Magdeburg with a terrible second half

After the break, FCM increased the pressure and Fürth retreated far back at times and the game became hectic: Fürth's lead through Klaus was followed by the equalizer. And then the events repeated themselves: Klaus put Fürth ahead (62'), Ahl-Holmström equalized (64'), Futkeu scored to take the lead again (69') and Magdeburg's Nollenberger saw yellow (71'). Klaus' next goal seemed to decide the game, but Ghrieb and Pesch equalized - only to leave the pitch as losers in the end.
