Unnecessary foul by Kai Brünker, who loses the ball on the opponent’s edge of the penalty area and then dives after and clutches Filip Benković in rugby-style. You could have given it yellow.

Magdeburg has now completely taken over the game and puts the opponent in midfield. Eintracht lurks in their own stadium for a counterattack.

Nico Kijewski was hit in the elbow – Michael Bacher’s decision not to point to the point was correct.

The FCM is now better in the game. However, the blue and white are denied a hand penalty. You would have to see a different camera perspective.

Barış Atik takes the shot and flicks the ball from the left edge of the box just wide of the far post! If Jamie Lawrence had come up to the second post, the doorbell would probably have rung.

Brian Behrendt loses his footing against Jason Ceka and owes a promising free kick.

20:32
Hasan Kuruçay wins the ball on the left. Although the attack falters again after a short time, Eintracht seems very alert in the duels.

It starts with a kick-off for the guests dressed in white! The atmosphere is heated, even if the two clubs are linked by a fan friendship.
20:26
The players of the home side swear together with the fans in the curve, while the lawn is properly watered again. The ranks are of course full to bursting, everything is prepared for the Saturday evening game in the 2nd Bundesliga!
20:12
After Eintracht’s 2-0 win in the first leg, it is only the second time that Braunschweig and Magdeburg have met in the 2nd Bundesliga. Previously, they had avoided each other for years – both clubs were at home in the third division for a long time, the FCM at times even a class below. Eintracht, on the other hand, was able to make a trip to the upper house in 2013/2014.

On the Braunschweig side, Michael Schiele made three changes despite the 2-1 draw at St. Pauli. Niko Kijewski will start for Anton Donkor, who is suspended, and Robin Krausse and Brian Behrendt will also replace Nathan De Medina and Bryan Henning. Immanuël Pherai takes a seat on the bench after surviving a concussion, but should also play an important role as a joker.
19:50
But there is also good news from the cathedral city. The two top scorers Moritz Kwarteng (after an allergic reaction) and Barış Atik (after a lateral ligament strain with a bruise) are available in good time and are even in the starting XI today. In addition, defender Daniel Heber is back after a suspension.
19:45
The sporting slump in Saxony-Anhalt is also related to the tense personnel situation. With Connor Krempicki, Julian Rieckmann, Andreas Müller, Florian Kath and Maximilian Franzke (all injured) as well as the suspended Amara Condé and Mo El Hankouri, Christian Titz has to do without seven of nine nominal midfielders. Out of necessity, Silas Gnaka helps out in the sixth position today.

However, the shape curves point in opposite directions. Eintracht recently managed to beat victorious St. Paulians 2-1 at the Millerntor ten times in a row. Maurice Multhaup and Manuel Wintzheimer set the course for victory early on with their goals. 1. FC Magdeburg, on the other hand, lost 2-1 at home to bottom-placed Sandhausen. The Blue and Whites have only won one of their last five games.
19:36
Less than 100 kilometers separate the two cities, you have to calculate about an hour via the A2 or by train. When looking at the second division standings, the distance is even smaller, as Braunschweig and Magdeburg are tied in the lower middle of the table. The two teams are currently four points away from the relegation zone.
19:30
Neighborhood duel in Braunschweig! Eintracht welcomes 1. FC Magdeburg, which is very close both geographically and in terms of the table. It starts at 8:30 p.m. on Hamburger Straße!
