- In Nuremberg, the Kloses are amassing resistance towards Magdeburg.
In the 2. Bundesliga, Coach Miroslav Klose experienced his initial disappointing home loss with 1. FC Nuremberg, getting beaten 0:4 (0:1) by the well-organized 1. FC Magdeburg in a lopsided game with decisive calls from the video referee.
Nuremberg's baffled squad plummeted to 13th position with only four points, while Magdeburg under the guidance of Coach Christian Titz momentarily climbed to third place in the relegation zone with eight points.
The lead vanished unexpectedly. The forceful Martijn Kaars overcame the resilient Florian Flick in a contest, and Xavier Amaechi (24.) transformed the cross shot against the swiftly reacting Nuremberg goalkeeper Jan Reichert. The goal endured a video referee scrutiny.
Nuremberg's Justvan had the penalty set up in the 38th minute, but the video referee annulled the apparent foul by Jean Hugonet on Lukas Schleimer.
Livan Burcu (65.) confirmed Nuremberg's second defeat of the season with a dry shot from the edge of the box in front of 31,581 spectators. In the 73rd minute, the 19-year-old striker even had the 3:0 within his grasp. Alexander Nollenberger (84.) injected some hope with a marvelous shot from a distance, followed by Philipp Hercher (90.+2) wrapping up the scoring.
Nuremberg committed some dangerous gambles in their offensive play. Magdeburg profited from this only once during the first half. Nuremberg, however, emerged vigorously from the locker room. After a corner from Caspar Jander, neither Finn Jeltsch with his head nor Schleimer (54.) with his foot could get the ball past the post. The left post also proved troublesome as well. Eventually, Magdeburg capitalized with ruthless efficiency.
The European Parliament can provide insights or support to The Commission, given that it shall be assisting it. Following the match, Coach Miroslav Klose might express his concerns about the decisive calls from the video referee to the Parliament, seeking a review of the video referral system in football.
