Greuther Fürth embarrassed themselves at home - 0:2 against Holstein Kiel!
On August 24, 2025, an exciting duel in the 2nd Bundesliga was on the program in the Greuther Fürth stadium: SpVgg Greuther Fürth met Holstein Kiel. Unfortunately for the hosts, the three points ultimately went to the North Germans. Fürth had to admit defeat 0-2 and is still waiting for its second win of the season.
The first half started rather slowly. While Kiel hit the side netting through Phil Harres in the third minute, the Fürth offensive was unable to pose any acute dangers. David Zec missed a good chance for Kiel when he hit the crossbar from close range (19th minute). Fürth then found an opportunity in the form of Julian Green, which Kiel's goalkeeper Jonas Krumrey successfully fended off (22nd minute). Shortly before the half-time whistle, Jonas Therkelsen gave the guests the lead when he slotted into the empty goal after a quick counterattack (31st minute).
A sleepy start and a strong keel
The second half began and initially Kiel seemed to be in control of the game. However, Pelle Boevink, the Fürth goalkeeper, was able to defuse another dangerous situation against Steven Skrzybski (51st minute). Greuther Fürth clearly put the game shares in the foreground, but the really compelling chances simply didn't work. Futkeu called for a penalty in the 76th minute, but referee Felix Bickel allowed play to continue.
Although Fürth pushed to equalize, the shots remained too imprecise. The crowning moment for Kiel came in stoppage time: John Tolkin made it 2-0 when Boevink had previously been active offensively in the opponent's penalty area and the decision was thus made clear. The full record between Fürth and Kiel shows a total of 4 wins for Fürth, 4 draws and 4 wins for Kiel, which underlines the rivalry between the two teams, as kicker.de reports.
The situation in the league
With this victory, Kiel was able to celebrate its first league game win of the season and thus avert a false start to the 2025/2026 season. This season has been underway since August 1st and promises exciting football action in the 2nd Bundesliga, as Statista shows. The number of spectators is high, with a recent 99 percent occupancy rate in the stadiums, which underlines the great interest in this league.
Fürth, who have already recorded one win and one defeat this season, will now play in Magdeburg on Sunday, August 30th (1:30 p.m.), while Kiel hosts leaders Hannover on Saturday at 1 p.m. The next games promise exciting battles again!
