Fürth remains at the bottom of the league after 31 games, 12 points from safety, with three games left.

Coach Stefan Leitl’s team bounced back last year, when they finished second in the second division, but never recovered from a poor start in the Bundesliga, despite encouraging performances in the second half of the season. Fürth lost all but one of their first 14 matches before getting their first win on the 15th day of the match by beating Union Berlin.

Also on Saturday, Union came from behind thanks to substitute Sven Michel to beat Leipzig 2-1 away and make up for Wednesday’s German Cup semi-final loss in Leipzig.

Michel tied at 86th and then assisted Kevin Behrens with his heel to score the win in 89th. The Union won in Leipzig for the first time.

Leipzig’s 15-game run unbeaten in all competitions allowed Leverkusen to reclaim third place. Leverkusen dropped to fourth place last weekend after losing at home to Leipzig, but the teams switched places again, leaving Leipzig in last place in the Champions League qualifiers.
