Fürth (AP) - SpVgg Greuther Fürth had to be content with one point in the fight for promotion to the Bundesliga after a mistake by goalkeeper Sascha Burchert.
The Franconians missed the desired and possible victory on Saturday in a 2-2 (1: 2) against Karlsruher SC.
Philipp Hofmann (4th minute) and aided by the Burchert faux pas Marco Thiede (36th) ensured the KSC leadership twice.
Havard Nielsen (26th) and Branimir Hrgota (70th / foul penalty) brought the playfully strong Fürth back twice.
Hofmann once played for the Franks for half a year, now the KSC attacker annoyed his ex-club in the promotion race.
After a cross from Sebastian Jung, Hofmann prevailed in the air duel against Paul Jaeckel, who was not optimally positioned, and celebrated his eleventh goal of the season.
Fürth quickly recovered from the goal conceded and came to a deserved and consistent compensation.
But after Burchert steered a Thiede shot himself into the goal that was actually too unplaced, the Franconians had to run after a deficit again.
Fürth remained clearly superior - and rewarded himself with another equalization.
After a foul on Hrgota, he converted safely himself.
Another penalty after a handball by Christoph Kobald was not given after the video referee intervened (72nd).
Fürth pushed and pushed, but the winning goal was no longer successful.
