Full-time: Fortuna 1-2 Fürth

Düsseldorf's promotion hopes are handed a blow by defeat to mid-table Fürth. They just didn't create enough in the final third, while Greuther made the most of the chances they had. Fortuna could now end the weekend as many as four points outside the top three.

Last-ditch defending!

Pejčinović chests a high ball down to Vermeij, who doesn't hesitate and shoots immediately, but Loosli comes rushing in from behind and blocks the shot with a strong tackle.

Quarshie to the rescue

Niemiec slips the ball through for Vermeij, but Quarshie slides in to clear the ball at the last second.

Wasted opportunity

Gavory crosses from the left and finds Heyer. He tries to chip the keeper, but gets his angles all wrong.

Home woes

Retake!

Drama in Düsseldorf. Kastenmeier was off his line, so Green will get another bit of the cherry...

Kastenmeier saves!

Green goes for the right-hand corner, but it's too close to the goalkeeper, who makes an easy save.

Penalty!

Klaus and Kastenmeier sprint towards a loose ball in the box. The Fürth player reaches it slightly earlier and is brought down for a penalty!

Well over

Klaus drives forward and plays a pass to Green, who shoots from a central position about 20 yards from goal. However, he's leaning back and can only find row M.
63'

Caught in two minds

Van Brederode has a go from an acute angle, but Quarshie gets in the way in front of Grill. A pass would probably have been the better option.

Fresh impetus

If anything is happening at the moment, it's via set-pieces. Thioune wants to change that, so sends on Schmidt for Kwarteng.

Set-piece threat

Jóhannesson delivers a very high cross into the penalty area. Oberdorf manages to get his head to it, but doesn't put enough power behind the ball.

Harmless

Hrgota wins a corner for Fürth. Green delivers the ensuing cross to the near post, but Heyer gets it clear.

Similar picture

The match continues where it left off in the first half. Düsseldorf are enjoying more possession, albeit without threatening in the final third. Fürth are happy to play on the counter...

Tame

Green delivers a free-kick from the right side into the penalty area. It's cleared as far as Hrgota, who doesn't trouble the goalkeeper with his effort.

Disallowed goal!

Almost!

Van Brederode dribbles into the penalty area on the left-hand side. He goes all the way to the byline and tries to play a square ball to Pejčinović. The striker is waiting for the tap-in, but Loosli clears the danger.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

No way through

Since the equaliser, both teams have continued to struggle offensively. Düsseldorf have had significantly more possession, but they haven't been able to create any dangerous situations.

Record-equalling goal

That's 54 Bundesliga 2 goals in Fürth colours for Hrgota. He's now level with Klaus Heinlein as the club's joint-record scorer in the division.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).
The fact that it's already 1-1 here wasn't necessarily expected. Both teams scored their goals virtually out of nowhere.

What a response! Green's corner is flicked on by Klaus, with Hrgota reacting fastest to turn it home for 1-1.

With their first proper attack, the home side take the lead. Van Brederode dribbles past Asta on the left wing. In the centre, Jóhannesson makes a run into space and collects the pass, before finding the corner with a superb hit from the edge of the area.

Pushed back

Fürth are trying to string some passing sequences together, but Fortuna's intense press is making life very difficult for them.

Kick-off!

Düsseldorf, wearing all red today, kick off. The visitors are in their black away kits.

Former flames

Klaus and Quarshie, who were still on Düsseldorf's books in the first half of the season, both start for Fürth on their former stomping ground.

Two changes for Fürth

First-choice goalkeeper Noll is out, with recent winter signing Grill, who was previously brought on as a substitute, making his starting debut. The Franconians also have to do without Meyerhöfer, with Asta coming in for his first start since Matchday 18 in Münster, when he was sent off after just 32 minutes.

Kwarteng replaces Kownacki

One change for Düsseldorf following the 1-1 draw in Cologne, with Kwarteng coming into the team for the suspended Kownacki, likely resulting in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Fürth starting line-up

Grill - Loosli, Quarshie, Itter - Asta, Dietz, Green, John - Klaus, Hrgota - Futkeu

Fortuna starting line-up

Kastenmeier - Fridriksson, Oberdorf, Siebert, Heyer - Haag, Jóhannesson - Appelkamp, Kwarteng, van Brederode - Pejčinović

The stakes

Fürth are out to increase their eight-point cushion above the relegation zone with a successful result, while a win for Düsseldorf would keep them in the thick of the promotion-chasing pack.

Daniel Thioune's view on Fürth

"Jan Siewert took over the team during a very challenging phase, and the results under him are very balanced. In the winter, he was able to implement his ideas more intensively. You can see that now, as Fürth's play is becoming more structured. The Clover Leaves are on the rise again. They have developed, and it's no coincidence that they have achieved good results so far this year. I'm therefore looking forward to facing a good Fürth team. But I'm even more excited for my lads to deliver a better performance with the ball tomorrow."

Jan Siewert's view on Düsseldorf

"Düsseldorf are a team that has shown they can decide matches late on. This means that focus is required for 90 minutes, and then we will see what happens."

Reunion

Felix Klaus and Joshua Quarshie played for Düsseldorf until the end of 2024. Quarshie made 13 appearances for Fortuna, while Klaus played 115 second-tier matches for the club.

Impressive home record

In 14 home matches against Fürth, Düsseldorf have never lost. Remarkably, in six of the last eight away fixtures in Düsseldorf, Fürth took the lead, yet they never managed to secure all three points.

Johannesson from the spot

Düsseldorf have won their last two matches against Fürth. Their victory in this season's reverse fixture was dramatic, as they won 2-1 thanks to a penalty converted by Isak Bergmann Johannesson in stoppage time. On Sunday, the Düsseldorf player also scored from the spot to clinch a 1-1 draw against Cologne.
