Watch: Braunschweig 3-2 Fürth

Full-time: Braunschweig 3-2 Fürth

Fürth tried everything in the second half, keeping the pressure immensely high for 45 minutes. However, the Cloverleaves were repeatedly imprecise with their finishing. That was until substitute Srbeny crossed to target man Higl, who headed in strongly for the deserved equaliser. Braunschweig were only occupied with defending in the second 45 minutes, barely managing to relieve the pressure - but they were still rewarded in the sixth minute of stoppage time as Consbruch brought down Polter in the penalty area. The substitute then stepped up himself and scored to seal the win.

The fourth is ruled out

From the free-kick, Eintract counter superbly. Hoffmann throws the ball out to Kaufmann. He doesn't shoot into the empty net, but instead sends Di Michele Sanchez through, who tucks the ball home. The goal is initially given, but then overturned as the referee rules out the goal and blows the full-time whistle in the same moment.

Higl!

Disciplined Defence

The Lower Saxony side are once again relying on their defence. They are constantly shifting well along the back line. Fürth will have to produce something special to break them down.

77'

The hero stays down

Consbruch, who has just been substituted on, has acrobatically prevented the 3-1. However, the blonde-haired player seems to have slightly injured himself in the process and requires treatment.

76'

Almost the decisive moment!

Gómez plays a lovely through ball into the channel for Szabó. The attacker looks set to put the game to bed, but Consbruch slides in at the last second to block the Braunschweig player's shot and deflect it out for a corner.

In the second half, Fürth have had much more of the game. However, the visitors have not been able to reward themselves for their increased intent.

Fürth keeping up the pressure

Kick-off!

Half-time: Braunschweig 2-1 Fürth

The home side started at a high tempo, but lacked precision in their attacking play. Fürth were a bit more purposeful and took the lead through Klaus. Eintracht then fought their way back into the match with good work off the ball and turned the game around with their first two shots on target – pure efficiency!

Similar ball recovery times

While the offensive play is now flowing a bit more smoothly for the home team, both sides are winning the ball back at a similar rate.

41'

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).

Offside? No, Fürth have the opener!

A long ball finds its way behind Braunschweig's defensive line. Futkeu and Klaus both run for the ball, with the former latching onto it before feeding Klaus in the centre. Klaus hits it well, finding the bottom left corner, but the goal is initially disallowed for offside. However, after a lengthy review, the decision is overturned and the goal stands. Fürth lead!

A good contest

Braunschweig are playing with discipline, and Fürth keep getting stuck in attack. Both clubs are lacking a bit of precision in their passing game.

12'

Conteh gets stuck

After winning the ball in Fürth's half, the Braunschweig player picks up pace and tries to drive towards the penalty area. However, at the edge of the box, he collides with Dietz. Fürth can clear.

Only one shot so far

Braunschweig haven't registered a shot yet, while the Clover Leaves have had one. Eintracht are working well without the ball, making it difficult for Fürth to create attacking moves. After winning possession, the hosts have lacked the precision needed.

The first corner of the match

Green delivers the ball from the left, but BTSV clear it at the near post.

Futkeu on the ground

The Fürth striker lands awkwardly after a challenge with Köhler and is in some discomfort. After a brief breather, he's able to continue.

Like a house on fire

Just like against Magdeburg: Braunschweig are making a real push in the opening minutes, pressing aggressively and early.

The ball is rolling!

Braunschweig immediately boot the ball forward into touch, in order to press Fürth high up the pitch from the throw-in.

Kick-off!

Who will follow up?

Braunschweig against Fürth is the only match between two opening-day winners this weekend. Eintracht last started Bundesliga 2 with two victories in 2016/17, while the Cloverleaves last managed this in 2013/14.

Milestone for Klaus

Felix Klaus is playing his 200th match in Bundesliga 2, making his 55th appearance in the Fürth shirt (115 matches for Düsseldorf and 30 for Hannover).

One change for the visitors

For the visitors, Luca Itter starts on the left side instead of Reno Münz.

Breunig for Ehlers

The only change for BTSV after the opening win in Magdeburg is no surprise: Louis Breunig moves into the starting eleven for the suspended Kevin Ehlers, who received a red card.

Heiner Backhaus on facing Fürth

"I expect an opponent playing with plenty of pride. They are a team that stood out last season with their great set-piece strength. They scored 21 goals from those so it's a massive weapon of theirs. It's a big challenge that we have to solve. But we're playing at home and we're incredibly excited about our fans. For me, that will also be a first as Eintracht coach. It's about developing a feeling that must be characterised by emotions in the game."

Thomas Kleine on facing Eintracht

"The team is very focused. We are prepared, working very concentratedly to travel to Braunschweig with three points in the bag and a good feeling. The Braunschweig manager is about playing high pressing, so we expect a team that wants to put us under pressure. It's about finding solutions with the ball, standing very compact and making it difficult for the opponent to create chances."

Tribute to Braunschweig legend planned

There will be a minute's silence before kick-off for former Eintracht player and 1966/67 Bundesliga winner, Peter Kaack, who passed away last week. The Braunschweig players will also wear black armbands in tribute.

Green's great run

Julian Green has scored four goals in his last four matches against Braunschweig.

Clean sheets galore

Fürth kept a clean sheet in half of the 24 second division matches against Eintracht

Eintracht in Franconia

Braunschweig's last victory against Fürth was a 2-0 home win in September 2024 (Rayan Philippe scoring a brace). The Cloverleaves had won all three of their previous away matches at BTSV without conceding a goal.

Braunschweig's favourable record

Fürth have 20 points from a possible 27 in their last nine matches against Braunschweig, taking six wins and two draws.
