Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

West Ham United were held to a 1-1 draw by 1. FC Magdeburg in a Club Friendly, with defender Max Kilman’s first-half strike cancelled out by a 90th-minute equaliser. The result leaves the London side without a win in this pre-season outing, though Kilman’s performance offered a bright spot ahead of their campaign preparations.

The match turned on Kilman’s composed finish in the 21st minute, giving West Ham a lead they held comfortably until the final whistle approached. Magdeburg’s pressure finally told in the 90th minute, their late goal punishing a defence that had looked solid throughout, while yellows for both sides in the second half added a scrappy edge to the friendly.

On the numbers, Magdeburg controlled the ball with 58% possession and earned seven corners to West Ham’s two, yet they needed a stoppage-time strike to salvage a draw. Kilman was the standout, earning an 8.42 rating for his goal from defence, the highest mark on the pitch. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Magdeburg, but the draw proved that prediction wrong, with the home side’s dominance going unrewarded until the dying moments.
