It was only on the last matchday of the 3rd league that Rot-Weiss Essen jumped into the relegation zone, and now the club is only one step away from the 2nd Bundesliga.
Rot-Weiss Essen won the first leg of the relegation leg for the 2nd Bundesliga against Greuther Fürth 1-0 (0-0) and thus secured a slight advantage for the second leg next Tuesday (8.30 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online).
Torben Müsel (62nd) scored the decisive goal with a direct free kick from around 20 meters. Müsel had previously almost taken the lead. However, Fürth’s goalkeeper Silas Prurock still made an artistic save.
