Düsseldorf, Germany – On Saturday, May 3, 2025, Fortuna Düsseldorf suffered another setback in their campaign as they faced Eintracht Braunschweig, ending the match in a 2-2 draw. This result saw Düsseldorf stuck at 50 points after 32 games, now sharing the same scoreline with 1. FC Magdeburg, who had a disastrous outing the night before.
The match began with Düsseldorf trailing but made a spirited effort to equalize. However, they could not secure a win against a team fighting against relegation. Coach Daniel Thioune expressed disappointment, stating, “We had the chances to take all three points but missed key opportunities.”
In a contrasting scenario, Hamburger SV ended their three-match winless streak in style with a commanding 4-0 victory over Darmstadt 98. This triumph propelled HSV back to the top of the table, at least until the end of the day. Coach Tim Walter praised his team’s performance, saying, “Today’s match was crucial. We showed resilience and a fighting spirit.”
The evening’s match will feature 1. FC Köln taking on Jahn Regensburg, who have already confirmed their relegation from the league. Köln will be looking to capitalize on the situation and secure valuable points as they aim for a strong finish this season.
On another note, Darmstadt’s defense faced a setback as key players Aleksandar Vukotic and Andreas Müller received yellow cards, making them unavailable for next week’s match against Kaiserslautern.
In further developments earlier in the day, Hannover 96 secured a 2-1 victory over SSV Ulm despite a red card for defender Boris Tomiak, whose season might be over after this match. Hannover now stands at 49 points, being in striking distance of the promotion spot.
Next week’s matches promise to add more excitement as Schalke 04 will face SC Paderborn, and 1. FC Magdeburg will look to recover against Preußen Münster.
