As the new coach of second division soccer team SpVgg Greuther Fürth, Alexander Zorniger celebrated a perfect start against Bielefeld. Japan’s Tatsuya Ito saved a lucky point for 1. FC Magdeburg in added time on Friday against 1. FC Heidenheim.
In the first game under the new coach, the Franconians celebrated a victory with a signal effect in a basement duel with Arminia Bielefeld with a 1-0 (1-0). The strong Armindo Sieb (30th minute) scored the goal for Fürth’s second win of the season in front of 9433 spectators in the game of the two Bundesliga relegated teams who were threatened with relegation again. In the table, the previous bottom of the table from Fürth not only passed Arminia, but at least temporarily left the relegation zone.
Against 1. FC Heidenheim, Magdeburg’s Ito (90.3 minutes) used the first shot on the opposing goal to win a point. So the climber came to a happy draw with the 1: 1 (0: 1). Denis Thomalla (23rd) had previously given the guests the lead in front of 19,352 spectators in the MDCC Arena. The Ostalbstädter ranked fourth, the Elbestadt in 15th place.
After the 3:2 at Hamburger SV, FCM coach Christian Titz made no changes. Magdeburg had more than 70 percent possession of the ball, but the ripped-off guests were not impressed. The free-standing Thomalla used the fourth chance to counterattack deliberately to take the lead.
