2. Bundesliga: Fortuna also defeats Hansa – FC Ingolstadt before relegation

Schanzer only 1:1 against Jahn

Fortuna Düsseldorf broke Hansa Rostock’s winning streak and took a huge step towards remaining in the 2nd Bundesliga. On Friday, Daniel Thioune’s team defeated the North Germans, who had previously won four times in a row, 3-0 (1-0). Ao Tanaka (13th minute), Shinta Appelkamp (64th) and Khaled Narey (90th + 3) scored the Fortuna goals in front of 22,346 fans. With that, the Düsseldorfers extended their own series to eight unbeaten games.

This means that Fortuna under Thioune is still undefeated. In the table, the Rhinelanders are now eight points ahead of SG Dynamo Dresden in the relegation rank after 29 match days, who only play at SV Sandhausen on Sunday. Newly promoted Rostock is one point better with 37 points.

On Friday, however, Hansa, who had been so strong recently, only woke up after the first – technically excellent – goal conceded by Japanese international Tanaka. But Fortuna held up well and this time not only brought the lead over time, but also continued to play courageously forward. The second goal by the German-Japanese Appelkamp and the final decision in injury time by Narey were the deserved reward. Due to the death of club legend Gerd Zimmermann, the Düsseldorf team played with black ribbons last week.

1-1 at Jahn Regensburg: FC Ingolstadt before relegation from the 2nd Bundesliga

SSV Jahn Regensburg has probably taken away the last minimal hope in the relegation battle from FC Ingolstadt in the 2nd Bundesliga. Attacker Andreas Albers scored a point for Jahn on Friday evening in front of 12,089 fans in the Jahnstadion when it was 1-1 (0-1) with his goal in the 56th minute. However, the people from Upper Palatinate missed the 40-point mark they had hoped for with a home win.

The Schanzer, on the other hand, missed their second win in a row in a hard-fought Bavarian duel after Christian Gebauer scored the opening goal (36th). Nine points behind 16th place should not be catching up for the Ingolstadt team in the last five games. Fight, fouls and interruptions shaped the dogged game. Jahn goalkeeper Alexander Meyer did not cut a good figure at Gebauer’s goal. Leon Guwara’s deflected cross descended over him into the goal. FCI keeper Robert Jendrusch saved the visitors from the 1-1 when Bendikt Saller (40′) and Charalambos (43′) shot.

Florian Pick almost made it 2-0 for Ingolstadt after the break, but was denied by Meyer (48′). When it was 1-1, there was chaos in the Ingolstadt penalty area after a corner. Albers poked the ball over the line. In the final phase, Jahn was closer to victory, captain Benedikt Gimber headed on the crossbar in injury time.
