Hrgota has a shot, the situation is unclear in the penalty area after several rebounds, however an offside was then called. It looks more likely that this game will turn 4-1 than 3-2.

Half-time: Fürth 1-1 Münster
The match is fairly level at 1-1 at half-time. Fürth were the better team from the start, but the visitors from Münster played bravely and grew into the game. They were able to cancel out Green's penalty with a great combination from star duo Grodowski and Batmaz.

Great chance!
Mees is played behind the defence, runs towards goal and shoots with the inside of his foot past the left post. That could have been better, Münster are repeatedly finding gaps in the defence.
