Jahn Regensburg showed morale in the relegation battle of the 2nd Bundesliga and secured an important point in the basement duel against 1. FC Magdeburg.
The team of coach Mersad Selimbegovic remains after the 2: 2 (0: 1) on the relegation place. After eleven points from the last six games, Magdeburg still has a comfortable lead of five points over Regensburg.
Baris Atik made it 1-0 for the guests early on with a wonderful free kick into the far corner (10th). However, SSV keeper Jonas Urbig misjudged. Andreas Albers (52nd) equalized after a nasty mistake in the guest defense. Daniel Elfadli (80′) gave the visitors the lead again before Kaan Caliskaner (90′) scored the acclaimed equalizer late on.
Heber sees a red card in overtime
In a hectic final phase, Daniel Heber from Magdeburg saw red after an emergency brake (90+1).
Magdeburg deservedly led at the break. Jahn tried his best, but as so often this season, he presented himself too harmlessly on the offensive and without any penetrating power. Up until the game against Magdeburg, the Upper Palatinate had scored just 25 goals in 26 games. After the change, however, Albers used the first opportunity to make it 1-1. It was the striker’s first goal in five months.
Regensburg opens against Fürth
At the start of the 28th matchday, SSV Jahn Regensburg has to pass in Fürth (Friday, April 14th, 2023 at 6.30 p.m.). Magdeburg welcomes Sandhausen a day later (1 p.m.).
