1. FC Magdeburg experienced a debacle in the test against Eintracht Braunschweig. The second division bottom club lost 6-0 (0-1) on a secondary pitch at the Magdeburg Arena. Sven Köhler (33'), Yardimci Erencan (46', 65'), Christian Conteh (61') Robin Heußer (63') and Sidney Raebiger (72') scored for Braunschweig.
Magdeburg's goal drought continued in the clash between the struggling second-division sides - Braunschweig have lost four of their last matches, Magdeburg six. In addition to four internationals on loan, FCM were also missing Baris Atik and Tobias Müller due to strain management.
Unsteady Magdeburg go down after the break
As in the league, Magdeburg conceded goals too easily, hardly got into the tackles and allowed the visitors from Braunschweig too much space. In attack, on the other hand, the Elbe club had problems creating chances and rarely got into a position to score.
While Braunschweig showed energy, presence and will almost every minute, FCM looked completely unsettled, unable to break free from Braunschweig's pressing and conceding one goal after the other. The doubts about coach Markus Fiedler are only likely to grow after this result.
