Towards the end of the first half, a similar situation occurred at the opposite end. A Magdeburg defender believed the referee had already signaled a dangerous free kick against his team, so he grabbed the ball with his hands inside his penalty area. But the referee had not stopped play and also awarded a penalty.
As a result, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Magdeburg currently holds second place in the standings, while Greuther Fürth sits in tenth.
Reminder: On Sunday, October 6, Fiorentina faced AC Milan in Serie A’s seventh round. Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea pulled off an extraordinary feat by saving two penalty kicks.
