Full-time: Jahn Regensburg 0-3 Fortuna Düsseldorf
A deserved victory for Fortuna, who won convincingly despite taking their foot off the gas in the second half. Regensburg had several chances, but their wastefulness allowed David Kownacki to effectively kill the game with the second goal. After two sending-offs for their opponents, Düsseldorf added to their lead and ultimately maintained their position at the top of the table with confidence.

Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Out of nowhere!
Van Brederode dribbles forward unchallenged and delicately chips the ball to Kownacki in the box. The Pole is also allowed far too much space and freedom from opponents is able to finish from close range to double his team's lead.

Half time: Jahn Regensburg 0-1 Fortuna Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf have been the more proactive, with Rossmann particularly dangerous. The game's only goal so far came from a set-piece, and it was Fortuna's first goal from a corner this season. Meanwhile Regensburg, who have only scored one goal this season, haven't offered much going forward. Enochs' side will need to come up with more ideas in the second half.

Kick-off!
De Wijs also gets a chance to prove himself
Jordy de Wijs is also in the Fortuna starting line-up for the first time this season in the league. The 29-year-old Dutchman had previously only played as a substitute in the first three matchdays (for a total of seven minutes).
Quarshie's chance
Joshua Quarshie starts for Fortuna for the first time since 8 March 2024 (2-0 home victory against HSV). The 20-year-old has only played eight minutes so far this season (two in the DFB Cup, six on Matchday 1 in the 2-0 win at Darmstadt).
Full debut
Regensburg's striker Eric Hottmann is in the starting line-up for the first time in his young second-division career, having previously made four appearances as a substitute.
Four changes for Düsseldorf
Daniel Thioune makes four changes to his side compared to the 3-0 home defeat against HSV) as Quarshie, de Wijs, Appelkamp and Iyoha play in place of Fridriksson, Gavory (both not in the squad), Hoffmann and Haag (both suspended).
Fortuna starting XI
Kastenmeier - Iyoha, Oberdorf, Quarshie, de Wijs - Zimmermann, Appelkamp - Klaus, Jóhannesson, Rossmann - Kownacki
Regensburg starting XI
Gebhardt - Wurm, Bulic, Breunig, Ballas - Pröger, Viet, Ernst, Hein - Kühlwetter, Hottmann
Daniel Thioune on Regensburg
"The table only counts on Matchday 34. Regensburg had an outstanding last season with promotion as the final result. This season, they knocked a Bundesliga team out of the DFB Cup. Although they have scored few goals so far, they have created many goalscoring opportunities."
Joe Enochs on Düsseldorf
"For Düsseldorf, it was their first defeat in 21 matches in Bundesliga 2 against HSV. It's incredible what a run they've had. Despite the loss against HSV, they're coming as league leaders with a lot of confidence, so we need to put in a really good performance to keep the points here."
