Full-time: Fürth 0-0 Braunschweig

After the early sending-off against Dietz and several chances for Braunschweig, Fürth continued to defend well in the second half and ultimately earned a point against Braunschweig. Ten minutes before the end, the Cloverleaves even had a good chance to snatch the win, but Bjarnason shot over the bar when unmarked.

Braunschweig superior in all aspects...

Can they still score the winner?

The action continues to take place in Fürth's half, but Braunschweig still aren't creating any real danger.

84'

What is Yardımcı doing there?

Schlieck's goal kick goes completely wrong, as Bjarnason heads the ball back too short towards his own goal. Yardımcı intercepts but instead of shooting at the empty Fürth goal from 25 yards, he plays it back.

0:32

And another!

Bjarnason gets a free shot from 10 yards after a deflected effort from Hrgota, but his attempt goes well over!

79'

Best chance for Fürth!

Hrgota sends Srbeny into the penalty area, whose shot from twelve metres is just blocked by the diving Aydin.

Lacking creativity

Braunschweig still can't find a way through the Fürth defence. That's not good enough after such a long period with a man advantage.

Yardımcı heads over

The striker is found in the middle by a good cross, but he can't keep his attempt down as it flies over the crossbar.

75'

No goal threat

The hosts are still without a shot on goal - no team has gone without a single attempt in a complete match this Bundesliga 2 season. The last time this happened in the second tier was in November 2023 (Braunschweig, who did so against Hannover).

Tactical Foul

Ziereis pushes Hoffmann to the ground in the opposition penalty area as the goalkeeper attempts to restart play quickly after a Fürth free-kick. It's the ninth yellow card for Ziereis this season.

Philipp Ziereis

Can Fürth hold on?

Fürth must survive for just under 20 minutes to secure a point. After the early red card against Dietz, that would be a success for Heiko Vogel's team.

70'

Braunschweig bring on attacking reinforcements

Backhaus introduces Alidou as another attacking player, with Ehlers, a defender, coming off.

68'

Over!

After a throw-in from the left, Fürth can't clear properly in the penalty area. Sané then lays it off to Di Michele Sanchez, who shoots over the bar from around 25 yards while unmarked.

Free-kick for the visitors

It's played low towards the edge of the penalty area, but the subsequent shot is blocked.

61'

And another!

Di Michele Sanchez's cross finds Yardımcı 12 yards from goal, but he can't control the ball.

60'

Plenty of crosses

Di Michele Sanchez's cross sails into the six-yard box, where Schlieck manages to clear with both fists.

59'

Next substitution

Gómez has been ineffective today, so Bakhat is brought on in an attempt to bring new impetus to Braunschweig's attack.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Same pattern of play as before the break

Sané's solo run without reward

Sané gets the ball about 30 yards from goal, goes on a mazy run and then shoots from inside the penalty area. However, his shot is blocked.

Backhaus makes his first change

Braunschweig's coach took off his cautioned captain Köhler at half-time, with Di Michele Sanchez replacing him.

Half-time: Fürth 0-0 Braunschweig

Dietz was shown a red card in the third minute after a late challenge. Since then, Fürth have concentrated on defending. Nevertheless, after the visitors threatened initially, the home team became increasingly solid. Yardimci had the best chance of the match shortly before half-time when his header struck the post. Just before the break, Braunschweig had two decent opportunities but couldn't convert them either.

Bell Bell gets a shot away from over 20 yards, but his effort whistles just over the crossbar.

Schlieck to the rescue

Aydin takes the subsequent free-kick and fires it towards goal. Schlick tips the ball over the crossbar with one hand; otherwise, it would have gone into top corner. Good save from the Fürth goalkeeper.

Srbeny commits foul

First substitution

Braunschweig dominating

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Fürth have not posed any threat yet, while Braunschweig have accumulated over one xGoal through several headed opportunities. A lead for the visitors would be deserved, even though Fürth are putting up a good fight.

Post!

A cross from the left finds Yardımcı at the far post, but his header hits the post. Schlieck would have had no chance there.

Getting better

Fürth are still sitting very deep, but are proving hard to break down. Going forward, however, they are not creating much - defending well is taking priority right now.

Ehler stamps on Higl just outside the Cloverleaves' penalty area, earning his side another yellow card.

Nie Wieder: Fürth and Braunschweig remember

Never again. On 27 January 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was liberated. Since 2004, football matches in Germany around 27 January have become a symbol of remembrance for all of the people who were persecuted, deported and murdered under National Socialism.

Braunschweig applying pressure

After another corner from Köhler, Frenkert has a header from eight yards out but misses the target by a wide margin.

14'

Köhler's attempt from 25 yards flies wide of the Fürth goal.

11'

Two early red cards this season

König received the fastest sending-off in Bundesliga 2 history on Matchday 5 earlier this season, while teammate Dietz saw red after just three minutes today. The two fastest dismissals of the season, therefore, have both been dished out to Fürth.

10'

Eintracht takes control

Braunschweig has more of the play in the first ten minutes, Fürth is sitting deep initially after the sending off.

First big chance!

After a corner from Köhler, chaos reigns in the Fürth penalty area. Yardımcı's shot is blocked, and Marie's follow-up shot is deflected into the arms of Schlieck.

Worst possible start

How will the early numerical disadvantage affect Fürth here?

0:32

Early red!

Fürth are down to 10 men within minutes! After fewer than 60 seconds, Dietz goes in with his studs up into Yardımcı's calf. The contact warrants a red card, meaning Fürth will play the remaining 87 minutes a man down.

Kick-off!

Enormously important match

Fürth cannot afford to lose today! Braunschweig, meanwhile, could pull eight points clear of the Cloverleaves with a victory.

Chance for Sané

Sané is in the starting XI for Eintracht for the first time in two months. Back then, the team lost 1-0 against Hertha on Matchday 13.

Return for Bjarnason

Bjarnason is in the starting XI for Fürth for the first time since Matchday 5. Overall, the injury-plagued Icelander is making his first appearance in four months today.

Three changes for Braunschweig

Braunschweig also make three changes to their starting eleven, having suffered a bitter defeat against Magdeburg last time out: Frenkert, Aydin and Sane come in for Alidou, Flick and Heußer (all on the bench).

Four changes for Fürth

That is the most new head coach Heiko Vogel has made in his previous four games.

Vogel's hand forced

The newly introduced quartet of Bjarnason, Higl, Reich and Will replace established players Dehm (suspension), Itter, Green and Klaus (all not in the squad). Heiko Vogel was therefore forced to make changes.

Heiko Vogel on facing Braunschweig

"I think that tactics and details won't be decisive tomorrow, but rather mentality and winning the duels."

Heiner Backhaus on facing Fürth

"A wounded boxer is always dangerous, but we are also wounded. They are really good in attack. It will be a match that perhaps won't be a feast for the eyes, but that's not what matters at the moment."

2:15

Watch: Dynamo Dresden 2-0 Fürth - highlights

Defeat to fellow strugglers Dynamo Dresden means rock-bottom Fürth are now winless in six and five points adrift of outright safety after 18 rounds of fixtures.

2:14

Watch: Braunschweig 0-3 Magdeburg - highlights

Eintracht are only a point clear of the relegation play-off position after a heavy defeat to Magdeburg - their first loss since 21 November.

2:14

Watch: Braunschweig 3-2 Fürth - previous meeting

Sebastian Polter, who has since left the club, scored a stoppage-time penalty as Braunschweig beat Fürth 3-2 earlier this season.

Keen Green
