Fürth (AP) - SpVgg Greuther Fürth has set the next sign in the promotion of the 2nd Bundesliga and has positioned itself as the first pursuer of table leaders VfL Bochum.
Coach Stefan Leitl's team defeated Eintracht Braunschweig 3-0 (3-0) on Tuesday evening after a three-pack of goals in the first half.
After the fifth unbeaten game in a row, the Franks are only three points behind the Bochumers.
The lead over pursuers Hamburger SV, who will play their catch-up game at SV Sandhausen on Thursday, is four points.
The Fürth people appeared with the determination of a future climber.
With a remarkable side pull, Sebastian 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.
