Fürth 1-2 Frankfurt
Goals: 0-1 Rode 75' (assist: Kamada), 1-1 Itten (90'+2), 1-2 Borre 90'+4 (assist: N'Dicka)

Fürth may be bottom of the Bundesliga but they certainly did not play like it in an end-to-end first half in which they had more possession (63 per cent), more corners (four to Frankfurt’s zero) and more shots (seven to two) than their guests. Indeed, all that was lacking was a killer instinct in the final third from the chances that came their way just before the interval: Cedric Itten’s acrobatic overhead kick flew over the bar and Branimir Hrgota found the side netting with a neat turn and shot inside the box.

If Frankfurt had been somewhat harmless in attack in the first 45 minutes, that all changed after the break. Jesper Lindstrom served notice of their intent with a fierce drive from distance that goalkeeper Marius Funk did well to paw clear. That was soon followed by efforts from Djibril Sow, Filip Kostic and Kristijan Jakic before Almamy Toure arrowed a rasping shot over the bar as the visitors refused to release their stranglehold on the match. Their pressure eventually told in the 75th minute when Daichi Kamada pounced on a loose ball in the Fürth defence to tee up Rode, who swept home from near the penalty spot. Frankfurt looked on course for the win until deep into stoppage time when Itten prodded over the line from close range, but there was more drama to follow as Rafael Borre slid in at the far post to snatch all three points for the Eagles to lift them to 12th in the standings.
