1. FC Magdeburg missed several chances to take the lead in Karlsruhe and lost for the fifth time in a row. In front of 28,337 spectators, the Elbe city team lost 0:1 (0:0) despite a decent performance. Christopher Kobald scored the only goal of the game. After five defeats in a row, FCM remain bottom of the table with three points.
"We played a good game here, had a lot of chances to score that we didn't take advantage of, and then got such a simple set-piece goal," said an annoyed FCM captain Dominik Reimann. But the shot-stopper didn't want to see everything as bad: "If we make the most of our scoring chances, then we're heading in the right direction, unlike last week and the weeks before."
Coach Markus Fiedler introduced three new players to Magdeburg's starting eleven, so once again there was no consistency in terms of personnel for the Elbe club. Magdeburg initially struggled to penetrate the home side's half, but created a few half-chances and had more chances than KSC, but failed to score.
