Krempicki’s goal too little
Clever Düsseldorfers spoiled 1. FC Magdeburg’s season opener in the 2nd Bundesliga. Despite a great performance, FCM had to learn the hard way against Fortuna and lost 2-1 (0-1) in front of 22,288 spectators on Saturday night. Rouwen Hennings (44./penalty) and Felix Klaus (46.) scored for Fortuna Düsseldorf, Connor Krempicki (50.) only managed the goal.
FCM coach Christian Titz started with two newcomers, Jamie Lawrence in central defense and Mohammed El Hankouri on the right. Playfully, FCM followed up on the previous season, started aggressively and immediately put the guests under pressure. They were initially unlucky with the video assistant: a goal was canceled for handball and a penalty was canceled for offside. The third VAR decision of the evening resulted in a hand penalty for the guests, which Hennings converted and turned the game upside down.
Seconds after the restart, the guests increased after Jamie Lawrence lost the ball. After that, Magdeburg looked pretty uncertain, but then the blue and whites fought back: Krempicki had plenty of space and hit the right angle, which is worth seeing. After that, both teams played an open game, but the very big chances were still missing. Magdeburg lacked penetrating power, plus there were Lawrence’s two individual fouls, which Düsseldorf was able to rip off.
