Match recap
SpVgg Greuther Fürth secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Rot-Weiß Essen in their 2. Bundesliga clash. The home side established control early, dictating the tempo and restricting Essen's attacking opportunities. Their persistence paid off midway through the first half, breaking the deadlock with a well-taken goal.
