A brilliant pass from Jean-Paul Boetius gave SV Darmstadt 98 against SpVgg Greuther Fürth three important points for relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga. The “lilies” won 1-0 (0-0) on Saturday in a very weak game.
Boetius’ Steckpass on Isac Lidberg in the 79th minute of the game used the Swede to win the picke. In the final phase, the hosts were a little closer to the second goal than the Fürther equalized. Thanks to the “Golden Gate”, Coach Florian Kohfeldt’s team pushed itself past Fürth in 11th place.
Fürth’s Itter: “A typical kack game”
Goal scorer Boetius said after the game about the sports show: “We had a few chances. After I got in, we were the dominant team and then the goal was made.” He also hoped that the team will now keep calm: “Sure, we know how important every game is now. We also fought in the last games – today we were rewarded.” His trainer Kohfeldt said to the sports show: “We were more active in the second half and therefore deservedly won.” And he added: “That was the third home win in a row, the third time too zero – I really like that.”
“We didn’t play a good game”said his colleague Jan Siewert, and with a view to the table cellar, the coach added: “I always said that this season is about relegation – and it has not yet ended.” “The game was often interrupted because there was no game flow”said Fürth’s Luca Itter after the game at the microphone of the sports show, “Then in the end it was a typical kack game that you lose 1-0.”
Little usable from Darmstadt and Fürth
The first section of the game took place in the most beautiful sunshine at the Darmstadt stadium at the Böllenfalltor – there was much more to be admired for the 16,000 fans. At most, a non -punishable handball by Fürth’s Joshua Quarhie caused excitement. But the situation presented the referee team around Lars Erbst at his second division premiere with no problems.

Darmstadt’s hornby has to be injured
In the second round, too, the two teams did not offer a significant increase in performance – although the fans did not decrease in their support.
Darmstadt’s Fraser Hornby had to be treated several times, after duels the Scotsman went down several times. In the 62nd minute it was over for him. Hornby was replaced injured.
Lidberg’s hit for Darmstadt announced himself
A good quarter of an hour before the official game ended Lidberg dangerously in front of the Fürther Tor for the first time: after a cross from Philipp Förster from the right side, the striker headed on the goal. But Nahuel Noll in the box of the Franks tore up his arm with a reflex and fended off the ball.
But Lidberg did not give up and then executed a few minutes later. Passgeber Boetius had only been brought into play by Kohfeldt five minutes earlier.

Fürth’s coach Jan Siewert changed five times from the 76th minute – but the “cloverleaf” could no longer prevent the defeat.
