After the defeat in Regensburg, Elversberg made an impressive comeback with a 3-1 victory against Hannover, who had at least entered Matchday 13 as leaders.

On the last matchday, Fortuna managed to secure at least a 1-1 draw against Paderborn with a very late goal, but before that, there were defeats in Münster and against Kaiserslautern.

Further competitive matches between the two clubs only occurred in the 1999/00 season in the then third-tier Regional League West/Southwest.

In the reverse fixture at the Merkur Spielarena, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Düsseldorf inflicted Elversberg's heaviest defeat in the Bundesliga 2: On Matchday 4 last season, Fortuna won 5-0 in Saarland (they also lost 5-0 in Braunschweig).
