However, the Stuttgart success was overshadowed by the growing staff worries. The recently substituted Mohamed Sankoh was injured after a collision with the Fürth keeper Sascha Burchert carried off the field. “We were in shock, the injury is as bad as it looked,” said Mislintat. Even before the game, Matarazzo had to do without the coronavirus striker Sasa Kalajdzic.

Shortly afterwards, Joker Klement increased with a powerful shot into the far corner after a fantastic outside instep pass from the strong Klimowicz.
After the break, the Matarazzo-Elf controlled the action and quickly made the decision. Especially in the header game, the hosts had great advantages over the shamrock.
