Outstanding performance
Magdeburg•AttackerA tale of redemption saw Fabian Nürnberger turn from villain to hero in this closely-fought 2. Bundesliga encounter. The substitute defender's unfortunate own goal just four minutes after his introduction gave Magdeburg the lead on 62 minutes, but he atoned immediately with the equalizer five minutes later. Both sides struggled to create clear-cut chances in a cagey affair that saw four yellow cards for persistent fouling. The point maintains both teams' mid-table positions, with neither able to build significant momentum in what appears to be a season of consolidation for both clubs.
How entertaining was this match?
