• Alexander Rossipal’s corner was met by Thomas Keller, who rose highest to head home and mark his debut with a goal, sending Dresden into the interval with a deserved 1-0 lead. Five minutes after the restart, Dresden doubled their advantage in emphatic fashion.
• Jakob Lemmer collected the ball outside the penalty area and unleashed a powerful low strike past Timo Schlieck to make it 2-0.
• Fürth looked shellshocked and struggled to muster any meaningful response to either goal. The visitors came closest late on when Omar Sillah struck the post, but it proved to be little more than a consolation moment.
• Fürth failed to build any sustained pressure, ultimately handing Thomas Stamm’s side what was arguably their most straightforward victory of the campaign. A huge win for Dresden, their first since the end of November, sees them leapfrog Fürth into 17th place.
