FC Zürich 2:3 SpVgg Greuther Fürth — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Felix Klaus scored twice as SpVgg Greuther Fürth edged FC Zürich 3-2 in a Club Friendly, with defender Leandro Schödler the standout performer despite being on the losing side. The match was a chaotic, end-to-end affair that saw the lead change hands twice before Fürth's quality told.

The game erupted after a tame opening half-hour, when Selmin Hodza was booked for Zürich just before Felix Klaus opened the scoring for Fürth in the 29th minute. Zürich responded brilliantly, with Schödler setting up Juan José Perea in the 40th minute before turning scorer himself two minutes later, assisted by Perea, to put the Swiss side 2-1 up at the break. Fürth regained control in the second half, Dennis Srbeny equalising from Gian-Luca Itter's pass in the 53rd minute before Klaus struck again in the 71st minute to complete his brace and seal the win.

Possession was dead even at 50% apiece, but the corner count — 4-2 in Zürich's favour — hints at the home side's territorial edge without reward; Fürth were more clinical, converting three of their chances. Leandro Schödler earned a 9.59 rating, the highest of any player, for his goal and assist from defence, though his team still lost. Without a prediction or next fixture to consider, the takeaway is simple: Fürth were sharper where it mattered.
