Düsseldorf averts defeat against Fürth

Dusseldorf (SID) Fortuna Düsseldorf barely averted another defeat in the 2nd Bundesliga. Coach Friedhelm Funkel's team fought to a 1-1 (0-1) draw against SpVgg Greuther Fürth and showed good morale in the process. Nevertheless, Fortuna could lose the lead in the table during the 23rd matchday to 1. FC Nürnberg, who will play against MSV Duisburg on Sunday (13.30:XNUMX p.m./Sky). Fürth, which won the first leg against the promotion contender (3-1), missed important points in the fight to stay in the league. Maximilian Wittek (10th) converted a free kick from a tight angle into the opening goal, which Takashi Usami (76th) equalized in front of 23.849 spectators. Düsseldorf's Rouwen Hennings had previously scored (64'), but referee Sören Storks recognized an offside position. Although Düsseldorf dominated the game for long stretches, they rarely threatened the Fürth goal. The best chance was missed by Julian Schauerte (30th), who was denied by keeper Sascha Burchert in a one-on-one. The opening goal played into Fürth's hands, and coach Damir Buric's team restricted itself even more to defense from then on. Fortuna initially found no solutions on the poor pitch in the Düsseldorf Arena, and the standards were of no use either. Only Usami managed to get the deserved equalizer.
