Outstanding performance
SpVgg Greuther Fürth•GoalkeeperHertha BSC made the most of a quiet first hour by striking twice in quick succession through substitute Mads Pedersen and then Paul Seguin, turning a tight contest into a two-goal cushion inside 15 second-half minutes. Greuther Fürth dominated the underlying numbers, out-possessing Hertha 58-42%, completing more passes, and winning 12 corners to 5, but wasted their control with only 5 shots on target from 17 attempts. Jannis Heuer's stoppage-time strike gave the visitors a nervy finish and reward for their pressure, but it proved too little too late. The result keeps Hertha's push going while Fürth will rue their inefficiency in front of goal despite enjoying the lion's share of the ball.
