SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1 - 2 Bochum
Lost to the better team, by way of a too-obvious penalty midway into the second half. Honestly, I am not sure we belong up there. Last time (I think in 2012 or so) we went up for a year, fielded a substandard team whose salaries didn'T break the bank, extended the arena and enjoyed 17 home matches in front of packed stands, only to be relegated after a season, fnishing last. Afterwards, we avoided going broke, crashing through to the fourth league or becoming a gold mine for overaged, overpaid former internationals making large promises of bringing us back up in a snap. In stead, we resumed our life in mid-table mediocritiy, going to and fro between 15th and 5th. All the while, we were chortling with glee every day watching the continuing trainwreck that is the 1st FC Nuremberg, swishing by us between catastrophy and hollow triumph, and always just that side of bancruptcy. Maybe it's better our way.
Hertha already one down at half-time.
Played 135, won 67, drawn 27, lost 41.
