Full-time whistle

Kaiserslautern deservedly win away from home, thanks to goals from Naatan Skyttä and Ivan Prtajin. The early sending off gave the hosts a mountain to climb, and they looked exhausted having played 90 minutes with a man less.

A brace for Prtajin!

Sahin breaks free in the centre and lays it off to Kleinhansl on the left. His cross isn't perfect, but Prtajin controls the ball, turns into his marker, leaves another Fürth player for dead and slots it into the far corner.

Ivan Prtajin

GOAL!

0:3

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

39 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

6.35 m

62'

Prtajin the poacher

Prtajin is one of the strongest headers of the ball in Bundesliga 2 - five of his now 14 goals in the division were scored with his head. It was his first goal since April 2024 - with his most recent coming for Wehen-Wiesbaden.

61'

Fürth looking for a response

Futkeu hits the side netting. Fürth are now throwing everything forward.

Visitors double their lead

The ball comes to Joly on the right, who delivers a pinpoint cross from the touchline to Prtajin. His powerful header from the far post hits the underside of the crossbar before hitting the back of the net.

Lautern making their presence known

Sahin gets a shot away from a promising position in the penalty area. His shot is blocked, and Prtajin is offside for the subsequent header.

Fürth pushing

Fürth seem more energetic early on, despite their disadvantage. Kunze receives a yellow card after a late challenge in midfield.

Half-time summary

Kaiserslautern lead 1-0 through Naatan Skyttä, and deservedly so after the fastest red card in Bundesliga 2 history (1'). However, the visitors are not making enough of their overwhelming advantage. Fürth only became dangerous through set pieces in the final minutes of the half.

Good long-range shot

Good instinct from Lieberknecht

With Alidou and Skyttä, the duo directly involved was the same one that brought about the turnaround against Darmstadt.

Goal for FCK

Joly heads on a long, diagonal ball to Alidou who reacts quicker than the goalkeeper and lays it off with his heel back to Joly, who finds the incoming Skyttä with a scuffed shot. Skyttä then slots it into the empty net from close range.

Too little goal threat

With six shots to one on goal and around 60 percent possession, Lautern are dominating the match after half an hour, but they're rarely converting this into a real goal threat.

Lautern too imprecise

The visitors are pinning the home team back, trying to stretch the play wide. The crosses, especially from the left by the newly-appointed U-20 international Haas, are still too imprecise.

Historic red card for König

A red card in the first minute - that has never happened before in Bundesliga 2! The previous record was held by St. Pauli's Fabio Morena (two minutes), who was also sent off here at Ronhof in August 2008. Moreno shared that record with Braunschweig's Tino Löchelt, sent off against Darmstadt in August 1986.

Shock!

There were no discussions about the sending-off. It was definitely one of the quickest red cards in Bundesliga 2 history, from which Fürth must now regroup.

Red card for Fürth

Unbelievable! After just a few seconds, Noah König miscontrolls the ball as the last man. Alidou goes for the ball and is completely taken out by König. It's an immediate red card and a free kick from a central position.

Kick-off!

Captain only on the bench

Alidou and Skyttä, who turned the home match against Darmstadt (3-1) around with their goals as substitutes before the international break, are in the starting eleven today. Tachie and captain Ritter take a seat on the bench.

Fürth with two changes

There are two changes to the starting eleven for the home team: König and John start, replacing Bjarnason (bench) and the injured Bansé (knee surgery) from their wild 5-4 victory in Magdeburg. Reserve goalkeeper Körber is also unavailable due to a ligament injury. Jung, the goalkeeper from their second team, is on the bench.

Torsten Lieberknecht on facing Fürth

"We could have done better away from home during my time here. More points would have been possible and we want to turn the tide this weekend. Fürth have many experienced players like Klaus & Hrgota, plus Futkeu - they have a good spine there."

Lieberknecht and Fürth

Torsten Lieberknecht last faced Fürth on Matchday 34 of the 2022/23 season, losing 4-0 away with Darmstadt. He had already celebrated promotion with the Lilies a week earlier, but missed out on the Bundesliga 2 title due to the defeat in Fürth (Heidenheim overtook them).

Prtajin's record against Fürth

Ivan Prtajin scored his last goal in Bundesliga 2 against Fürth, even netting twice for Wiesbaden against the Cloverleaves in April 2024, though his side still lost 5-3 that day.

Déjà-vu

Both teams will meet again at the same venue in just over six weeks, as Fürth will host Lautern in the second round of the DFB Cup at the end of October.

Lautern love the Cloverleaves

Kaiserslautern won 4-2 away to Fürth last season and have won 10 of the last 14 competitive matches against the Cloverleaves.
