Tooor for 1. FC Magdeburg, 1-0 by Luc Castaignos
Suddenly the FCM takes the lead! Gnaka finds Castaignos with a great high pass from the center circle. The attacker storms towards Krahl, shoots from a half-right position eight meters and is lucky. Krahl is still there, but the marble still flies in.

Zimmer uses a good trick to destroy an opponent in his own half. However, his pass to Tachie is far too steep.

Apart from the lack of playful highlights, the game is played with a focus on duels. Both the Magdeburgers and the Lauterers know how to defend themselves in direct duels.

Otherwise not much happens in the first ten minutes. Both teams are careful not to make any mistakes.

Now the FCM is also registering. Gnaka’s left-footed shot from 20 meters from the left-hand position gets stuck to Kraus.

The Red Devils start powerfully in the first few minutes. They primarily operate in the second and third thirds.

Either way: Success today would be worth its weight in gold for both teams. Because clubs within striking distance (including 1. FC Nürnberg and SV Wehen Wiesbaden with three and five points ahead of Kaiserslautern and Magdeburg respectively) have already lost on this match day, everything could be even closer together in the table. And: Both VfL Osnabrück (18th) and Eintracht Braunschweig (17th) suffered defeats. The distance to the direct relegation zone could also be increased.

On the other hand, today is game one after the Dirk Schuster era. The Palatinate promotion coach had to take his hat off during the week – three bankruptcies in a row were too many for those responsible at FCK. In his absence, long-time assistant coach Niklas Martin prepared the Red Devils for the away encounter. Well-known names – including Miroslav Klose and Dimitrios Grammozis – are being traded. Alone: There is no successor yet.

It was a very, very important victory for the club last weekend. After four defeats in a row (exception: the 4:3 win at Holstein Kiel in the DFB Cup), including against Kellerkind Hansa Rostock in the derby (1:2), they were able to get a three-pointer at VfL Osnabrück (2: 0). As a result, the club from Saxony-Anhalt, which originally started the season strongly, moved to 13th place. However, they are currently tied on points with Rostock (and FC Schalke 04 as well as Karlsruher SC), who are currently in 16th place. A win today is extremely important in the relegation battle.
