Full-time: Dusseldorf 2-2 Hamburg
An engaging encounter ends in a fair draw. Both sides really showed their intent, albeit they largely cancelled one another out in the second period after a very open first half.

Ginczek is in
What a chance for Dusseldorf to seal a win. Ginczek takes a long ball down well to go through on goal but it just runs away from him and Heuer Fernandes can get to the ball first.

Time for a late twist?

Montero off
The centre-back slides in to bring Peterson down and sees his second yellow. Hamburg are down to ten for the final stages.
86'
Niemiec seeks Kownacki
The substitute drills the ball into the box but it's turned behind before the centre-forward can connect. Fortuna are looking the more likely side to score right now.
86'
Tense final few minutes ahead
One late blow would make a lot of fans very happy - and send another lot of fans into despair.
82'
Nemeth hits over
Glatzel sends a header in an awkward position over to the far post, where substitute Nemeth smashes over with a volley from an improbable angle.
80'
Klarer over
After his own goal, the centre-back tries to pounce at the right end of the pitch by meeting a corner with his head. It's well over. Both sides want a win here, and it's impossible to say which way this tie is going in the final minutes!
78'
Kittel volleys wide
Hamburg are sensing they can win this! They gain control of the ball and Kittel tees himself up to smash a volley just wide.
75'
Hamburg level!
The visitors pounce to make it 2-2. Kittel gets the ball played over the shoulder of Klarer, whose attempt to get back and clear the ball leads to him accidentally poking past his own keeper. VAR checks if Kittel handled it in the process, but the goal is allowed to stand.

Kittel tipped over
Hamburg win a free-kick right on the edge of the box. Kittel hits it well but Kastenmeier tips it over the crossbar.
70'
Steady as we go
There haven't been too many signs of Dusseldorf's defensive ranks crumbling at all with the clock starting to run down.
66'
No penalty
Hennings was pushed by Katterback in the box in trying to meet a clipped cross. VAR took a look at that but no spot kick was awarded. The striker is then brought off for young Niemiec.

Substitution for Hamburg
Goalscorer Benes is off with Finnish winger Anssi Suhonen tasked with breathing new life into their attack.
60'
Defensive Dusseldorf
The hosts are putting a good nine or ten men behind the ball when Hamburg are moving the ball around in midfield. That is making if difficult for the visitors.
55'
De Wijs heads over
The centre-back has a go with a header from the edge of the box - it would have taken a lot to beat Heuer Fernandes from there and the ball sails over.

Kownacki cracks wide
The Polish striker receives the ball on the edge of the box and sets up a shot well but pulls it just wide.
49'
Heyer crosses
The right back clips a cross in but it's too far for Glatzel.
48'
Slightly slower
Hamburg continue to boss possession but there's slightly less of a sense of urgency despite the scoreline. It could be the case that they've been instructed to hold a more solid shape and keep more men at the back.
46'
We're back
Hamburg kick off. Leaders Darmstadt are winning 1-0 at half-time in Nuremberg, placing a bit of pressure on the visitors to swing this tie around.

Close, but no cigar
Jatta and Glatzel link up wonderfully as Hamburg embark on another promising attack but the men in blue can't quite work the ball into good enough of a position to have a shot on goal this time.

Glatzel denied
The Hamburg striker wins the ball when Dusseldorf try to play out from the back and has a fierce drive saved. Hennings then loops a header into Heuer Fernandes at the other end. End to end stuff here!

Zimmermann zips one in
The right-back scored twice two weeks ago in Rostock and has a shot from a tight angle deflected behind. Karbownik has a shot saved moments later as the hosts look to press on during a good spell.
34'
Hennings hammers free-kick into wall
The free-kick was placed promisingly for the hosts near the corner of the box, but the Fortuna striker hits the wall, then smashes into it again on the rebound.

How will HSV react?
They continue to play some bright attacking football with quick passing and plenty of pace, but are finding it harder to pick a way through a defence than the solid hosts are.
28'
Klaus clips Fortuna in front!
Hamburg have continued to push only for Dusseldorf to out-do them on the break! A long ball is played from the back and headed by Hennings into the path of Felix Klaus, who strokes a neat finish past Heuer Fernandes and in.

Kownacki brings Fortuna level!
Felix Klaus swings a corner in and Dawid Kownacki sinks a bullet header from the penalty spot straight into the net to make it 1-1. His countryman Robert Lewandowksi would have been impressed by that kind of finishing!

Swift HSV attack
Some super combination play threatens to break through the Fortuna defence with Benes and Kittel both lingering.
13'
Jatta pegs it down the right
A burst from Bakery Jatta sees him beat Karbownik at left-back with ease, and he clips a cross in but nobody can get onto the end of it.
10'
Free-kick to Fortuna
Jatta fouled Iyoha on the left allowing Klaus to whip a free-kick into the box. Hamburg clear that with ease but a long ball into the box soon later troubles Heuer Fernandes. Kownacki then goes one-on-one but is flagged back for offside. What a furious start!
7'
Benes looks for another
Hamburg look to be buoyed by going in front. Goalscorer Benes takes aim from outside the box but sends his powerful effort wide.
5'
Benes brings the visitors in front
VAR confirms the spot kick. The Slovakian has his penalty saved by Kastenmeier in the home goal but runs to slot the ball in on the rebound and send the sizeable travelling contingent wild!

Kick-off fast approaching
We're due to get underway in less than 5 minutes. Some 13,000 Hamburg fans are believed to be here, which is help making for quite the atmosphere!
Atmosphere building
A crowd of over 50,000 is expected at the Merkur Spielarena in Dusseldorf for what has been billed as one of the biggest matches of the season in Bundesliga 2.
More on the Dusseldorf team
Just two changes to the side that romped to a 5-2 win in Rostock a fortnight ago. Jorrit Hendrix is absent from midfield due to suspension, with Sobottka coming in. Captain Andre Hoffmann is also missing from the matchday squad, with De Wijs named at centre-back in his place.
More on the Hamburg team
Four changes are made by Hamburg as they look to push their promotion bid on after being held to a 0-0 draw by Holsten Kiel before the international break. David and suspended captain Schonlau are replaced in central defence by Montero and Katterbach. Benes comes in for Königsdörffer in midfield, while Kittel replaces Dompe in the front three.

More on that last meeting
A first-half strike from Robert Glatzel and stoppage-time header from Bakery Jatta helped Hamburg to a 2-0 win at home in September. Both should start again tonight for promotion-chasing HSV.

As it stands
There are currently seven points and a lot of promotion dreams between the pair. Hamburg are just three points behind leaders Darmstadt, who are in action at Nuremberg at the same time tonight. A win could therefore potentially lift them back to top spot! Dusseldorf are seven points behind Hamburg, but with four matches unbeaten, a home win tonight would send a signal that they are capable of mounting a late charge for a promotion spot.
Good evening!
Early Friday evening means football when it comes to Bundesliga 2. Quite a tasty clash in prospect too as fourth-placed Dusseldorf host third-placed Hamburg. Kick-off is at 18:30 CET, and we'll update you with all the action!
