Fürth – SpVgg Greuther Fürth has missed a liberating blow in the 2nd Bundesliga after a disappointing start to the season.

The Bundesliga relegated team of new coach Marc Schneiders had to settle for a 1-1 (0-0) lead in a crisis duel against Karlsruher SC at home on Friday. In front of 9678 spectators, Ragnar Ache took the lead (57th minute), Marvin Wanitzek equalized with a hand penalty (66th). Both teams are stuck further down the table.

After a sluggish initial phase, the game association determined the game for a long time. But Fürth also missed the goal threat. Karlsruhe’s offensive power Paul Nebel was lucky before the break not to be sent off with yellow-red after a hard challenge (40th).

In the second half there was more goal danger. After a one-two with Branimir Hrgota, Ache scored the lead from around 18 meters. This didn’t last long. After the video assistant was deployed, KSC was penalized after Oussama Haddadi had deflected a shot from Wanitzek with his hand. Wanitzek transformed placed. Centimeters were missing from Karlsruhe to make it 2-1 because Jerôme Gondorf was offside when he assisted Wanitzek. In the closing stages, KSC was closer to victory.
