After hits from Baris Atik (67th), Martijn Kaars (70th), and Mo El Hankouri (87th, 90+4) they gave themselves the victory and overtook the Düsseldorfers in the table. However, the jubilation was overshadowed by the news about an attack on a Magdeburg Christmas market, which caused a depressed mood in the stadium, as [Laola1.at] reported. FC Magdeburg and Schalke 04 are on the right track and show that they have to be taken seriously in the title race of the 2nd Bundesliga.
