Fürth (AP) - Joker Dickson Abiama saved promotion candidate SpVgg Greuther Fürth from a defeat in the 268th Franconian derby against 1. FC Nürnberg.
The 22-year-old striker saved the home side with his goal in the third minute of stoppage time on Sunday a point at 2: 2 (1: 0).
In the highly entertaining neighborhood duel, the people of Fürth averted a severe setback in the promotion race of the 2nd Bundesliga and remain in third place.
The Nuremberg team missed a big point in the battle for relegation, but are six points ahead of relegation rank 16.
Havard Nielsen, who had already scored twice in the 3-2 in the first leg, brought the Fürth in the 8th minute into the lead.
In an emotional local fight, the Nuremberg-born and “Club” captain Enrico Valentini (57th) was lucky with his shot deflected by David Raum.
The 19-year-old starting eleven debutant Erik Schuranow (76.) almost secured his entry in the Derby history books before the international break with the winning goal before the substitute Abiama put the finishing touches.
