Fürth claw one back!

Could there still be something in it for the Clover Leaves? After a corner from Itter, Dal rises highest in the six-yard box and heads it in to halve the deficit! This is surely going to be a heated final phase...

Half-time: Fürth 0-1 Bochum

Big chance for Fürth!

On the left side of the penalty area, Klaus receives the through ball and attempts a low shot from a tight angle, but Horn gets down quickly to make the save! That was Fürth's best attack so far!

The new signing scores!

Wittek intercepts a misplaced pass in Fürth's build-up play and immediately plays Rasmussen through on goal, who keeps his composure centrally in the penalty area and is able to slot the ball into the right corner! The goal will certainly inject some momentum into the match now!
