Relegation place instead of climbing the table. 1. FC Magdeburg are still deep in the fight against relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga. The FCM lost 2-0 (0-1) against Arminia Bielefeld in front of 23,759 spectators. Maximilian Bauer (32) and Benjamin Boakye (88) scored for the visitors. Magdeburg slipped to 16th place behind rivals Preußen Münster, who are level on points, due to their poorer goal difference.
"We must have trained 800 balls into the penalty area during the week. That's simply not good enough," said annoyed central defender Marcus Mathisen afterwards. "Now we have to train standards again next week, that's simply crucial. It's 0-0 and then you concede a goal like that," he complained.
