Fürth (dpa / lby) - This is how a potential climber presents himself.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth has set the next sign in the 2nd Bundesliga and has positioned itself as the first pursuer of league leaders VfL Bochum.

Coach Stefan Leitl's team defeated Eintracht Braunschweig 3-0 (3-0) on Tuesday evening after a three-pack of goals.

After the fifth unbeaten game in a row, the Franks are only three points behind the Bochumers.

The lead over pursuers Hamburger SV on relegation rank three, who will play his catch-up game at SV Sandhausen on Thursday, is four points.

"Very satisfied," said Leitl.

“All in all, it was a well-deserved victory.

We were very focused from the start. "

Regarding the possible advancement, Leitl said: "It is still a dream and we live it, we live it from game to game."

Midfield engine Sebastian Ernst said: “We just want to go full throttle every day in every game.

We get along great as a team. "

The Fürth people appeared with the determination of a future climber.

With a remarkable side pull, Ernst put the hosts in the lead in the ninth minute.

The Braunschweiger were at times overwhelmed with the fast combinations of the Fürth.

Captain Branimir Hrgota (19./Foul penalty) and the former Eintracht striker Havard Nielsen (33.) made everything clear for the Fürth before the break.

Leitl's team can take the next step towards promotion at FC St. Pauli on Sunday.

The people of Fürth got going quickly.

Hrgota hit a splendid diagonal pass to David Raum on the left.

Its flank completes Ernst with a remarkable side pull for the lead.

And it went on rapidly.

Oumar Diakhite clumsily knocked Nielsen off his feet in his own penalty area.

Referee Robert Hartmann consequently decided on a penalty, which Hrgota converted cool.

The Fürth team, who started with the same starting eleven as in the 2-2 draw against Darmstadt, were the clearly superior team.

They played confidently and impressed with quick combinations.

So also at 3-0, when Nielsen completed an attack via Julian Green and Hrgota against his former team.

And the Braunschweiger?

They had a dangerous player in Dong-Won Ji, but the guests from Fürth kept the guests busy on the defensive.

Somewhat surprising, because the Braunschweig team had only conceded three goals in eight games.

The people of Fürth could afford to shift down a gear after the change.

They still had chances to make it 4-0.

Paul Seguin (51) failed after a quick attack on goalkeeper Jasmin Fejzic, who was able to clear with a defensive foot.

In the final phase, the Fürth played down the game confidently.
