Fürth beats Arminia: Drama in stoppage time!
An exciting football Sunday in Bielefeld ended for the local team in the second Bundesliga with a bitter defeat against Greuther Fürth. Despite a dominant style of play, the DSC Arminia Bielefeld players had to admit defeat 1:3 last weekend. The team lined up by head coach Mitch Kniat remained unchanged compared to the previous week, when they celebrated a clear 2-0 win against Magdeburg. The team had high hopes that day, but the result highlighted their ambivalent performances.
In the first half everything seemed to be going well for Bielefeld. With 65 percent possession of the ball, the opponent was pushed onto the defensive. Felix Hagmann had a chance to take the lead in the early stages, but failed due to a failed combination with Jonny Grodowski. On the other hand, the Fürth team were dangerous, especially Felix Klaus, who fell in the penalty area, and Marco John, who missed some good opportunities. In the 25th minute it was Noel Futkeu who scored 0-1 for the guests.
The setback
The second half started better for Bielefeld, with Marius Wörl equalizing in the 50th minute. Nevertheless, the Fürth team remained dangerous offensively. Hrgota failed with a lob and Grodowski also had the potential to take the lead, but missed the opportunity. The guests struck again in the 80th minute: Marco John sent a cross into the net to make it 1-2, and shortly before the end Klaus made the final score 1-3 with his goal in stoppage time.
The attendance of 25,836 was testament to the support of the fans, but the setback showed once again how thin the line is to success in the league. Yellow cards were given to Isi Young and Mehlem from Bielefeld as well as Klaus from Fürth, which underlined the heated game. Referee Tobias Welz had his hands full managing the game.
The outlook for the next games
Despite the defeat, Mitch Kniat's team still has enough time to score points against their upcoming opponents. There are more exciting matches in the league on the schedule this weekend. On this match day, fans can expect games such as VfB Stuttgart against FC St. Pauli and Rasenballsport Leipzig against 1. FC Köln. The sport of football remains passionate and tireless - hopes rest on the next appearances of the Arminians, who want to get back on the road to success.
