Quote:
Nürnberg 2-0 Duisburg
Nürnberg have given themselves a massive boost in the bid to stay up with an important home win over fellow strugglers Duisburg.
After a cautious opening the home side calmed their nerves with a goal from Charisteas on 10 minutes. With the Duisburg defence asleep, Misimovic fed the Greek striker with a quick throw-in. He sped past Willi before firing in a shot which took a deflection off of Avalos to give Tom Starke no chance.
The crowd inside the easycredit Stadion were given a further boost on 32 minutes with Pinola grabbing the second for the home side. Given far too much space and time, Engelhardt found Jan Koller on the edge of the box. The giant Czech played onto the Argentine, who fired in a powerful shot into the top left hand corner.
The win doesn’t see Nürnberg out of the bottom three, but it does give them hope of avoiding the dreaded drop.
