Full-time: Düsseldorf 2-1 Paderborn

The hosts celebrate a deserved victory, coming from behind against 10-man Paderborn, who missed an opportunity to go top. Goals from Appelkamp and Itten cancelled out Okpala's strike in the second minute to move Düsseldorf out of the promotion/relegation play-off, and secure a third straight victory at home for the hosts.

Harmless

Can Paderborn find an answer?

Playing with a man down, Paderborn have not been able to create any more goal-scoring opportunities. Düsseldorf are controlling the match and are deservedly leading after a strong second half.

Düsseldorf lead!

Fortuna completely turn the game on its head. Tanaka plays a strong one-two with Appelkamp and then lays the ball across from the left edge of the penalty area to the waiting Itten. The striker finishes just in front of the penalty spot, firing a low effort into the bottom corner, giving Seimen no chance.

That was close!

Lunddal has a great chance to turn the match around. After a cross from the left flank, the ball falls to the feet of the full-back at the edge of the penalty area, but his volley is too central, allowing Seimen to save.

Lunddal!

What a strike from the substitute! Paderborn fail to clear, allowing the defender to strike the ball on the volley, forcing an excellent save.
78'

Fortuna looking for the space

Paderborn are being pushed far back and defending deep. Düsseldorf combine a lot of possession in front of the visitors' penalty area, but they're unable to break through Paderborn's resilient defence.
74'

Second yellow! Hansen sent off

Hansen receives a second yellow card and is sent off. It's a mirror image of his first booking: Lundaal tries to play a high ball through to Itten, Hansen stops the attacker on the right side with a foul. The second tactical offence is one too many - his dismissal is the consequence.
71'

Corner statistics clearly in favour of Fortuna

The corner kicks tell a clear story. Düsseldorf are clearly ahead with six corners, while Paderborn has only managed one so far. However, that one led to Okpala's goal in the second minute.

Fortuna keeps up the pressure

Düsseldorf remain on the front foot and continue to press high up the pitch. Tanaka in particular is currently winning many important tackles around the halfway line and is maintaining the pressure.

Defensive substitution for Paderborn

Paderborn react by bringing on a defender. Michel leaves the pitch after a solid performance

Equaliser!

The first real big chance finds the net. Muslija lays the ball off to Appelkamp, who runs towards the penalty area unmarked and simply lets fly from about 20 metres out. The shot takes a slight deflection, allowing the Paderborn keeper no chance – the ball nestles in the bottom right corner.

Double substitution for Fortuna

Düsseldorf makes a double change. Two full-backs come into the match and replace the more offensive full-back Zimmermann, as well as Suso who was operating in the centre.
59'

No relief

Paderborn are currently struggling with their build-up play. Attacks are absent, and the visitors rarely manage to get past the halfway line through combination play in a controlled manner.
56'

Another booking

This time it's for El Azzouzi, who goes in too hard on a Paderborn defender.
54'

Fortuna lack precision

Düsseldorf remain forceful, but there's a lack of quality in the decisive actions. Muslija gets completely free on the left side of the penalty area to cross, but doesn't find a teammate in the box, allowing Paderborn to clear again.
51'

Good start

Düsseldorf come out of the break with momentum. El Azzouzi threads a high ball into the penalty area to Muslija, who is disrupted by Michel just before he can finish, allowing Paderborn to clear.
49'

Brief moment of concern

Kastenmeier slips with his standing leg during an attempted clearance and briefly holds his foot afterwards. However, it doesn't seem to be anything serious, as the goalkeeper signals the all-clear to the Fortuna bench with a thumbs up.

Half-time: Düsseldorf 0-1 Paderborn

Okpala fired Paderborn into an early lead, and while Düsseldorf have had more possession, they've been unable to find a way through Paderborn's defence.

Tactical foul stops counter-attack

Hansen prevents a quick Düsseldorf counter-attack on the halfway line, fouling Appelkamp and receiving a yellow card.

Battling in the centre

Shinta Appelkamp goes into one of the many intense duels with Curda in midfield and tries to secure the ball under pressure from the opponent.
45'
+ 2

Pressure phase without reward

Fortuna continue to apply pressure going forward. They combine nicely around the penalty area, passing the ball back and forth, but as so often, the final pass is missing. Appelkamp makes a good run into the penalty area but is stopped by Scheller – the equalising goal eludes the hosts.
43'

First chance for Fortuna

After a corner kick from Muslija, the ball falls to El Azzouzi's feet in the penalty area, but the Moroccan can't get his shot on target. Afterwards, the Düsseldorf players demand a penalty for a possible shirt pull, but after a brief check, the situation is immediately waved away.
38'

Paderborn remain dangerous

The visitors come forward again. Michel beats two Düsseldorf defenders on the left side and lays it off to Castaneda at the edge of the penalty area. His shot is blocked, however, with Kastenmeier alert to the situation and even preventing a corner.
35'

Cross finds no taker

Oberdorf has a good opportunity to cross from the right, just in front of the Paderborn penalty area. However, the delivery is once again too short, and Paderborn can clear without any problems.
32'

Fortuna lacks penetration

Düsseldorf are trying to maintain possession, but currently they're hardly creating any situations in the opposition penalty area. Despite having control of the ball, they haven't been able to generate any clear scoring opportunities.

Klaas misses from close range

Paderborn get a good throw-in opportunity on the right. After a rebound, the ball falls to Klaas's feet, who shoots on the turn from about six metres, but blasts the ball well over the bar.

Balanced game in Düsseldorf

At the moment, you can't tell who is the league leader and who is fighting against relegation. After the early conceded goal, both teams are neutralising each other, but the quality of the match remains high.
22'

Good chance...

Paderborn get a promising free-kick on the right side of Düsseldorf's penalty area. Obermair takes the set-piece, but his attempt hits the wall. Nevertheless, that was a good opportunity for Paderborn.

Fortuna dominate the passing game

Düsseldorf is clearly focusing on possession so far. The hosts have already played over 100 passes and are delivering significantly more successful passes to their teammates.

Markus Anfang on facing Paderborn

"They're flexible in terms of personnel and tactics. We're focusing on what we can do with the ball. Without it, we need to make sure we defend well. They're not near the top of the table by accident."

Ralf Kettemann on facing Düsseldorf

"When you watch Düsseldorf, you can understand why they have declared promotion as their goal. They have a lot of good footballers in their side, so we need to be very focused."

Pushing for promotion

Paderborn bounced back from their 2-0 defeat at Holstein Kiel on 18 January with victory over Preußen Münster last weekend. Ralf Kettemann's team have lost only one of their last four in Bundesliga 2, having suffered three straight defeats between mid-November and early December.

Can Fortuna climb out of trouble?

Sixteenth-placed Düsseldorf are hoping to climb back out of the relegation play-off position after suffering their first Bundesliga 2 defeat in three matches at Hannover last time out. They had beaten Greuther Fürth (2-1) and Arminia Bielefeld (1-0) in their previous two games.
