Greuther Fürth U19 3–1 TSV Schott Mainz U19: Clinical Fürth Extend Unbeaten Run

Match Date: May 23, 2026 | Venue: Sportpark Ronhof, Fürth

Greuther Fürth U19 continued their impressive form in the German Junior Bundesliga with a comfortable 3–1 victory over TSV Schott Mainz U19 on Saturday evening. The win solidifies Fürth’s position in the upper echelons of the table.

First Half: Fürth Dominant but Only One Goal Ahead

Greuther Fürth controlled possession from the off, with midfielders Lennart Schäfer and Tim Gutmann dictating the tempo. The breakthrough came in the 33rd minute when striker Marco Hofmann poked home from a corner after a scramble in the box. Despite several more chances, Fürth went into the break only 1–0 up.

Second Half: Quickfire Double Seals the Win

Five minutes after the restart, Hofmann grabbed his second – a well-placed header from a cross by full-back Erik Brenner. Eight minutes later, winger Jonas Findeisen made it 3–0, cutting inside and curling a shot into the far corner. TSV Schott Mainz pulled one back through a penalty converted by Lennart Gross in the 72nd minute, but Fürth never looked like surrendering the lead.

Defensive Resilience

Despite conceding the late penalty, Fürth’s defence, led by centre-back Nico Breit, was largely solid. Goalkeeper Kevin Lutz made a few routine saves but was rarely tested by a Mainz attack that lacked cutting edge.

Player of the Match: Marco Hofmann

The Fürth number nine was a constant menace, scoring twice and holding up play effectively. His movement off the ball created space for teammates and his finishing was clinical.

Table Context

The win keeps Greuther Fürth U19 in third place in their GER JBH group, just one point behind the top two. For TSV Schott Mainz U19, the defeat leaves them in mid-table, needing to improve their away form.
