After five defeats in a row, Düsseldorf is under enormous pressure. Fortuna will be able to withstand this against Dresden. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of trepidation - for both teams.

Fortuna Düsseldorf celebrated a hugely important win against Dynamo Dresden in the relegation battle. The Rhinelanders won 3:1 (2:0) in coach Alexander Ende's home debut. The win took Fortuna out of the relegation zone in the 2nd Bundesliga, at least for the time being. Düsseldorf now have 34 points, one less than the visitors from Saxony, who are also under threat.

Cedric Itten (11th minute), Emmanuel Iyoha (17th) and Luca Raimund (58th) scored the goals for Fortuna. It was the first win for Düsseldorf after five defeats in a row. Dresden had recently won twice in a row and must also continue to tremble for relegation. Jakob Lemmer scored for Dynamo (90').

Fortuna got off to a dream start. A long clearance from keeper Florian Kastenmeier slipped through to Itten, who ran free towards the Dresden goal. Düsseldorf's top scorer by some distance overcame Dresden goalkeeper Tim Schreiber with ease.

And things got even better for the hosts. Iyoha headed over from a corner, Dresden's Robert Wagner deflected and it was 2:0. Dynamo also had their chances in an entertaining game. Wagner failed to beat the strong Kastenmeier (34') and Schreiber saved from Itten at the other end (41'). When Raimund made it 3:0 after the break, the game was decided. Even Lemmer's late goal did nothing to change that.
