At Fortuna, Vincent Vermeij moved back into the first eleven and played for Christoph Daferner. In addition, Erik Engelhardt had to sit on the bench for the first time since the third matchday, and new signing Joshua Quarshie was allowed to start for him in the professional field for the first time. At Elversberg, Frederik Jäkel returned to the team after serving a red card ban and displaced Florian Le Joncour from the first eleven. In addition, Paul Stock and, for the first time ever, Joseph Boyamba were used, while Paul Wanner and Thore Jacobsen remained out.
Consider Fortuna clearly
The guests from Elversberg started offensively and had two chances in the first four minutes through Jannik Rochelt (1st) and Maurice Neubauer (4th). But after that the home team took over the game more and more and became more and more dangerous. First Vincent Vermeij with a header (3rd), then Christos Tzolis with his forehead (11th), then Jona Niemiec with his head (15th) could have taken the early lead. This was ultimately ensured by Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson, who pushed a long cross from Vermeij over the line at the right post from one meter to make it 1-0 (19th). It was the Fortunes’ first lead this year.

And the home team wanted more and continued to put Elversberg under pressure. But they now also missed the best chances. Just like Ao Tanaka, who, after a pass from Niemiec, missed Elversberg’s keeper Nicolas Kristof from ten meters (32′). Or Joshua Quarshie with a header after a corner on the inside post (35th). At this point it was 9:3 for Fortuna based on shots on goal. It wasn’t until stoppage time that the guests had another shout for goal when Maurice Neubauer shot well from distance, but F95 goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier made a great save (45th+3).
Boyamba manages to equalize
And yet this shot should be a wake-up moment for the guests. Because Elversberg came out of the locker room much more agile and offensive, putting Fortunen under pressure from the start without initially putting himself in dangerous positions. Düsseldorf was safe at the back. But then Rochelt was able to assert himself strongly on the right, pass into the middle and Joseph Boyamba, who had run in, only had to push in from five meters to make it 1-1 (53′).

As a result, both teams looked as if sharing the points was enough for them and hardly played forward in a targeted manner. It would take 27 minutes before the spectators saw another shot on goal, although not a dangerous one; Semih Şahin clearly missed the goal (80th). But then the ball was in the goal again. Wahid Faghir scored after a counterattack, but after video analysis the goal was disallowed due to offside (90th + 1).
