That should have been 2-0
Münster win the ball and Bouchama suddenly finds himself completely free. He runs towards Kastenmeier and tries to slot the ball into the right corner, but Kastenmeier anticipates it and saves the shot.

Half-time in Münster
Münster are surprisingly leading against the table-toppers from Düsseldorf. The goal was also the only shot on target from the home side. Düsseldorf are clearly more active in attack, but simply can't get the ball over the line. The match is wide open.

No takers
Klaus is sent deep on the right wing and then crosses to the far post. There's no one there to receive it, so the ball rolls out of play.
36'
Deflected shot
Klaus has some space 20 metres in front of the goal, advances a couple more paces and then takes a shot. His attempt is deflected off a Münster player's leg and is easily caught by Schenk.
34'
Vermeij!
The Dutchman has a great chance to equalise! Klaus crosses from the right side, Vermeij gets his head to the ball at the far post, but puts it centimetres wide of the left post!
31'
Nearly 2-0!
Fortuna lose the ball during build-up play and then it all happens quickly. Németh is played through with a through ball, and he gets a free shot from about 12 metres out on the right side of the penalty area! Kastenmeier saves, and then the flag goes up as well.
27'
Münster in front!
Just as it seemed Düsseldorf were getting closer to taking the lead, Münster strike! Németh is on the right wing and crosses into the middle. Right-back Ter Horst has pushed forward and heads the ball into the net from about five metres out, unmarked!
19'
Klaus!
Klaus is played through on the right side of the penalty area and takes a shot from a tight angle. Schenk uses his fists to parry the ball away!
17'
Vermeij blocked!
A first good attacking move from Fortuna! The ball flows smoothly around the Münster penalty area. Vermeij then drives towards the edge of the box and has a clear shooting opportunity with his left foot, but his attempt is blocked.
14'
Beautiful cross
Makridis has the ball on the left wing and delivers a dangerous cross in front of the goal. Kastenmeier comes out a few metres from his line and punches the ball away.

Counter-attack!
Oberdorf loses possession cheaply, allowing Münster to launch a counter-attack. Bouchama crosses from the right side, but finds no taker in the middle.
7'
Plenty of possession
In this opening period, Preußen have more possession and at times are pushing Düsseldorf deep into their own half. However, they lack a cutting edge in front of goal.
3'
First glimpse
The home side play a long ball into the opposition penalty area. It's blocked but falls to Makridis, who immediately shoots from 15 metres out. However, his attempt hits an opponent's leg so poses no threat to the goal.

Kick-off!
Münster kick off and are playing in their white shirts with green stripes. Fortuna are in red.

Three changes for Düsseldorf
Following the 4-3 home defeat against Kaiserslautern, Thioune makes three changes to his team: Rossmann, Niemiec and Kownacki make way for Vermeij, Appelkamp and Klaus.
One change for Preußen
Compared to their last league match, Münster make only one change with Németh starting up top today instead of Friðjónsson.
Fortuna's starting XI
Kastenmeier - Zimmermann, Hoffmann, Oberdorf, Iyoha - Haag, Jóhannesson - Klaus, Appelkamp, van Brederode - Vermeij
Münster's starting XI
Schenk - Ter Horst, Koulis, Frenkert, Kirkeskov - Hendrix, Preisinger - Bouchama, Mees, Makridis - Németh
Thioune's view on Münster
"In Münster, we will once again need what we have managed better away from home than at home so far: A good attitude towards the game and good defending. I think, fundamentally, it's not important which personnel we field, but our attitude on the pitch is what counts."
Hildmann's view on Düsseldorf
"Düsseldorf, the league leaders, are coming as clear favourites. They have won all their away matches so far. However, we want to play for a win. We need to push ourselves to the limit, maybe even overperform, to be able to win."
Relegated despite victory
Back then, the home teams won their respective matches. Preußen won 2-0 in the second half of the season in May 2006, but were still relegated.
A while back
The last time these two former Bundesliga clubs played against each other was in the 2005/06 season back in the then third-tier Regionalliga Nord.
First professional meeting
Münster and Düsseldorf meet for the first time in Germany's top two divisions on Friday evening.
