2 – 4
“Felix Klaus converted a penalty to put Fürth ahead, rewarding early Fürth pressure after Itter and Justvan had both tested the Nürnberg goal in the preceding minutes.”
“Felix Klaus struck again to restore Fürth's lead at 2-1, assisted by Dennis Srbeny, but only after a VAR check had initially disallowed the effort for offside — adding nearly two minutes of tension before the goal stood.”
“Julian Justvan struck deep into first-half stoppage time to level at 2-2, denying Fürth a half-time lead they had worked hard to establish and completely resetting the contest heading into the break.”
Pivotal“Justvan completed his brace early in the second half, finishing Fynn Otto's assist to make it 2-3 and hand Nürnberg the lead for the first time — the moment that gave the visitors full control of the derby.”

Outstanding performance
Nürnberg•MidfielderNürnberg came from behind twice to dismantle Fürth 4-2 in a Franconian derby that never settled. Fürth took early control through Felix Klaus's penalty and his instinctive second goal just after the half-hour, but their two-goal cushion lasted barely four minutes each time, with Piet Scobel and Julian Justvan repeatedly pulling Nürnberg level. The turning point came on the stroke of half-time when Justvan, who had already been booked, fired in a stunning equaliser to level at 2-2, and he picked up exactly where he left off after the break, converting Fynn Otto's assist to make it 2-3 just nine minutes in. Scobel then sealed it with a cool finish on 74 minutes, leaving Fürth's five second-half substitutions looking like panic rather than plan. Nürnberg edged the possession and passing statistics — 56 percent of the ball and 86 percent pass accuracy against Fürth's 81 — and though the hosts created four big chances to Nürnberg's three, it was the visitors who converted when it mattered most, with Scobel and Justvan combining for all four goals and Klaus's penalty heroics for Fürth ultimately coming to nothing.
