In the duel between Nuremberg and Magdeburg, the issues of the Klose team become particularly clear. For a long time, 1. FC Nuremberg controlled the game against Preußen Münster and created numerous chances in front of the opponent's goal – but the crucial precision was missing. The goal that the team was working towards simply wouldn't come. When it finally did and Nuremberg took the lead, the relief lasted only a moment. The equalizer didn't take long to follow. Meanwhile, Hannover 96 demonstrated more assertiveness in their match against Magdeburg and secured a 2:1 victory.
