Outstanding performance
Energie Cottbus•MidfielderCottbus started brightly, taking an early lead through Lucas Copado, but a stoppage-time penalty and a disastrous own goal in the space of two minutes flipped the momentum entirely in Fürth's favor heading into the second half. Fürth then controlled the game's key moments, with Tolcay Cigerci and Ole Pohlmann scoring in a two-minute burst before Klaus struck again to make it 2-4, seemingly putting the game to bed. Despite dominating possession (54%) and out-shooting Fürth 23-14, Cottbus were punished for their defensive fragility and made things interesting with a late Dmytro Bogdanov goal in the 90th minute, though it proved too little too late. The result drops Cottbus back down the table while Fürth's clinical edge in front of goal, despite fewer shots and less possession, proved decisive.

Kick-off! The referee is Felix Weller.
Two sides licking their wounds from DFB-Pokal exits meet at the Stadion der Freundschaft in a 2. Bundesliga clash that could define early-season momentum. Cottbus hold home advantage and a slight standings edge, while a struggling Fürth side desperately need their first league win to climb off the foot of the table.
