Nuremberg (dpa / lby) - 1. FC Nuremberg has experienced a debacle in the 2nd Bundesliga. The defensive confused team of coach Markus Weinzierl was mercilessly punished on Sunday at 0:5 (0:3) by 1. FC Heidenheim. Forward Tim Kleindienst scored his team's first four goals (19th minute/23rd/39th/81st). Marnon Busch (86th) put the final point against Nürnberger, who were outnumbered for almost an hour after a red card for gross fouls against Enrico Valentini (34th).
In this form, the "club" has to worry about staying up in the league. Weinzierl's team is 13th in the table with 22 points, but is only two points ahead of relegation rank 16.
Kleindienst was there for the first time after 19 minutes because Jan Gyamerah failed to clear the ball. He also benefited from an individual error with his second goal. This time Jens Castrop made a mistake and the scorer was left alone at the far post to make it 3-0. At this point, Nuremberg were already outnumbered after Valentini saw the red card after kicking Jan-Niklas Beste.
Even after the change of sides, there was far too little from the guests to initiate a turnaround. The Heidenheimer managed the lead before Kleindienst added again. He was substituted immediately afterwards. But FCH didn't have enough, Busch also took advantage of Nuremberg's loss of the ball.
