  "account": "In a dramatic Franconian derby, 2. Bundesliga side Nürnberg emerged victorious over home team Greuther Fürth, thanks to a free-scoring display in the second half. Miroslav Klose's Nürnberg had to come from behind twice in the first half, but two goals in the second half secured their win in the 277th encounter between the two sides. Felix Klaus, now a regular at his boyhood club since returning last summer, opened the scoring from the penalty spot early in the first half. Scoring his first official goal of the season, 21-year-old Scobel continued his fine pre-season form. Despite two disallowed goals for both teams, Fürth's new captain Klaus equalized with a composed finish just three minutes after VAR ruled out a potential brace for him. However, Nürnberg's Scobel and Justvan rekindled their effective partnership, with Justvan sealing the win with a powerful finish from outside the box after the break. Nürnberg's coach will regret Klaus's missable penalty, but the German international continued his impressive start to the season with three goals in the first two matches. The win extends Nürnberg's unbeaten run in the Franconian derby to five games, putting them at the top of the 2. Bundesliga table after two wins. For Fürth, a trip to newly-promoted Energie Cottbus awaits, while Nürnberg will face challenges against Arminia Bielefeld and Holstein Kiel in the next two league matches before their DFB-Pokal opener against Bochum.",
