1. FC Nürnberg: Late Drama & Klose Impact

Miroslav Klose is considered to be a rather level-headed character. On Saturday, however, the 2014 world champion’s collar burst. Nuremberg’s coach is sent to the dressing room by the referee. Shortly afterwards, his players set two highlights.

In a rousing exchange of blows, 1. FC Nürnberg put an exclamation mark against promotion candidate SV Elversberg at the start of the second half of the season in the second division. The team of coach Miroslav Klose, who was even sent to the stands late for complaining, rewarded themselves for a strong performance with a furious 3:2 (0:1).

Julian Justvan (56th minute) and match winner Piet Scobel with a brace (71st, 90th + 3) were successful for Nuremberg, who dominated the game. Tom Zimmerschied (39th) and Jarzinho Malanga (65th) brought the straightforward Elversberg team at least very close to an away win. Lasse Günther dynamically prepared both goals for the guests in front of 25,369 spectators from the left side.

In a hectic final phase, Klose had to leave the field with a yellow-red card (84th) because he had complained vehemently about a penalty whistle. Klose marched into the dressing room and goalkeeper Jan Reichert parried Otto Stange’s penalty (85′) before Scobel finally shook the stadium with his goal.

Dynamo Dresden – Greuther Fürth 2:0 (1:0)

Preußen Münster – Karlsruher SC 0:2 (0:0)

Karlsruher SC has ended its winless streak in the game against Preußen Münster. Coach Christian Eichner’s team defeated Westphalia, who were ultimately outnumbered, 2-0 (0-0).

It was the first win for the KSC after five defeats and one draw. Marvin Wanitzek scored with a free kick in the 79th minute and a penalty in the 88th minute. Münster’s Paul Jaeckel was shown the red card shortly before the 0-1 score.
