Player ratings

Alexander Nollenberger pops up at the right end — 7.89

7.89, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Eldin Džogović pops up at the right end — 7.70

7.70, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Match

Nobody wants to play Magdeburg right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

A row about effort at Magdeburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mateusz Żukowski was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Magdeburg see off Greuther Fürth

Three points for Magdeburg, 3‑1 the final word against Greuther Fürth in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Eldin Džogović

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Michael Wagner out for 27 days

The medical room confirms 27 days on the sidelines for Michael Wagner, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Jean Hugonet in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Magdeburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Time is catching up with Kofi Schulz

Everybody at Magdeburg saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 37 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

In brief
