Fortuna maintain control
Düsseldorf are alert and defending consistently. Paderborn try to play it forward again, but Tanaka intercepts the ball in midfield and calms the game down in Fortuna's favour.

Harmless
Paderborn are awarded another free-kick. The cross from the left side sails well over the goal, resulting in a goal kick for Fortuna.
89'
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.

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.

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
70'
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.

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.

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.
46'
Back under way
The ball is rolling again in Düsseldorf. Fortuna kicks off, and are now playing towards their own supporters

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.

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.
26'
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.

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."
