Spectacle in Fürth: Magdeburg saves victory at the finish line

After that, however, Magdeburg turned up the heat and scored four more goals within twenty minutes. Mateusz Zukowski scored three times as the Elbe club repeatedly switched gears quickly after winning the ball. The hosts were not completely knocked out, however, because FCM still had no access to corners: First Arifi headed in, then Elvedi scored from a scramble.

Magdeburg's standard weaknesses bring Fürth back

Magdeburg's uncertainty continued after the break - after Atik lost the ball, Ltaief Reimann lobbed over to score the early equalizer. The visitors had finally brought Fürth back into the game. After that, the game became increasingly flat, with only the question of whether one team would manage to score. Magdeburg saved the victory in the end - Reimann intercepted a corner kick just before the line. Curious: The away team had already won the first leg 5:4.
