1. FC Magdeburg beat Holstein Kiel 2-0 in the 2. Bundesliga, with both goals arriving after the 70th minute. The home side were second best for much of the game but took their chances when they mattered.
The match was goalless until the 72nd minute, when Barış Atik's pass set up Mateusz Żukowski to score. Luka Hyryläinen made it 2-0 nine minutes later from Alexander Nollenberger's assist. The game saw nine yellow cards in a physical, foul-heavy contest.
Magdeburg's victory hinged on efficiency rather than dominance. They had only 36% possession and 10 shots to Kiel's 14, yet scored with both of their shots on target. Kiel created three big chances and missed them all, finishing with an expected goals figure of 2.11 to 0.88.
