1. FC Magdeburg had gone six games in a row without a win. In the basement duel with Hansa Rostock, the streak ends at the right time.

1. FC Magdeburg have halted their downward trend after six games without a win in the 2nd Bundesliga. The team of coach Christian Titz won 2-0 (2-0) in the basement duel at Hansa Rostock on Sunday and increased its lead over the relegation place to five points. With four matchdays to go until the end of the season, there are now many signs that Magdeburg will stay in the relegation zone.

In front of 27,500 fans at the Ostseestadion, a mistake by the hosts brought FCM into the game. Luca Schuler (18th minute) picked up a misplaced pass into the center from John-Patrick Strauß and scored his first goal since the end of November. Daniel Heber (40') also caused a Magdeburg rarity with his header.

Magdeburg's possession-oriented style of play posed problems for Rostock, especially after going behind. The Hanseatic side never really got back into the game and Schuler (26) even scored a second goal. However, referee Daniel Schlager disallowed the goal for offside. Hansa only made a statement in the first half with a shot from Svante Ingelsson (36') from 16 meters, which narrowly missed the goal.

Rostock did not give up, but had great difficulty creating scoring chances. Magdeburg were well served by Hanseatic harmlessness and defended their lead confidently. Ingelsson (72) came closest to scoring a follow-up goal, but his shot was defused by FCM goalkeeper Dominik Reimann with a foot save.
