Fortuna struggles with the guests for a long time. Then it becomes clear in the final phase – but Düsseldorf is no luck.
Fortuna Düsseldorf has missed the second win of the season in the 2nd Bundesliga and is in the midfield of the league. The Rhinelanders did not get over a 0-0 on Saturday evening against a strong Karlsruher SC and have now moved to tenth place. The KSC, on the other hand, remains unbeaten in the fourth game of the season and remains in third place.
In a long time, the hosts had the first great opportunities in a long time, in which both teams showed little risk. After almost half an hour, Valgeir Lunddal’s header (28th) landed just next to it, two minutes also shot Shinta Appelkamp.
The guests had their best offensive phase in half one shortly before the break, but were not consistent enough in the opposing penalty area. Only after the change of sides did both teams act more aggressively and an exchange of blows developed at eye level.
The biggest chances were again the Düsseldorf: Appelkamp failed with a header (69th) and anoar el Azzouzi (70th) from a distance. Hans Christian Bernat parried twice.
The game between Düsseldorf and the KSC took place as part of the “Fortuna for everyone” campaign, in which the 51,500 spectators in the sold -out stadium had free admission thanks to sponsors.
