Turbulent end of the 27th match day of the 2nd Bundesliga. In the basement duel between Münster and Braunschweig, the doorbell rings after 8.5 seconds. A little later, the end result has already been determined. Nuremberg awards a gigantic opportunity in Regensburg and FC Schalke is experiencing a very wild afternoon.
SpVgg Greuther Fürth – FC Schalke 04 3: 3 (2: 1)
In a wild game with a stroke of genius by Kenan Karaman and a clear deficit, Schalke 04 prevented the next defeat in the 2nd Bundesliga at the last second – but possibly lost goalkeeper Loris Karius. In the 3: 3 (1: 2) of the royal blue at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, the keeper, who had only become number one at the end of February, was injured and was only able to leave the place with the help.
Captain Karaman scored early for the Gelsenkirchener (9th). But Roberto Massimo (11th) and Jomaine Consbruch (26th) turned the game in favor of the Franks before the break – each according to video evidence. Dennis Srbeny increased when the defense of the guests again slept (54.). Shortly before the end, Amin Younes (84th) shortened before substitute Moussa Sylla equalized (90.+5).
Karaman initially put Schalke in the lead quickly: The Turkish international sprinted into Keeper Nahuel Noll in a short back pass from Massimo and fled the ball into the goal from an acute angle. After that it became even more curious: the 1-1 was initially revoked because of the sidelines, after minutes of review of several scenes, the Fürth cheered.
Schalke’s defense, in which the young Argentinian Felipe Sánchez started again since October, wobbled. Karius and the post initially saved, then the unsafe referee Tom Bauer whistled an extremely controversial penalty. Simon Asta had gone to the ground after a duel with Paul Seguin and minimal touch. Karius parried the penalty of Srbeny as well as his margin, but then the ball put the ball over the line. Again the Var Robert Hartmann had to intervene because the Schalke goalkeeper claimed a foul. But the goal counted.
For Karius, it was over before the break: The former Keeper of FC Liverpool, who had given his comeback in German professional football on January 28 after four years, resigned with an injury to the left calf. Justin Heekeren, whom he had suppressed, returned to the goal (45.+4).
Prussia Münster-Eintracht Braunschweig 1: 1 (1: 1)
First light awakened, then sluggish: Eintracht Braunschweig missed the longed-for liberation in the fight against relegation in the Keller-Krimi near Prussia Münster despite a flash gate of Richmond Tachie after 8.5 seconds. The lions did not get beyond a 1: 1 (1: 1) on the duel of the two traditional clubs on the duel of the two traditional clubs. For Münster, Marc Lorenz also hit the rapid initial phase (4th).
Braunschweig has been waiting for a win for five games, the team of Daniel Schering has to be a table-16. continue to fear the crash into the third class. Münster is three points ahead of Braunschweig in 15th place. The guests caught a dream start through tachie, the 25-year-old scored the second fastest goal in the second division history. Tachie was only a little slower on Sunday than Benjamin Siegert on October 5, 2007 – after just eight seconds, he scored 1-0 for SV Wehen Wiesbaden at SpVgg Greuther Fürth.
But the Braunschweig joy only lasted briefly, Lorenz equalized a little later – after that Münster had more of the game and came to good opportunities. In contrast, the overall ranks of Lower Saxony hardly went anything after the lead goal on the offensive, but Jannis Nikolaou also had double aluminum pitch in a header (63.).
Jahn Regensburg – 1st FC Nürnberg 2: 1 (0: 1)
The last convincing 1st FC Nürnberg missed the great chance in the narrow promotion race to move to the relegation place to two points. The club lost 1: 2 (1-0) in the bottom of Jahn Regensburg despite good opportunities. The team of coach Miroslav Klose took the lead early through Janis Anteste (11th). Regensburg equalized through an own goal of Florian Flick (47th). Noah Ganaus (55.) turned the game.
For Regensburg, which had experienced an evil 3: 8 swatter at the first leg in Nuremberg, it was an important sign of life after six winning playing in the relegation battle after six winless games. The young FCN team, on the other hand, had to accept a dampers with the games against the promotion aspirants Hamburg, Kaiserslautern, Paderborn, Düsseldorf and Cologne before the end of the season. However, the old master has no pressure. Klose had spoken of an “encore” before the game at Jahn.
The club started dangerously without the stricken striker Stefanos Tzimas and rewarded himself early. After 23 minutes, however, captain Robin Knoche had to go out. At first this did not change the game. Nuremberg remained dominant, but missed the decision with some chances before the break. This should take revenge when the flick, which had substituted for Knoche, dropped a flank into his own goal and shortly afterwards Ganaus hit his head.
