Dhe SpVgg Greuther Fürth has once again climbed to the promotion relegation place in the 2nd Bundesliga. At the end of the English week, coach Stefan Leitl’s team won 3-0 (2-0) against Erzgebirge Aue on matchday 19.
Striker Branimir Hrgota advanced to the match winner for the hosts with his two goals, while Aue missed the third win in a row and moved up to one point on Fürth.
Hrgota particularly benefited from the unfortunate appearance of the back team from the Erzgebirge. First Aues defender Florian Ballas faked the apparently harmless conclusion of the Swede from almost 16 meters untenable (15th), before just 20 minutes later Louis Samson was the last man to miss the ball (34th). Julian Green made the final score in the 60th minute.
Düsseldorf loses in Würzburg
Fortuna Düsseldorf, on the other hand, surprisingly failed in the promotion race. Despite clear superiority at the beginning, the Bundesliga relegated last season lost at the bottom of the table, Würzburger Kickers, with two counter goals by Ridge Munsy 1: 2 (1: 1).
For the Rhinelander it was the first defeat after nine games, after the top home games against SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 3) and Hamburger SV (0: 0) there was no point at all for the first time. Würzburg still has a long way to go to at least 16th place.
For a long time it looked like a relaxed affair for Fortuna, especially the standard situations Würzburg could not get under control. Both the 0: 1 by Rouwen Hennings (25th) and a crossbar header from Luka Krajnc (40th) came from corners from the right side. The guests dominated. The equalizer fell out of nowhere because the Rhinelander fell asleep defensively once immediately after their great chance of 2-0. Munsy took advantage of this with a low shot (41st).
After that, Fortuna had problems using its technical advantages on the churned grass. In addition, Würzburg’s second chance in the game was a goal again: Munsy (67th) scored again.
