Miserable and goalless: Düsseldorf 0:0 against Münster - Fortuna Düsseldorf held to frustrating draw, relegation fears grow
Fortuna Düsseldorf missed the chance to extend their winning streak at home after a goalless draw against Preußen Münster. The result leaves them hovering just above the relegation zone in the 2. Bundesliga. Both sides created chances but failed to break the deadlock in a tightly contested match.
Düsseldorf entered the game as the league's form team, having collected 10 points from their last five matches. Their recent resurgence followed a disastrous start to the season, with only seven wins from 22 games. Despite victories over Bochum and Münster earlier in the campaign, losses to Nürnberg and Braunschweig had kept them in mid-table.
The home side pushed for a fourth straight win at their stadium but found Münster's defence stubborn. Clear-cut opportunities were squandered, with the visitors also wasting their own chances in front of goal. Münster, winless in eight matches and sitting third-from-bottom, looked the more likely to snatch a winner in the second half.
The draw keeps Düsseldorf on 25 points from 22 games, just two points clear of Münster despite a five-place gap in the standings. Their goal difference of -11 reflects a season of inconsistency, though recent form had offered hope of climbing further up the table.
The stalemate leaves Düsseldorf dangerously close to the drop zone, while Münster's winless run continues. With only two points separating the two teams, the battle to avoid relegation remains tight. Both sides will now look to regroup before their next fixtures.
