FCM loses again: 2:5 defeat against Rot-Weiss Essen shocks fans
1. FC Magdeburg is left empty-handed after another friendly match. Coach Markus Fiedler's team suffered a 5-2 defeat against Rot-Weiss Essen in their home stadium, a bitter defeat and also their second in a row, having recently lost 2-0 to FC Zurich. How MDR Reportedly, Fiedler was particularly disappointed with his team's defense and attack, which further fueled the unrest in the team.
The game, which took place over three 35-minute periods, got off to a slow start. In the third minute, Baris Atik gave Magdeburg a 1-0 lead. But the celebration didn't last long: Jean Hugonet equalized for the guests from Essen with an own goal in the 18th minute. Dominik Martinovic took advantage of the uncertainty in the FCM defense and scored to give Rot-Weiss Essen the lead in the 32nd minute.
The series of goals conceded continues
The negative trend for FCM continued in the second half. Kaito Mizuta increased the score to 3-1 in the 60th minute. The drama of fate continued with a free kick goal from former Magdeburg player Ahmet Arslan, who increased the score to 4-1 in the 67th minute. In the 84th minute, Jaka Cuber Potocnik scored to make it 5-1. Ultimately, FCM striker Abu-Bekir El-Zein was able to convert a penalty in the 96th minute and correct the score to 2:5, but victory was long in the distance.
The pressure on the FCM will now increase, as the next test match against Chemnitzer FC is scheduled for July 19th at 4:00 p.m. There, it is hoped in Magdeburg, the knot could finally break. But coach Fiedler's worry lines are now clearly visible - the season in the 2nd Bundesliga begins on August 3rd against Eintracht Braunschweig, and the team has to improve noticeably by then.
What happens next after two painful defeats remains to be seen. What is certain is that 1. FC Magdeburg urgently needs a win in order to start the upcoming season with a good feeling.
