அப்போ போ! With the historic first home win in Bundesliga history, SpVgg Greuther Fürth ended a black record series of twelve consecutive defeats. Howard Nielsen (56th) shot Cloverleaf 1-0 (0-0) against Union Berlin, making it to the top three at home on his 24th attempt since his first season 2012/2013. The Franconians recorded their last victory on May 4, 2013 at VfB Stuttgart (2-0) at the Bundesliga.
When the relaxed final whistle sounded, all tension dissolved into great joy. SpVgg Greuther Fürth’s players ran towards goalkeeper Sascha Burchert and fell on the neck of the man who had guaranteed victory. On the bench, relaxed coach Stephen Leid smiled across his face.
“I’m glad the team made history for the Game Association,” Lead said DAZNFürth finally won the Bundesliga home on the 24th attempt. Despite the hopeless situation at the table, the promoted team celebrated it 1-0 (0-0) with enthusiasm against Union Berlin.
Substitute Purchaser performed well with strong saves, with Howard Nielsen (56th) making a clover shot to the top three at home. The Franconians recorded their last victory on May 4, 2013 at VfB Stuttgart (2-0) at the Bundesliga.
“It feels great, we’ve been waiting so long. It’s special we played for zero for the first time,” Burchhardt said. “It’s very beautiful. We defended well and scored a dirty goal.” Goalkeeper Nielsen added: “This is very important to us. We focused a lot, it’s a strong performance for the whole team.”
Firth coach Leadle: “I will enjoy this moment”
However, winning the ghost game against Iron will not help the promoted team much: with four points after 15 games, Firth still separates twelve points from where he dropped off the table. At this point in the season the five teams that had been similarly hopelessly defeated in Bundesliga history were eventually eliminated. Nevertheless, “we will enjoy this moment now,” Leadle said.
Due to the defeat, TSG missed the chance to equalize with Hoffenheim for fourth place in the Champions League, and are currently sixth in the Bundesliga after being eliminated from the conference league. Eicern rarely saw breaks in Ferdinand’s invasive defense, conceding 17 goals in the last three games, but had strong support from substitute goalkeeper Sasha Purchard.
Nielsen-upstopper excites Firth for the first time
Often, Furt played a good ball and could have taken the lead early on: Dixon dangerously deflected a shot from Abiyama Pranimir Harkota, but Union goalkeeper Andreas Louth removed his legs (7th). Also, as often happens, breaks in defense quickly occur: Perchers, vice-captain of the seriously injured Marius Funk, is not only strong against Max Cruz (13th).
The action took place after the first 15 minutes in midfield as Firth initially showed no nudity and did not allow the union to lure itself. No chances on either side. After a corner from Harkota, Nielsen quickly took root in the Berlin penalty area and hit the dust. Shortly afterwards, Burchhard terribly blocked a draw against Kevin Behrenz (58th).
The union then continued to press forcibly, but often very precisely, not very imaginatively and in the end was not enough to keep up. Firth, on the other hand, eagerly defended the lead. Nico Gielmann (84th) gave the best chance to equalize.
