The win came in the final round of the season, delivering the decisive points needed to stay above the automatic drop zone. The result lifted Greuther Fürth out of danger and into the playoff bracket.
Before the match, Greuther Fürth were hovering just above the relegation line, while Fortuna Düsseldorf were fighting to climb out of the bottom three. The three-goal margin left little doubt about the Bavarian side’s intent.
