The 1st FC Nürnberg may dream of promotion eight game days before the end of the 2nd Bundesliga. With a convincing 3: 0 (3: 0) in the 274th Francenderby against SpVgg Greuther Fürth, the team of coach Miroslav Klose shortened their gap to four points.
In addition to double scorer Julian Justvan (4th/39th), Stefanos Tzimas (45.+4) met, two goals prepared Caspar Jander.
In the fight for the relegation rank, however, the Nurembergers still have an extremely difficult remaining program to cope: opponents until the end of the season include Hamburger SV, Kaiserslautern, Paderborn, Düsseldorf and Cologne.
However, the club can already record a rare success: for the first time since the 1977/78 season, he won both duels against the cloverleaf.
As with the 4: 0 (3-0) in the first leg, the club took the lead early: The then double goal scorer Tzimas let Jander Clever crossed, Justvan Castle. After that, there were hardly any chances on both sides before Luca Itter saved Anteste (34th) after his own mistake at the last second. Justvan then completed a cross from Tim Drexler, Tzimas a dream pass from Jander.
The clear lead to the break was an expression of a skillful pressing of the hosts – and merciless efficiency. In the second half, Nuremberg performed very confidently. The nine -time German champion was awake in the duels, controlled the ball and opponents convincingly. Fürth seemed to be missing the conviction of being able to give the game another turn.
