The "Club" leads twice in Braunschweig - and in the end loses 2:4 against the newly promoted team without a win. Seven points after seven games do not match Nuremberg's high goals for the season.
Braunschweig (dpa / lby) - 1. FC Nuremberg has reached a temporary low point. After the next heavy defeat with 2:4 (2:2) at the previously winless promoted Eintracht Braunschweig, the promotion places in the 2nd Bundesliga are a long way off. The traveling fans articulated their displeasure after the final whistle.
The injury-plagued "Club" even lost a two-time lead through midfielder Jens Castrop (10th minute) and striker Kwadwo Duah (29th) on Friday evening. "We can't get our foot on the ground after the break. Four goals conceded are crazy," commented midfielder Lino Temepelmann on Sky.
Robert Klauß's team just can't find any consistency and only sporadically calls on their potential. Head coach Klauß and his players inevitably find themselves in need of explanation after just seven points from seven games. "We failed as a team. You can't win a second division game like that," said goalkeeper Christian Mathenia.
The 17,173 spectators at Eintracht Stadium witnessed an amazing game. The hosts initially ran helplessly after the ball and opponents before they finally deservedly won, led by double goal scorer Fabio Kaufmann (13./61.). Anthony Ujah (44th) and Immanuel Pherai (59th) with a long-range shot scored the other Eintracht goals. "It's hard to find an explanation for what happened, said Mathenia. "I've had a bad day too. In the second half we failed to get second division football on the plate. We were no longer there. These things happen to us on a regular basis."
Initially, Nuremberg had clearly determined the game. They were superior in midfield. Young Castrop's first professional goal and attacker Duah's third goal of the season were the logical consequence. Defensively, however, the "club" lacked any stability.
Goalkeeper Mathenia looked bad at Kaufmann's first goal from an acute angle into the near corner, and he was also unlucky with the second. After the double strike to 2: 4 after the break, the rearing up was unsuccessful. Tempelmann hit the crossbar (79th).
