SpVgg Greuther Fürth defeated Dynamo Dresden and spoiled the Saxons' comeback game in the 2nd Bundesliga. Thanks to double goalscorer Noel Futkeu, the hosts prevailed 3:2 (2:1) in a controversial and eventful match. The 22-year-old scored after less than half a minute and also in the 51st minute. Felix Klaus made it 2:0 for Fürth in the meantime (9'). The goals from Christoph Daferner (11) and Claudio Kammerknecht (74) were not enough for Dresden.
In the sometimes fast-paced encounter, promoted Dynamo largely dominated the game after a botched opening phase with significantly more shots on goal. However, there were not many compelling chances for coach Thomas Stamm's team in front of 15,631 spectators.
