The match between Hamburger and 1.FC Magdeburg ended with a 3-1 victory for the home side, with all of Hamburger’s goals coming in a dominant first-half performance. Hamburger’s early goal at the 4th minute mark set the tone, while their ability to score two more times before halftime demonstrated their clinical edge. Defensively, Hamburger managed their lead well despite the eventual reduction to ten men following a second-half red card. Magdeburg's inability to match Hamburger's first-half intensity was a critical factor in their defeat.

Statistically, Hamburger capitalized on their shot efficiency with three crucial goals from limited attempts, underscoring their precision in front of goal. Despite Magdeburg having more corner kicks (7 to Hamburger's 4), they were unable to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. Magdeburg’s lack of sharpness in the final third was further compounded by their higher foul count (10 fouls to Hamburger's 6), which disrupted their attacking momentum and invited pressure.

Discipline was problematic for both teams, evidenced by two yellow cards each, but Hamburger’s red card in the second half at a crucial point limited their attacking fluidity and pressed them to focus on defense to protect their lead. Despite this, their teamwork and organized defensive play were enough to see off any substantial comeback from Magdeburg. Conversely, Magdeburg's lack of coherent counter-attacks and missed opportunities in the second half stymied their effort to overturn the deficit.
