FINAL

Full-time: Osnabrück 3-0 Fürth

The hosts move into the top half of the table with a thoroughly deserved victory! A quick-fire first-half double from Kofi Kyereh and Meißner set Osnabrück on their way, with Badjie settling matters 15 minutes from time.

Still no fourth

Faber works space for the shot but opts to square the ball to a team-mate rather than go for goal himself. Fürth manage to clear the danger.

Osnabrück get their third!

The substitute seals it! Badjie wins the ball off Wallentowitz on the halfway line and makes a beeline for goal. He keeps his cool in front of Hellstern, slipping the ball between the keeper's legs to make it three.

Another Osnabrück opportunity

Hope for Fürth

A goal for the visitors would set up a nervous finale at the Stadion an der Hafenstraße.

Nearly three!

Kofi Kyereh sends a superp first-time shot towards the bottom right corner, but Hellstern just about manages to get his fingers on the ball and stop it from nestling in the back of the net.

Watch: Dehm lets fly

Over the bar!

A hopeful ball sails over Klaus and Pohlmann and falls somewhat fortuitously lands at the feet of Jordan, who sends his shot over the crossbar. The ball may have taken a slight deflection on its way behind.

44'

How will Fürth respond?

The visitors need to get to half-time and regroup. Those quick-fire Osnabrück goals appear to have rattled Vogel's men.

It's two!

Nightmare for Fürth! The visitors lose possession and Kofi Kyereh pounces on the ball before feeding Meißner, who slots into the unguarded net to double Osnabrück's lead.

There's the opener!

Meißner lays the ball off to Kofi Kyereh on the halfway line and the former Freiburg man sprints all the way into the Fürth box before sending a cool finish into the bottom corner. What a moment for the 30-year-old, who is making his first start since 2023 this afternoon.

Too unselfish

Klaus finds himself in plenty of space on the right of the penalty area and tries to lay the ball off to Jordan, but his pass is intercepted. Could he have let fly himself there?

33'

Fürth settled

The visitors appear to have recovered from that brief scare a few moments. Other than that Münst effort, Vogel's team have given very little away so far.

First yellow

Kammerbauer is booked for a tug on Appelkamp's shirt.

Watch: Münst strikes the woodwork!

Biggest chance of the game so far. Kammerbauer swings the ball into the box from the right and Gomez squares it to Münst, whose shot rattles off the right-hand post and bounces clear.

22'

Blocked

Osnabrück give away possession in midfield and Appelkamp lets fly after pouncing on the loose ball, but Müller flings himself in the way of the shot.

16'

Over the bar

Fürth's first corner is whipped in by Pohlmann, but the delivery lands on top of the goal.

Playing the waiting game

Both teams are sticking with their safety-first approach. Neither goalkeeper has had a great deal to do so far.

Good spell for Fürth

The visitors are starting to see more of the ball now. Still no clear-cut openings to speak of, though.

Seeking control

Osnabrück are dominating possession so far, but Fürth are sitting deep in an effort to keep the hosts at arm's length.

Three-year wait

Heiko Vogel on facing Osnabrück

"I expect a very combative game, because the Osnabrück players are very good in that regard. We'll find ourselves more often in the situation of having to dictate the play, so we have to be extremely careful not to get caught on the counter."

Timo Schultz on facing Fürth

"I think that Fürth have improved with each passing game and have become significantly more compact. They're a side that's very difficult to play against. It'll definitely be an evenly matched game."
