Top fight ends goalless: Ulm and Magdeburg share the points!

A gripping duel in the Avnet arena! The SSV Ulm 1846 football and the 1. FC Magdeburg separated after 90 minutes with an exciting 0-0. In the 12th round of the 2nd Bundesliga 2024/25, the two teams faced each other in a competitive game for the first time. The Ulm, who ran in bright yellow, had to make three changes in the starting eleven, while the Magdeburgers performed in blue.

From the beginning, the Magdeburger dominated the game, but the Ulm defense withstood. The first chance belonged to the guests, but Krattenmacher's shot missed the goal. The Magdeburgers pushed with beautiful combinations, but the Ulm defensive was on the hat and did not allow a serious goal. Goalkeeper Thiede was challenged and parried some dangerous shots, while the Ulmer focused on quick counterattack. Just before the half -time break, Thiede was in action again and secured the goalless draw at halftime.

intensive fight up to the last minute

The second half offered a similar picture: the Magdeburgers tried, but the Ulm defense was a bulwark. A free kick from the Magdeburg was spectacularly parried by Thiede, and the Ulm goalkeeper was also the winner in one-on-one against Nollenberger. The Ulm had their best chance when Keller was stopped shortly before the goal. In the final phase, Ulm's coach Wörle brought fresh forces, but despite a dismissal for Stromf, the sparrows fought until the last minute and secured the point in the relegation battle.

coach Thomas Wörle praised his team's defensive performance and emphasized the importance of the point. "We knew that we had to compete against a dominant opponent. Our defensive work was very good over long distances," said Wörle. The Ulm take the point with them and are now looking at the next away game against Hertha BSC in Berlin, while the Magdeburgers start against Regensburg after the international break.
