Overview

• Magdeburg suffered a sixth straight defeat with a 0-4 loss to SV Elversberg and remain bottom with three points from eight matches.
• The team owns the league’s weakest defense with 19 goals conceded and only seven scored, with repeated set-piece lapses and a six-hour goal drought cited.
• Sporting director Otmar Schork publicly backed Fiedler before the match on Sky, then declined comment afterward as a media session was pushed to Tuesday.
• Fiedler called the performance deeply disappointing, while Alexander Nollenberger and Jean Hugonet described confusion and failures in box positioning on dead balls.
• Schork has linked the struggles to the late summer coaching hire that curtailed transfer activity, as Elversberg coach Vincent Wagner urged patience for Fiedler.
