2. Bundesliga: Magdeburg ease relegation concerns as Endes Dsseldorf debut end in defeatAlexander Endes Fortuna Dsseldorf debut didnt get off to a good start as a spirited Magdeburg performance saw the hosts go 2-0 up inside the first 15 minutes. Laurin Ulrichs second goal of the season opened the gates for Petrik Sanders boys in the second minute.The Stuttgart loanee did score his first 2. Bundesliga goal in last weeks 4-3 defeat to Paderborn. Lubambo Musonda, who netted Magdeburgs first equalizer on that night, provided the assist for the 21-year-old midfielder.A couple of minutes later, Florian Kastenmeier made a great save from Alexander Nollenbergers one-on-one chance. However, Dsseldorfs captain had to take the ball once again a few minutes later.Baris Atik was involved in the move for the first goal and assisted on the second with a brilliant through pass to the man in scintillating form, Mateusz ukowski. The Polish striker netted his sixth goal in four games with a first-time hit.ukowski missed the first 12 games of the season due to injury, but the summer signing from Slask Wroclaw (for a reported 250k) is leading the scoring chart with 17 goals. The visitors improved a bit after that as Sima Suso had their first big chance right after Magdeburgs second goal.The end-to-end nature of the game continued early after the restart as Kastenmeier made a superb save to deny the lively Atik from range. Fortunas goalkeeper was furious with himself for misjudging Nollenbergers cross a couple of minutes later, but the goal was chalked off for an offside after a VAR check.Magdeburg managed the game very well, but ukowski will miss next weeks game in Nrnberg after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season, including in each of the last three matches. There was another disallowed goal for an offside, with Dariusz Stalmach the unfortunate party this time around.Magdeburg are now two points ahead of their guests, while Fortuna Dsseldorf could drop to the bottom three if other results go against them.
