Conclusion
What an evening at the Alm! Bielefeld with an impressive return to Bundesliga 2 with five goals! After Düsseldorf took the lead, the hosts ruthlessly capitalised on Oberdorf's yellow-red card and went into half-time with the score at 1-1. After the restart, Kniat's substitutes and Arminia's strength from set-pieces secured the deserved home victory. It's Arminia's highest opening match victory in 47 years of professional football!

Oh my goodness!
The ball falls to Sam Schreck's feet in the penalty area, and the substitute makes no mistake to make it five. This is a rout!

Offside goal
Lenz is found in the attacking position by his own keeper and slots it into the bottom left corner after a nice feint. However, the flag goes up quickly.

Just like against Leverkusen
The last time Arminia turned a match around was on 1 April against Leverkusen, winning 2-1 after being 1-0 down in the cup semi-final.

Kersken strong
After a throw-in from the halfway line, Rossmann suddenly finds himself free in front of the keeper, but in the one-on-one, the goalkeeper comes out on top.
87'
Youngster Richter
Richter made his professional debut in March in the 3rd division as a 16-year-old. He is now 17 and after Roberto Massimo, the second-youngest Armine in second division history.

That's never happened to Düsseldorf before
Fortuna is entering their 20th second division season - they've never conceded four goals in an opening match before. More than two goals were only conceded in 1997, when they lost 3-2 at Eintracht Frankfurt on matchday 1.
83'
Double substitution on both sides
For the last ten minutes, both teams bring on two fresh players each.
81'
Level with Darmstadt
As things stand, promoted side Bielefeld would be joint table leaders with Darmstadt - the Lilies also won 4-1 against Bochum.
81'
An Arminia Bielefeld speciality
Last season, Bielefeld scored nine goals from corners. That was the best in the 3rd division.
79'
Next corner - next goal!
This time Handwerker delivers the ball from the right, and after a header from Großer, a flick-on from Felix and a botched clearance by Schmidt, Grodowski is in the right place.
78'
Repeat offender
A goal on his second division debut for Joel Felix - the last time he scored was in September 2024 in the 3rd division, also with a header from a corner against Verl.
76'
The next substitute strikes!
What a decision from Kniat! A corner from the left is swept perfectly into the box, where Felix rises high and puts the ball into the net via the inside of the left post.
74'
Grodowski battling
Grodowski has contested 20 duels – more than any other player. He also leads the way for shots on goal with three.
71'
Comeback for Rossmann
First appearance since January - last season he scored on matchday 1 in the away win at Darmstadt.

Over!
Corboz tries with the inside of his foot from distance, but leans back too much.

Off target
Perhaps a shot from distance? Not like that - Alexandropoulos blasts it well over the bar from outside the box.

Trying hard
The visitors are now putting on the pressure, but can't break through against the well-positioned home side.

No way through
Kania wants to dribble into the penalty area against several Düsseldorf players, but doesn't get through. A subsequent shot from outside the box whistles narrowly past the right post!

Cleared off the line!

Siebert at the double
First, Siebert takes the spotlight during a corner, as he narrowly misses with a header. Shortly afterwards, he is booked for his complaints after being fouled.
57'
Kania's first second division goal
In his fifth second division match (four for Nürnberg), Kania has his first goal in Bundesliga 2. Last season, he scored 14 times in the third division, despite only 14 starts (+ 20 appearances as a substitute).
56'
Very cool
The substitute delivers, he's reliable from the spot - last season he converted all three penalties in the 3rd division, plus one in the DFB Cup.
55'
Converted!
The sub scores! Kania stays cool and smashes the ball into the top right corner.

0:29
Penalty!
52'
Good sprint!
Grodowski makes good ground down the left and wants to cut the ball inside. Siebert is alert once again!
49'
Different Game
Bielefeld must find solutions against the depleted and now deep-sitting Düsseldorf side.
47'
Handwerker pushes forward
New signing Tim Handwerker was very noticeable in the first half, having the most touches of the ball of all players (48) and repeatedly getting involved up front. Captain Mael Corboz had the fewest touches for Bielefeld, but set up the equaliser.
46'
Let's continue!
The second half starts with three substitutions: Haag and Schmidt come on for Düsseldorf, Kania for Arminia.

Sarenren Bazee scores
Noah Sarenren Bazee scores Bielefeld's first goal of the season - he had also scored Arminia's last goal in 2024/25, in the 2-0 victory in the Westfalen Cup final against Lotte. Bielefeld's last league goal was also his, the strike that secured the third division championship in the 1-0 win against Mannheim. It was also his second goal in the second division, with his first coming in December 2016! Back then for Hannover against Heidenheim.

Half-time in Bielefeld
The Saturday evening match, after a quiet opening phase, is increasingly picking up pace and goes into the break with a 1-1 scoreline and a sending off. Bielefeld started well, but Fortuna gradually got into the match and took a deserved lead. Düsseldorf had everything under control until Oberdorf was sent off and Sarenren Bazee immediately capitalised on the numerical advantage a minute later.

Madness! Equaliiiiser!
Arminia strike immediately after the sending off! Mael Corboz plays the ball from the left into the middle after a costly error from Zimmermann, where Sarenren Bazee puts the ball into the net through the legs of a Fortuna defender from just a few metres out.

Side netting!
Grodowski uses his physicality to get past Siebert on the right and drives towards goal, but instead of crossing it into the middle, he opts to go for power himself.
40'
Fifth Yellow
Oberdorf wants to get to the ball first and catches Grodowski on the bottom of his foot.
39'
Finisher
It was only Itten's fifth touch of the ball, scoring his first goal in the 2. Bundesliga with his first shot on target.
38'
Rasmussen performing
First, the shot off the woodwork and then the outstanding build-up play for the opening goal - Düsseldorf have landed themselves a real gem there.
35'
Goooooal - there it is!
Rasmussen sends Itten through on the right, the striker sets himself up brilliantly, sends an Arminia defender sliding into thin air and then beats Kersken with an ice-cold finish. Before that, the Fortuna forward had hardly been seen!

0:26
Crossbar!
33'
Already four yellow cards
Actually a fair game (only eight fouls so far), but already four yellow cards - almost as many cards as shots on goal (five).
32'
More cards
First Mehlem, then Rasmussen receive the next bookings. The latter for standing in front of the ball during a quick free-kick.

Another shot from a tight angle
Sarenren Bazee wants to shoot towards the near post from the right again, but this time his attempt is cleared for a corner.

Russo clears up
His tackle success rate so far: 100%! Kniat once described his defensive midfielder as a quarterback, as he knows every play of Arminia exactly.

Blocked
The hosts attack again, but Lannert can't deliver the ball into the box from the right.

Fortuna still too imprecise
Düsseldorf's pass completion is only at 70% - far too many passes aren't finding their target. Bielefeld's high pressing has been effective so far.

Great play by Mehlem
Arminia's number 10 manages to intercept the ball brilliantly in the air and sets up Grodowski, who then drives into the left side of the penalty area, but Siebert prevents anything worse from happening.
10'
Intercepted
Christian Rasmussen wants to deliver the ball into the box from the right half-space, but Russo is positioned well and clears it with his head.

First shot!
Corboz wins the ball strongly in midfield and then drives forward. Bazze eventually shoots from a tight angle on the right, but can't trouble Kastenmeier at the near post.

High tempo
Siebert almost invites Arminia forward with a mistake, but the hosts get stuck, and then Düsseldorf counter, but that fizzles out too.

First caution
Boakye picks up the first yellow card for a tactical shirt-pull in midfield.

The ball is finally rolling!
Second-division football is back at the atmospheric Bielefeld Alm after more than two years! Will the promoted team build on their strong previous season – or will Düsseldorf make an immediate statement?
キックオフ
Contract extension for the number 1!
Jonas Kersken commits long-term to Arminia – Bielefeld have extended the goalkeeper's existing contract for the long term.
Debutant's ball
Six Bielefeld players are making their Bundesliga 2 debut today: Kersken, Schneider, Lannert, Russo, Corboz and Boakye.
Milestone for referee Alt
Patrick Alt is the match official, it's the referee's 100th match in the 2. Bundesliga. He made his debut ten years ago in the Sandhausen-Heidenheim fixture. He has refereed Bielefeld seven times in the 2. Bundesliga (2-3-2), and Düsseldorf nine times (7-0-2).
Two years is a long time
The last Bielefeld match in Bundesliga 2 was a 4-0 defeat in May 2023. None of the 16 players who featured that day are still at the club.
Bielefeld start with three new players
Arminia have three new signings in the starting line-up: left-back Tim Handwerker (previously at Regensburg), Marvin Mehlem (previously at Paderborn) and attacking midfielder Benjamin Boayke (who scored five goals for Stuttgart's U23s in the third division last season).
Fortuna's newcomers
Four new signings have made it into the Düsseldorf starting XI: El Azzouzi, Alexandropoulos, Rasmussen, Itten. Four more are on the bench in Lotka, Lenz, Schmidt and Hettwer.
Mitch Kniat on facing Düsseldorf
"Düsseldorf are an extremely good team. They have always been right up there in recent years, and they have shown that they can compete in the promotion race. That says a lot about their quality and that of the manager."
Daniel Thioune on facing Bielefeld
"They are big opponents who brought a lot of joy last season. There is a lot of euphoria in Bielefeld, but we also have good spirits. We will travel there with respect, but also with confidence in ourselves."
Good memories
As a player, Daniel Thioune last faced Arminia in February 2004, when his Lübeck side surprisingly won 3-1 away at the Alm in Bundesliga 2 under Dieter Hecking. The current Fortuna boss came off the bench to score.
It's been a while...
Arminia's last win against Düsseldorf was on 4 April 2017 in Bundesliga 2, when Fabian Klos scored the winning goal late on from the penalty spot with his team a man down.
Düsseldorf's streak
Düsseldorf have claimed four wins and a draw from their last five competitive matches against Bielefeld, scoring 15 goals in the process. Fortuna have only lost one of their last 10 competitive fixtures against Arminia (W7, D2).
Fortuna ahead
In the previous 18 Bundesliga 2 encounters between Bielefeld and Fortuna, there have been 10 Düsseldorf victories to Arminia's three.
