2. Bundesliga: Żukowski stars in relegation six-pointer as Magdeburg pip Münster | OneFootball

Mateusz Żukowski scored a brace to help Magdeburg to a crucial three points away at fellow relegation-threatened side Preußen Münster. The Polish striker is certainly the surprise story of the season.

The 24-year-old was a versatile player in his time at Slask Wroclaw and Lechia Gdansk as he only scored five goals in over 100 appearances. He also had to wait until matchday 13 for his 2. Bundesliga debut due to an injury.

However, he is now only one goal shy of the league’s top-scorer, Isac Lidberg. After failing to score in the last three matches, Żukowski put the visitors in front from the penalty spot in first-half injury-time.

January signing Richmond Tachie sealed the victory in second-half injury-time with his first goal for the club after Żukowski completed his fourth brace and Etienne Amenyido’s strike that momentarily gave hope for the hosts. The relegation fight intensifies in 2. Bundesliga, with the gap between 12th-placed Dynamo Dresden and cellar-dwellers Münster only three points.
