FCM coach Christian Titz started with two newcomers, Jamie Lawrence in central defense and Mohammed El Hankouri on the right. In a playful way, FCM picked 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 due to handball and a penalty kick was canceled due to offside. The third VAR decision of the evening gave the guests a hand penalty, which Hennings converted and turned the game on its head.

Seconds after the restart, the visitors increased after losing the ball by Jamie Lawrence, who made an unfortunate debut overall. After that, Magdeburg seemed quite unsure, but then the blue and white struck back: Krempicki had a lot of space and hit the right angle, which is worth seeing. After that, both teams played an open game, but the really big chances were still missing. Magdeburg lacked the penetrating power, and there were also individual mistakes that Düsseldorf knew how to use ripped off.
