Goalkeeper Linde keeps Fürth in the game
As a result, Fürth remained the slightly more active team. Coach Stefan Leitl’s team combined well and repeatedly appeared dangerously in front of Mark Flekken in the Breisgau goal. But Fürth’s captain Branimir Hrgota (18th) and Marco Meyerhöfer (20th) missed the possible lead. On the other hand, the “Kleeblätter” were lucky that a save by Hrgota against Schlotterbeck did not result in a penalty (23rd).
In an otherwise balanced first half, Vincenzo Grifo almost gave Freiburg the lead. But his shot from close range, after a low cross from Sallai, was cleared by Linde for a corner (36′).
