Nuremburg have scraped an edgy contest 1-0 courtesy of a second-half Timo Gebhart goal.

In a tense first half Hanno Balitsch came close for the home side, but missed the target with a header.

There were numerous corners for each side, but both defences were remaining solid and few chances were created.

As the half drew to a close, Balitsch had another effort blocked.

It took 76 minutes, but the deadlock was finally broken when Timo Gebhart fired home.

Nuremburg were able to hold on to the points, despite a late Wolfsburg rally.
