In a highly competitive start to their match, Iyoha scored twice for Magdeburg within the first 15 minutes, putting his new team in front at the 12th minute. The goal marked his highest tally since his last couple of seasons at Fortuna Düsseldorf. Alexander Nollenberger added to the lead, with Baris Atik joining in the half-hour mark, but the goal was disallowed for a foul.
Despite this, Kaiserslautern struggled defensively, conceding the third goal in the second half. Julian Krahl was twice beaten by Iyoha, who scored his first 2. Bundesliga brace in his 208th appearance. The 28-year-old all-rounder helped Magdeburg start their season strongly with a 6-1 home defeat earlier, but they are now third in the table, while Kaiserslautern suffered their first loss.
