Full-time: Nuremberg 2-2 Dusseldorf
The intense encounter ended with a draw that was probably fair overall. Nuremberg took control in the first half and created several scoring opportunities. Dusseldorf barely got into the encounter initially and the hosts took a deserved lead. After the goal, Fortuna improved and even took the initiative after the break. Justvan could have increased the lead with a penalty, but missed twice after it was retaken. Dusseldorf then got back into it with a penalty converted by Jóhannesson. Tzimas put Nuremberg into a late lead, only for a Justvan own goal to level it for a second time.

The teams head to the dressing rooms with Nuremberg having been the better side, setting the tone from the start. Dusseldorf have sat deep and struggled to relief themselves from the constant pressure.
