NIELSEN: "I'M REALLY PROUD"

90'
+ 4

FINALLY FÜRTH!

Fürth win their first game of the season! Union were not at the races until too late, with the hosts taking the lead and defending it well to get their first top-flight three points of the season in the bag, and in one swoop, quadrupling their tally for the season!
Full-time
90'

FIRST FOR FÜRTH?

Together with Cologne, the Clover Leaves are one of two teams yet to have kept a clean sheet this season. Could that change today?
90'

AWONIYI OVER!

A great chance to level! Gießelmann's cross is pinged onto the head of Awoniyi and, from just a handful of yards out, he nods the ball over! Will they get a better chance to level?

TWO BITES OF THE CHERRY

Gießelmann sees his first shot blocked, but is able to reach the ball as it falls loose, only to fire it over.
83'

HOOFING IT

Burchert punches the ball away and Tillman sends it as far away as possible. Fürth want the ball away from their own goal, but it keeps coming back.

NIELSEN DECIDING IT

Havard Nielsen's goal is still the difference between the two teams.
79'

UNION GETTING ON TOP

More shots from Union, but they are still trailing. There is still time, though.

GAMBLE TIME

Voglsammer comes on as Urs Fischer goes all out attack - a forward on for a defender for the final 15 minutes.
68'

WEAK FROM BECKER

Becker finds some space on the other side this time, but his shot is too weak to cause Burchert any problems.
64'

LONG DROUGHT FOR NIELSEN

Nielsen's goal was his first in the Bundesliga since spring 2014, when he netted two in one game for Eintracht Braunschweig.
63'

AWONIYI ON

Union's top scorer takes to the field - can he turn things around for them?
63'

Substitution

62'

INJURY FOR ABIAMA?

As Abiama leaves the field, he has a discussion with his coach, looking gingerly down at his right ankle. Either way, Leweling is on to lead the Fürth attack for the final half an hour.
60'

ANOTHER UNION CHANCE!

Prömel did not really believe the ball would fall at his feet just in front of Burchert and he therefore did not manage to get anything on his shot, with the Fürth keeper happy to pick up the ball.
58'

GREAT SAVE!

Behrens thinks he has brought Union level, but Burchert denies him with a fine save!
56'

BUNDLED IN!

It doesn't matter how they go in, but that it goes in, and as Union fail to clear their lines from a corner, Nielsen scuffs his effort and it takes a deflection on its way in.

Håvard Nielsen
53'

HARAG OOOOH CHI!

That was close! Union's first real shot on goal comes from Haraguchi from fully 25 yards out, but he misses just to the right.
48'

BRIGHT FROM BECKER

A positive early sign for Union as Becker - arguably for the first time all match - manages to get a run on his full-back, but there is no teammate in the middle for his flashed cross.
Kick-off!

TIGHT HALF

Nothing between the two teams in that first half with the hosts putting up a brave fight and Union unable to get their usual game going.
Half-time
39'

BRAVE BURCHERT!

Burchert times it right this time to come off his line and get the ball just ahead of Behrens!
33'

SEGUIN IN THE BOOK

Seguin's boot is a bit too high Gießelmann and that's a yellow card for him - his seventh of the season.

TIGHT AND EVEN

There's been nothing between the two teams so far.

FÜRTH FIGHTING

The hosts are looking very hungry and giving it all they've got to get that elusive first win of the season.
20'

HRGOTA'S NEXT EFFORT

Hrgota has the second shot on target for the hosts, threading his effort through two defenders, but the focus on accuracy meant there was not enough power behind it and Luthe collects it easily.
13'

WALKABURCHERT

Burchert comes off his line, but cannot get there as Union attack. He retreats and is lucky that the cross goes long and the danger is over.
11'

UNION TAKING CONTROL

Pinball in the hosts' box as Union respond to that early chance. The guests now enjoying more of the ball.
8'

ABIAMA CLOSE!

Abiama has the first chance of the game for Fürth, but Luthe makes the save with his foot! Great chance for the hosts!
Kick-off!
