Thanks to a clear improvement in performance, 1. FC Nürnberg earned three points in Sandhausen. Newcomer Duah becomes the match winner. "Club" trainer Klauss still finds critical words.
Sandhausen (dpa / lby) - Kwadwo Duah spread his arms and stormed to the bench of 1. FC Nuremberg. With a remarkable 16-meter hammer, the 25-year-old newcomer got his teammates and coaches going wild in the 93rd minute on Saturday and gave the second division soccer team a happy 2-1 win at SV Sandhausen. "I'm happy that I was able to help the team and give the fans a win," said the striker, who left FC. St. Gallen had come.
Even the otherwise introverted "Club" coach Robert Klauß couldn't sit still after the last-minute goal. "It was an indescribable feeling how we all celebrated together after the goal," reported the soccer teacher.
The negative trend in Franconia stopped for the time being a week after the miserable 0:3 against Heidenheim. Thanks to an increase in performance in the second half, the ambitious Nurembergers managed their second win of the season in front of 5701 spectators. "In the end we wanted it a bit more and were lucky to win," said Klauss.
The 37-year-old also found critical words for the again bad first 45 minutes, in which Nuremberg fell behind through a goal by Bashkim Ajdini (33rd). "That was just not enough. Not enough courage, not enough energy," Klauß complained.
Nuremberg fought their way back into the game after the break and Christoph Daferner (49') equalized with a header after a corner kick. "We really deserved it then," said the scorer.
The Nuremberg kickers celebrated their success with a La Ola wave in front of the packed guest block. Klauss was probably already thinking about the next home game against Hamburger SV: "The lesson from the game must be that we always bring our face to the table in the second half," demanded the FCN coach.
