The Magdeburg players sat on the pitch exhausted and disappointed. They had just conceded the decisive goal in stoppage time to suffer their sixth away defeat in a row, losing 2-1 (0-1) at Fortuna Düsseldorf. For coach Petrik Sander, it was "a blow to the back of the head" that had to be overcome as quickly as possible.
Magdeburg had once again played a decent game, earned a deserved equalizer in the 88th minute - and yet went home without points after another poorly defended ball. The statistics of the German Football League have registered 207 shots on goal from FCM in the 13 games so far - resulting in a meagre nine goals in the end.
