Prussia Münster deservedly won 2-1 (2-0) on Friday evening against the struck 1. FC Nürnberg. Nuremberg is in the crisis at the latest. Coach Miroslav Klose still doesn’t have to worry about his job.

Oliver Batista-Meier (32nd) and Marvin Schluz (43.) made Münster earned in the first half. Nuremberg made the game exciting again after a slightly better appearance in the second half by Rafael Lübach (74th). However, the late rearing was not enough.

With the fourth defeat in the fourth game, the civil start in Nuremberg is perfect. Klose, who was already after the cup debacle against Illertissen “stormy times“Prophene, faces the greatest challenge of his young coaching career. “If you don’t have self -confidence, you don’t get a lot of actions. And if you have them, you are too hectic”he said in the sports show interview.

Tired Münsterans make the game

It took almost 10 minutes for the Münsterans, who had played in the cup for 120 minutes on Monday, a solution for the high starting of the Nuremberg. But then they were in the game – and how. As with the unfortunate cup out against Hertha BSC, the team from Alexander Ende almost always managed to playfully free himself from the opponent print. Hardly a long ball, but one-touch combinations and strong dribbling, Münster has regularly brought in front of the Nuremberg penalty area.

“Münster found his combination game“, Klose then said about this phase of the game. “You have seen in the last games what kind of dominance you can then spark. That is very difficult.”

Designed double pack brings Münster in the lead

After several chances within a few minutes, the eagles were rewarded with the lead goal in the 32nd minute. Batista-Meier was able to pick up on the left outer lane against wide-ranging Nuremberg pace, pull in the middle and turn flat.

Before the break, Münster deservedly increased and worth seeing to 2: 0. This time Batista-Meier put on the center from the right steeply, where Joshua Mees let the ball pass through his legs with an overview. Schulz, who had speculated on exactly this feat, took the ball in the run behind Mees and hit the left corner in a movement. Nuremberg, completely surprised by the Münster Spielwitz, could only watch.

Nuremberg finds too late in the game

In the second half, the Münsterers were increasingly being seen that the long cup appearance on Monday and the intensive first half cost strength. The rooms between the chains grew larger and more and more frequently reach the FCN steep passports into the penalty area.

FCN-Youngster Lubach could easily insert one of them at the bottom left of the 74th minute. So tension came into this game again. In the remaining 20 minutes it was a game on a goal. The Prussians, who acted too passively after the goal and could be incorporated into their own sixteen, hardly managed to relieve them. If the game had taken a little longer, it might even have ended lightly for Klose and his team. So the time was not enough.

Klose remains a trainer

Despite the bad start, Klose does not have to worry about his job with three league defeats and the first round in the trophy. During the week, sports director Joti Chatzialexiou emphasized that a change of coach was not up for debate even when the appearance in Münster was bad. “Trust is important because we want to build something here – with Miro. That is why it will be important that we stick together”he said in the sports picture.

The club boss also knows that after a few million exits (Stefanos Tzimas, Finn Jeltsch, Jens Castrop) there is still an urgent need for action in the young squad. In Mohamed Ali Zoma (21) by the Italian third division club UC Albinoleffe, a new striker was hired on Tuesday. Further transfers until September 1 are planned.
