Two days before the general assembly of the Rhinelander, the Dusseldorf players offered a decent performance in their 400th Bundesliga home match, but once again handled their chances negligently this season. Fortuna coach Friedhelm Funkel shook his hair several times in view of the many good chances.

Subsequently, the hosts took over gradually the command and inevitably came to opportunities. Especially Dodi Lukebakio, who had scored all three Fortuna goals in Munich, escaped the FSV defense time after time.
