Nürnberg's Janis Antiste, stepping in for the injured Jens Castrop, propelled the visitors ahead in the 19th minute. Mahir Emreli capitalized on the situation in the third minute of stoppage time, making it 2:0 for Nürnberg. In the 61st minute, Jannes Justvan seemed to have secured the win for Nürnberg with a stunning 3:0 goal. However, Fortuna Düsseldorf showcased their determination and guts, as substitutes Danny Schmidt (68'/71') and Shinta Appelkamp (79') scored three quick goals to salvage an improbable draw for the hosts.
Nürnberg's long-range stunner by Emreli
Although Düsseldorf dominated the game, shrewdly defending Nürnberg posed a significant threat during counterattacks. Following Antiste's opening goal, Emreli almost scored his second in the 30th minute. In the 38th minute, Nürnberg's defender Fabio Gruber deflected a shot from Düsseldorf's goalkeeper Dawid Kownacki just over the bar. Ten minutes later, Emreli unleashed a rocket from 35 meters out, leaving Florian Kastenmeier, Düsseldorf's keeper, with no chance.
In the second half, Düsseldorf upped the ante, yet Nürnberg continued to defend shrewdly and remained dangerous on the counter. Justvan's goal seemed to have settled the game, but Düsseldorf showcased an unexpected comeback, alas, they didn’t find the winner.
