🚨 Can't find the net, goals flood in & red: the worst start ever?

🚨 Can't find the net, goals flood in & red: the worst start ever? FC Magdeburg had surely imagined things very differently. The club is currently experiencing an absolute nightmare start to the new 2. Bundesliga season. After both clubs had only just stayed above the line last season, FCM and Eintracht Braunschweig wanted to do everything better this year. The Lower Saxony side are currently doing that really well away from home. Magdeburg, on the other hand, are putting in a truly dreadful performance.  At first, kick-off was delayed because of a damaged goal net. The net had to be patched up temporarily with cable ties. Luckily that happened, because it was the very goal Braunschweig charged toward shortly afterward. It didn’t take long at all before the net had to prove its strength for the first time.  In the 15th minute, a simple move overwhelmed the home defense, and in the end Aaron Opoku made it 1–0 for the visitors from Braunschweig.  Just six minutes later came the next counterattack; this time Jan Urbich found the net, and he repeated the trick again only five minutes later (26').  Not even 30 minutes played and Magdeburg had already conceded three goals. Incredibly bitter, and an absolute nightmare start to a second-division season in which everything was actually supposed to get better.  And just when it seemed things could hardly get any worse, they did. Before halftime, Herbert Bockhorn was sent off with a red card for a bad foul.  So the halftime verdict from FCM’s point of view: three goals behind, one man down, and a shockingly weak performance.  You could hardly start a new season any worse than this, could you?
