Kasim Nuhu on target in Fortuna Dusseldorf's German Cup win over Erzgebirge Aue

Kasim Nuhu turned hero for Fortuna Dusseldorf as he scored the winning goal in a 2-1 triumph over Erzgebirge Aue in the German Cup second round on Wednesday.

It was the Bundesliga II side that took a surprise lead in the 12th minute through Florian Kruger. Rouwen Hennings, however, equalised for the hosts from the penalty spot towards the break.

With extra-time looming, Nuhu popped up for the winning goal in the 75th minute, latching on to a loose ball from a corner, with his shot deflecting off an Aue player on the way in.
