On the 4th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga, FC St. Pauli celebrates a clear victory against newly promoted Magdeburg. In the duel between the former Bundesliga clubs, Fürth and Düsseldorf draw. Fürth’s goalkeeper Line saves a penalty, but is injured so badly that he later has to be substituted.
FC St. Pauli – 1. FC Magdeburg 3:0 (2:0)
FC St. Pauli keeps in touch with the top group of the 2nd Bundesliga. The Kiezklub celebrated their second win in their second home game with a well-deserved 3-0 (2-0) win against promoted team 1. FC Magdeburg. Johannes Eggestein (3rd/14th minute) and Marcel Hartel (77th) scored for the strong St. Paulians in front of 29,164 spectators in the Millerntor Stadium, which was not completely sold out. The Magdeburgers only defended themselves well in the second half, but for the time being they have to concentrate on the fight to stay in the class.
The hosts started furiously at 30 degrees. The strong Eggestein used the first two chances of the game to take the lead for the vastly superior Kiezkicker. A third goal worth seeing by the ex-Bremer prevented the crossbar (30th). After the break, the guests, who suddenly woke up with three fresh forces, hit aluminum through Amara Kondé (46th) and Moritz Kwarteng (49th). On the other side, substitute David Otto (57th) missed the decision by a hair’s breadth. The strong Paqarada also had the third goal on his foot twice (65th/69th). Hartel then did better after Lukas Daschner’s fine preparatory work and everything was clear for St. Pauli.
Fortuna Dusseldorf – Greuther Furth 2: 2 (0: 1)
Bundesliga relegated SpVgg Greuther Fürth is still waiting for the first win. The Franconians achieved the first away point of the new season at Fortuna Düsseldorf with the 2: 2 (1: 0) and remain in the league without a win in the relegation zone. With seven points, Düsseldorf missed the leap into the top third of the table, but so far they have only suffered one defeat.
In front of 23,861 spectators, including the former Fortuna coach Friedhelm Funkel, the hosts in the Düsseldorf Arena were the game-determining team and had the opportunity to score the opening goal through goalscorer Rouwen Hennings, but the veteran failed with a penalty kick on Fürth keeper Andreas Linde (34 .), who was injured when the Düsseldorf attacker attempted a follow-up shot and had to be replaced. Hennings had caught Linde with his knee in the face and taught him a cut under the eye. Leon Schaffran made his first second division appearance for Linde.
The Franks made better use of their chances at first and made it 1-0 (43rd) through captain Branimir Hrgota. Fortuna captain Andre Hoffmann (63′) and Dawid Kownacki (72′) made it 2-1 before Hrgota (78′) scored again with a penalty to make it 2-2 – and the pain of his replaced goalkeeper was not in vain .
Hannover 96 – Jahn Regensburg 1:0 (0:0)
Hannover 96 clinched their first win of the season and prevented Jahn Regensburg from returning to the top of the table. Coach Stefan Leitl’s team won against Bayern 1-0 (0-0) thanks to a late own goal.
In front of 20,700 spectators, Jahn defender Steve Breitkreuz (84th) scored the surprising goal for Lower Saxony after a shot by 96 youth player Antonio Foti. For a long time it looked like a draw because both teams acted too harmlessly in front of the goal. The hosts were the more active team in the first half, but seemed too aimless offensively. Despite fewer chances, Regensburg came up with the more dangerous goal chances. Goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler made two saves (36’/45′) against Jahn attacker Prince Osei Owusu.
