Full-time: Fürth 3-2 Darmstadt

Futkeu defeats Darmstadt almost single-handedly. Despite taking the lead twice, the Lilies leave Fürth without any points. Futkeu is the culprit, becoming the match-winner after bagging a stunning hat-trick. He scored his last two goals from the 85th minute onwards. The late drama may well have ruined Darmstadt's promotion hopes.

Hat-trick hero Futkeu

Incredible! Hrgota receives the ball in the penalty area and crosses to Futkeu. The striker shields the ball from his opponent, controls it with his thigh and then remains ice-cold in front of Schuhen.

A big goal in the promotion race! Richter chips the ball to Hornby in the penalty area. Elvedi prevents him from taking a shot. In doing so, Elvedi unfortunately places the ball right at the feet of Furukawa, who only has to tap it in.

That was close

López looks for Hornby with a cross. In the middle, Elvedi heads the ball out of the danger zone just before the Darmstadt player can reach it.

Blocked

Kick-off!

Half-time: Fürth 1-1 Darmstadt

One of these shots leads to a corner. Futkeu jumps under the ball, and behind him stands Richter, who handles the ball.

Fürth respond

The hosts are looking to push forward immediately. However, their attempts on goal have been too imprecise so far.

What happens next?

Darmstadt have enjoyed more control in the last few minutes. Will there be more attacking moves now? So far, much of the play has been in midfield.

The spell is broken!

After a longer spell of possession, Lidberg simply takes a shot at goal. Prüfrock can only parry the relatively centrally struck ball forward. Lidberg reacts quickest and scores the first goal of the afternoon.

Great combination...

No problems for Schuhen

Dehm delivers a cross slightly behind Klaus. He can only head the ball in a looping arc towards the goal. This poses no challenge for Schuhen.

Well defended

Klaus finds Dehm on the right flank, who has plenty of space ahead of him. However, Nürnberger manages to clear the ball in his own penalty area.

17'

Tactical change

Fürth are playing today with a back three instead of a back four and with Hrgota and Klaus as dual number tens.

16'

Schuhen alert

Futkeu looks for Hrgota with a long ball. Schuhen is quicker to the ball and collects it.

15'

Darmstadt surge forward

After a rather cautious opening phase, the Lilies are now more active and looking to push forward.

0:20

Not far off

Klefisch simply plays a long ball and finds Hornby. The striker is relatively free at the edge of the penalty area and tries a volley-chip. The ball lands on the roof of the net.

Great support...

...from the away fans. The Darmstadt supporters are trying to sing their team to promotion.

Too Complicated

The Clover Leaves try a short corner routine that goes badly wrong. It'll be a goal kick.

First corner

Hrgota's shot is deflected for a corner kick. Can Fürth capitalise on this?

The hosts are pressing early and want to quickly move the ball towards the goal. The referee whistles for a foul, however.

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Greuther Fürth

"The fact that Fürth have conceded the most goals stems from the first half of the season, when they had bigger problems. They have now stabilised significantly. We need a mixture of patience and willingness to take risks in the final third. In the decisive areas, we must be ready to press forward."

Heiko Vogel on facing Darmstadt

"Darmstadt have very good individual players who work well together as a team. This will be a big challenge."

Will Lidberg score again?

Isac Lidberg has scored a goal in each of his three Bundesliga 2 matches against Fürth and has always left the pitch as the winner.

Strong Kohfeldt record

Florian Kohfeldt has faced Fürth five times as a head coach, celebrating five victories! Besides the three successes with the Lilies, he won 4-1 against the Clover Leaves with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga in February 2022 and triumphed 2-0 with Bremen in the DFB Cup round of 16 in February 2021.

No Clover success for a while

Fürth last won against the Lilies in May 2023, when they secured a 4-0 home victory while playing with a man advantage from the 30th minute onwards. Darmstadt's promotion was already confirmed before that match, but that significant defeat saw them surrender the Bundesliga 2 title to Heidenheim.

Lilies recently stronger

Darmstadt have won their last three matches against Fürth, whilst celebrating 14 victories across 29 Bundesliga 2 meetings in total - more than against any club they've faced.
