Full-time: Düsseldorf 3-1 Elversberg

Düsseldorf collect three immensely important points in the relegation battle, deservedly beating Elversberg 3-1. Fortuna now have a one-point lead over the relegation play-off spot and can secure their top-flight survival next week in the direct clash with Fürth. The Saarlanders, on the other hand, remain in second place thanks to their still superior goal difference, but have Hannover and Paderborn breathing down their neck, both level on points. For them too, next week's match against Münster is a high-stakes finale in which they can seal direct promotion.

Next injury break

Two Fortuna players are down on the pitch and need treatment. Egouli and the hero of the game, Itten.

Free-kick for Fortuna

For the first time in a while, Fortuna manage to relieve some pressure. However, the set piece floats straight to the opposition, who immediately look to push forward again.

Could they really do it?

Seven minutes of injury time has been indicated. Can the visitors still make something happen?

Another own goal!

And the consolation goal comes for Elversberg after all. The cross from the corner flies to the near post, where the Obderdorf sticks out his right foot and inadvertently tucks it into the near corner.

Pherai onto the crossbar

Pherai unleashes a thunderbolt from outside the box, but aims a little too high, as Kastenmeier watches it sail over safely.
86'

What else is going to happen here?

Time is gradually running out for the visitors to stage a comeback. They have had control of the game for a good 20 minutes now, but the hosts have no need to push on any further either. Everything points to a comfortable 3-0 victory for them.
83'

Running down the clock

Now Daland comes on for Appelkamp as they look to close up shop for the final minutes.
81'

Elversberg want a penalty

There is a brief uproar in the away end as Conté goes down in the penalty area. But the situation quickly becomes clear: he had caught his foot in the turf. There was a slight contact beforehand, but it was nowhere near enough to warrant a penalty.
80'

Still all to play for!

As it stands, Elversberg need a home win against bottom side Münster on the final matchday to secure promotion, provided Hannover do not win against Nuremberg by a margin of at least six goals.

Mokwa fires at goal!

Adam crosses from the right to the far post. There, Mokwa holds his own well and pulls the trigger. Oberdorf gets a slight deflection on it and so the ball ends up in the arms of Kastenmeier. Elversberg are getting closer but is it too little too late?
76'

Another treatment interruption

Kastenmeier had problems with his hip after the challenge, but the ball is rolling again now.
75'

That's better!

Now Elversberg play it sharply and immediately force an error from the hosts, Zimmerschied's low cross is inadvertently deflected towards goal by Lunddal, but Kastenmeier is fully alert and prevents the second own goal of the match.
72'

Brief injury stoppage

Alexandropoulos picked up a knock and had to receive treatment for a brief moment. No cause for concern though, as the Fortuna man gets back up quickly enough.
71'

Simply not enough from the visitors

Pherai is still the most prominent player amongst the visitors. He now plays the ball forward with the outside of his boot to the substitute Conté, who cannot reach it though. Time is slowly running out for Elversberg.

Adam enters the action

Last week, the youngster scored to make it 5-1 against Paderborn, but can the 20-year-old make an impact off the bench once again today?
66'

Wagner not giving up just yet

Elversberg boss Wagner is trying to give his team a fighting chance here with a triple change. Petkov being substituted due to injury will be a huge concern for the promotion-chasers as they head into the final matchday.
64'

Getting better and better

The hosts are putting in an all-round strong performance here, recovering the ball an impressive seven seconds faster than they did in the first period.

Unnecessary from Itten

The brace scorer steps on Pektov's ankle and it looks to be a painful one. Itten subsequently picks up his fifth yellow of the season, which means he will miss out on the final matchday at Fürth!
camera-photo

What does the table say now?

Thanks to their commanding lead, Fortuna are now up to 14th in the standings, with Braunschweig level on points but behind them with a slightly inferior goal difference. For Elversberg, not too much changes just yet, though they ought not to concede any more, otherwise they risk throwing away their important goal difference. For now, they remain second, five goals clear.
60'

Perfect timing!

Fortuna have never won by more than two goals this season – achieving their biggest win of the season in this crucial match would be perfect timing heading into the final matchday!
58'

Where are the visitors?

Once again, Elversberg have won themselves a corner. Zimmerschied delivers it inward, but Iyoha clears it at the near post with a header. The visitors stay on the ball and Günther whips it in again, but Rohr then heads it over the crossbar.
56'

Double change for Fortuna

Lunddal and Suso enter the action as coach Ende looks to bring fresh legs to keep the momentum going.
camera-photo

Brace for Itten!

Incredible scenes at the Merkur-Spiel Arena. Breithaupt plays the ball from the centre circle out to the right flank. There, Itten is quicker than Le Joncour and lifts the ball into the net at a tight angle with his first touch against an onrushing Kristof who was always going to struggle to get there. Fortuna fans are in dreamland at the moment.

Itten!

The Swiss international is hungry for a brace. After winning the ball in midfield, Düsseldorf play it quick as usual, but Itten then slides the ball wide to the right inside the penalty area.
50'

Corner for Elversberg

Pherai wins a corner. Elversberg take it quickly – back to Pherai, who aims for the near post, but is only able to find the side netting.

Home is where the heart is

Itten has scored 10 of his 14 league goals at home – the Swiss striker found the net in each of the last five home matches.
46'

We're back underway!

Both managers have opted against making substitutions and the ball is rolling once again.

That being said:

Elversberg should not be written off just yet. In their last away match in Darmstadt (3-3), The visitors managed to get on the scoresheet after being 0-2 down – though the Wagner side levelled it before the break on that occasion.

Tall order for Elversberg

Elversberg have faced a 2-0 deficit only once before, this season, on matchday 10 away at Bielefeld – where they went on to lose by the same scoreline.

Half-time: Düsseldorf 2-0 Elversberg

Just before the referee's whistle, Petkov attempts to manufacture a shot for himself but after beating multiple Fortuna defenders, he can only fire wide of Kastenmeier's net. Düsseldorf, meanwhile, have put in a remarkable performance in the first 45 and go into the break with a deserved 2-0 lead. Elversberg have yet to find their footing in the match and will need to shake themselves up in the second half if they are to take anything from Düsseldorf, which would be so crucial in the race for promotion to the Bundesliga.

Itten strikes again

With 14 goals and three assists, the forward has been directly involved in 17 of Düsseldorf's 32 goals this season.

ITTEN MAKES IT 2-0!

The Fortuna front man initiates the move himself, not really being pressed on the left. The ball then reaches Appelkamp, who beautifully plays the ball with his left foot into the centre, where Itten is left unmarked and plants a header into the right side of the net to double the hosts' advantage.

Kastenmeier on high alert

Mokwa plays a strong pass through to Pherai. He rushes towards the ball, as does Kastenmeier. The two collide slightly and both need a moment to shake it off. Play has resumed, however.

Düsseldorf celebrate taking the lead

38'

Off target

Itten pulls off a few step-overs in a one-on-one against Le Joncour. His subsequent shot towards the far left corner goes wide, however.
36'

What on earth was that?

Ljubicic wins the ball back in midfield and picks up the pace. With Kristof standing well off his line, the Fortuna man has a go from distance, but the ball trickles wide to the left. There will surely need to be at least a word or two about finishing at half-time.
35'

Elversberg at it again

Pherai wants to play the ball infield with his right foot, but the attempt is blocked for a corner. Has the conceded goal been a wake-up call for the Saarlanders?
32'

Almost 1-1!

The subsequent free kick on the left touchline is played across. Gyamerah then crosses from the left into the penalty area, where Mokwa rises and tests Kastenmeier. Poręba attempts to get to the rebound, but the angle is far too tight.
30'

Moving up

As it stands on the live table, Fortuna are up to 15th in the standings, and with a win would have one point more than Bielefeld, who now sit in the relegation play-off spot.
30'

First booking

Zimmermann steps on Zimmerschied's foot. Clear-cut decision for the referee.
30'

Good omens

Of the 13 matches that they've led this season, Fortuna have gone on to win 10. Can they make it 11 here?

Unlucky fellow

That was Le Joncour's third own goal of the season, after finding the back of the wrong net against Bielefeld and Hannover on matchday 10 and 11 respecitvely.
camera-photo

The hosts have the lead!

Lenz plays the ball along the touchline to Ljubicic, who cuts inside with a clever move nutmegging Rohr and playing the ball into the centre which finds Le Joncour whose deflection cannot be prevented by a desperate Kristof.

Too much patience?

Elversberg have barely shown any attacking promise up to this point – apart from Petkov's shot. Now Mokwa plays a speculative ball from the right to the left flank, but Günther cannot reach it.

Fortuna fans and players united!

16'

Sight at goal!

Another good through ball out to the right wing, this time from Ljubicic and from there, the next cross comes in. It is initially cleared by an Elversberg player straight to Iyoha. He pulls the trigger, but misses the goal.
13'

Fizzles Out

Appelkamp switches brilliantly to the right flank where Zimmermann has plenty of space, but he gets caught up on the first duel with Günther and possession fizzles out.
camera-photo

Itten wanted

Lenz delivers a half-field cross into the box, where Itten rises high, but puts the ball well wide to the right. A thumbs up from the Fortuna front man, that's the kind of service he wants more of.
camera-photo

Dangerous!

Straight from the counter, Petkov has plenty of space on the right flank. Fortuna keeper Kastenmeier anticipating a cross, is standing quite far to the left in his goal. So Petkov tries his luck with a cheeky attempt at the near post, but Kastenmeier is there!
7'

First signs

Now the hosts are showing signs of life, advancing down the right flank. However, the cross into the middle finds no taker.
5'

Unfortunate slip

Kristof plays a long ball to the right flank. Zimmerschied is the intended recipient, however, he slips and the ball flies unchecked into touch.
4'

Visitors on the move

The opening minutes have seen Elversberg dominate with the ball, repeatedly trying to play forward with pace and intent. Fortuna are holding firm and have been doing well to keep spaces tight so far.
2'

Technical error

Zimmerschied takes his time at a throw-in, and struggles to find a passing option. He then throws the ball long to Mokwa, who cannot bring it under control to receive, which results in a turnover in favour of Fortuna.

A milestone for Kristof

The goalkeeper is set to play his 100th match in Bundesliga 2 – all of them for Elversberg, further solidifying his status as the club's all-time appearance maker in the second division.

Nearly there

Mathematically speaking, Elversberg cannot secure promotion today, but a win would put them in a very strong position to do so. They would then have a three-point advantage and a superior goal difference to Hannover (+9) and Paderborn (+13) respectively.

Home rut against Elversberg

Fortuna have never won at home against Elversberg. Last season they suffered a 0-2 defeat, in addition to a 1-1 draw in 2023/24 and a 1-3 loss in the Regionalliga in March 2000. A win today would be significant at both ends of the table.
camera-photo

Same formula for visitors

Elversberg also start with the same starting eleven as in their last match where they thrashed Paderborn 5-1.

Unchanged hosts

Düsseldorf line up with the same starting eleven as in the 0-1 defeat at Schalke. For the first time since January, the hosts have made no changes from the last match.

Alexander Ende on facing Elversberg

"Being reactive is not the right approach. We will try to bring our style onto the pitch – always with the knowledge of what weapons the opposition has. Elversberg have the strongest attack in the league and have created the most chances."

Vincent Wagner on facing Düsseldorf

"There would certainly have been better moments to play against Düsseldorf. I believe that, in Düsseldorf, everyone has understood what is at stake. They have united behind the squad."
