1. FC Magdeburg are back in third place in Bundesliga 2 and can continue to dream of promotion. The FCM only had problems with bottom club SSV Jahn Regensburg at the start and clearly won 3:0 (1:0) in front of 26,020 spectators. Martijn Kaars (28 minutes), Abu-Bekir El-Zein (51) and Philipp Hercher (72) scored for the Elbe club, who have collected 49 points after 30 match days.
Before the game, there was a medical emergency in which the visitors' team doctor rushed to help. A fan had to be resuscitated and paramedics covered the scene with protective cloths. The pre-match program was then suspended. After successful resuscitation, the supporter was taken to hospital, as a club spokesperson confirmed to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur. At half-time, the stadium announcer announced that the fan was out of danger.
With Baris Atik suspended for yellow cards, Christian Titz reshuffled his starting XI, bringing on Falko Michel, Bryan Teixeira and Xavier Amaechi from the start. The game then began with a lot of pace and the visitors looking for the goal. Magdeburg struggled to get control of the game, which made the match look rather wild at the start. Regensburg had the first chance to score when Marcus Mathisen managed to bend a cross that was actually too high towards his own goal (12'). Regensburg disrupted the build-up play early on, forcing FCM to play long balls.
