrücken appears in the dangerous zone for the first time. Günther-Schmidt pushes into the penalty area. He’s trying to get the ball. Simultaneously with a Magdeburg defender, he reaches the playground. Both go down and the referee decides it’s a storm foul.
