Five Düsseldorf victories in a row
Fortuna trembles about the series continuation
At the end of the 14th matchday in the 2nd Bundesliga, Fortuna Düsseldorf narrowly beat SC Paderborn and has now won five games in a row. Fortuna established itself in the top group – but swims again tremendously in the end.
Fortuna Düsseldorf remains the team of the hour in the 2nd Bundesliga. In the duel of the first division relegated team, Uwe Rösler's team prevailed against SC Paderborn on matchday 14 with 2: 1 (1: 0) and keeps an eye on the promotion places.
Kristoffer Peterson (22nd) and Kenan Karaman (55th) shot the fortunes to their fifth league success in a row. Greuther Fürth in third place is only one point away for the strongest home team in the lower house. Paderborn, which was shortened by Chris Führich (80th), must gradually orient itself downwards after the sixth defeat of the season.
"It got a bit tight in the end," said Düsseldorf striker Rouwen Hennings at Sky: "We didn't play one or the other possibility well enough to put the lid on. Nevertheless, we deserved to win. We'll see where we're going at the end of May . "
Düsseldorf clearly set the tone in the first 45 minutes. After a hair-raising mistake by Paderborn's defense veteran Uwe Hünemeier, Hennings did not accept the invitation to take the lead early in the 13th minute, the attacker failed from a few meters on the strong SCP goalkeeper Leopold Zingerle (13th).
The Düsseldorf leadership also went back to a mistake by Paderborn far in their own half. After a precise cross from Karaman, the Swede Peterson was in the middle. Paderborn only woke up after the 0: 2. Prince Owusu (63rd) failed miserably, after the connecting gate through Führich, Fortuna started trembling, but she held out.
