Eintracht Braunschweig only manages a 1-1 draw at Greuther Fürth and misses out on possible early relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga.
Anthony Ujah (10′) gave Eintracht an early lead (10′), Julian Green equalized (23′). After the break, Immanuel Pherai’s goal raised Braunschweig’s hopes of staying up early, but Fürth hit back again through Green (54′).
Only three points left relegation place
Due to Bielefeld’s victory in Kaiserslautern, Brunswick (36 points) has shrunk from five to three points for the relegation place. Direct descent is also still possible for Eintracht.
Fürth hasn’t been saved either
Fürth, now without a win in four games, is still not saved with 38 points and five points ahead of the sixteenth from Bielefeld two games before the end.
Braunschweig was the more determined team for long stretches and pushed for the hoped-for liberation until the final phase. Ujah, in particular, repeatedly caused unrest in the opposing penalty area, and Eintracht’s striker also missed the chance of a last-minute win in added time when he headed over the goal.
