Klement sunk penalty
After the third win in a row in the 2nd Bundesliga, 1. FC Kaiserslautern is increasingly aspiring to promotion. On Friday, coach Dirk Schuster’s team won 2-1 (0-1) at Fortuna Düsseldorf after a converted penalty kick by Philipp Klement in added time (90 minutes + 6 minutes) and climbed to fourth place in the table. Dusseldorf conceded the second defeat in a row and failed to get close to the promotion zone.
In front of 44,422 spectators in the Düsseldorf stadium, Michal Karbownik (14th minute) was initially successful for the home side. Kevin Kraus (50th), who came on after the break, equalized for Kaiserslautern.
Three days after the 2-0 defeat at Hannover 96, Fortuna started energetically, controlled the first period and created a few scoring chances. FCK keeper Andreas Luthe was able to parry a header from Christoph Klarer (7th), but shortly afterwards Karbownik successfully completed a dribbling shot from 16 meters to make it 1-0.

After the break, Kaiserslautern took the initiative and became dangerous. Substitute Kraus headed in a crossbar shot by Mike Wunderlich (46′) to make it 1-1. Both teams played evenly in the final stages. First, Düsseldorfer Felix Klaus (88th), whose direct acceptance was defused by Luthe. With the last scene of the game, Kaiserslautern had the more successful ending for themselves.
Holstein Kiel and Hannover 96 are still at a distance from the top of the 2nd division
Holstein Kiel and Hannover 96 have failed to move closer to the promotion places. Both separated in the Holstein Stadium with 1:1 (1:1). The Hanoverians drop back to fifth place, the Kielers are still eighth before the other games of the weekend. Fin Bartels gave the hosts the lead after a counterattack (9th minute), Cedric Teuchert (16th) equalized with his seventh goal of the season in front of 13,744 spectators.
Kiel, who have lost just once in their last eight games, stopped the Hanoverians’ march to the top. 96 coach Stefan Leitl had promised before the game: “We want to get another one going.” His team made an effort, but couldn’t break the strong defense of the hosts.
In a good game, both invested a lot of passion and speed. In the meantime, Hannover gained advantages with high pressing. Both equalized in midfield, so that there were only seldom gripping goal-area scenes. A huge chance was missed by Kwasi Wriedt from Kiel, who missed a cross from the industrious Fabian Reese by just an inch (21′).
