Futkeu, Hrgota and Prüfrock Secure Fürth's 2. Bundesliga Survival

Greuther Fürth secured 2. Bundesliga survival on Tuesday. The club won the second leg of the relegation playoff against third‑division Rot‑Weiss Essen.

Futkeu, Hrgota and Prüfrock each contributed to the victory. Their involvement ensured Fürth overturned the advantage Rot‑Weiss Essen held after the first leg.

Rot‑Weiss Essen had taken a first‑leg lead before the Tuesday match. The aggregate result left Essen eliminated from promotion contention.

Fürth will compete in the 2. Bundesliga in the 2026‑27 season. Rot‑Weiss Essen remains in the 3. Liga for the upcoming campaign.

The playoff outcome finalises promotion and relegation for the 2025‑26 season. Both clubs now return to their regular league schedules.
