Sportschau on WhatsApp: https://www.sportschau.de/ Fürth started offensively and bravely and had the first good chance. Branimir Hrgota played a brilliant pass into the penalty area to Felix Klaus, but Fabian Nürnberger rushed in at the last moment and deflected the ball, which then flew wide of the goal. ` ... Darmstadt finally managed to break free from Fürth's high press after ten minutes. Kai Klefisch played a long ball towards Fraser Hornby, who curled it with fine technique directly towards goal – just over the bar. But Fürth remained the dominant team. They often moved the ball forward quickly, directly, and without unnecessary fuss, but lacked penetration in the final third, frequently becoming too inaccurate or overly complicated. Darmstadt, meanwhile, focused on defending. Darmstadt's opening goal came practically out of nowhere. Fürth's goalkeeper, Silas Prüfrock, parried a rather harmless shot from Klefisch, and Lidberg was well-positioned to tap in the rebound. Fürth's response was swift. During a corner, the ball struck Marco Richter's hand, and referee Eric Weisbach pointed to the spot. Futkeu confidently converted the penalty. The score was 1-1 at halftime. As at the start of the match, Fürth were the better team in the second half and had a double chance. First, Hrgota, after a pass from Futkeu, failed to convert a counter-attack, his shot saved by Darmstadt goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen. Shortly afterward, the keeper was equal to Philipp Ziereis' powerful header from a corner. Midway through the second half, Darmstadt took control. To stay in contention for promotion, they desperately needed a win. Fürth sat back and waited for counter-attacking opportunities. In the 77th minute, it happened: Darmstadt took the lead again. Richter chipped the ball into the penalty area, and the ball fell to substitute Furukawa, who slotted it home from six yards. But Fürth didn't give up. Klaus delivered a sharp cross from the right, and Futkeu showcased his striker's prowess. His first attempt was saved by Schuhen, but he put the rebound over the line. After that, it was an open, end-to-end affair, and Darmstadt almost struck back again, but Lidberg's shot hit the crossbar. Then Futkeu struck for the third time. Hrgota made a nice run down the right side of the penalty area and passed into the middle, where Futkeu was once again perfectly positioned to score the much-celebrated winning goal.
