Thrilling Home Victory for Fortuna Düsseldorf over Eintracht Braunschweig, secure scoreline of 3-1 (2-0)
Fortuna Düsseldorf Secures Third Consecutive Home Win Against Eintracht Braunschweig
In an exciting match at the Merkur Spiel-Arena, Fortuna Düsseldorf emerged victorious against Eintracht Braunschweig, securing their third consecutive home win in what appears to be the 2025 season.
The game began with Fortuna Düsseldorf taking an early lead, as Dawid Kownacki found the back of the net just one minute into the match. Christoph Klarer added to the scoreline in the 25th minute with a header, giving Düsseldorf a comfortable 2-0 lead.
Eintracht Braunschweig fought back in the second half, with the ball apparently crossing the goal line as it fell after Kastenmeier caught it on the line in the 62'. However, video review confirmed the goal for Eintracht Braunschweig, putting the score at 2-1.
Despite pushing for an equalizer, Braunschweig were unable to find the back of the net again. Fortuna Düsseldorf remained dangerous from set pieces throughout the match, and Jona Niemiec scored his debut goal for the club in the 85', initially ruled offside but awarded after a lengthy review.
Düsseldorf had to clear a shot off the line in the seven minutes of added time (90.+1), but ultimately held on to secure the win. Notable performances for Düsseldorf included Jorrit Hendrix, Matthias Zimmermann, who returned to the starting lineup after an injury, and Rouwen Hennings, who took the penalty for the home team but saw it saved by Jasmin Fejzic.
It is currently unclear where Fortuna Düsseldorf stand in the league table, as the new season may not have started yet or the results have not been updated publicly. Michal Karbownik made his comeback and started on the bench, while Kastenmeier made several key saves for Braunschweig, including a header from Robin Krauße in the 48'.
Fortuna Düsseldorf's next game is away to SSV Jahn Regensburg on Saturday, March 4, with kick-off at 13:00.
