After a pass from Mats Möller Daehli, Nuremberg striker Kwadwo Duah moved from a promising position (6th). The “Club” kept the pressure on and almost scored a slapstick goal: After a strong individual performance by Lino Tempelmann, Braunschweig goalkeeper Jasmin Fejzic repelled the Nuremberg player’s shot from a tight angle, but the ball bounced off the crossbar in a roundabout way (13th minute). ).
The second half began with a shot from close range by Eintracht striker Lion Lauberbach, which goalkeeper Peter Vindahl Jensen parried (46′). On the other hand, Fejzic saved against Duah in dire need. The Braunschweig defense cleared Fabian Nürnberger’s follow-up shot just before the line (49′). However, Fejzic was powerless when Hübner headed the ball and Gyamerah shot from distance.
