Defeat in Düsseldorf

VfB return home empty-handed from the Rhineland after losing 1-0 away to Fortuna Düsseldorf on Friday evening. The only goal of the game was scored from the penalty spot early in the second half. VfB had more of the ball for much of the match but were unable to break down their defensively well-organised hosts in an encounter witnessed by 37,137 spectators, including more than 3,000 VfB fans.

Personnel

VfB made two changes to the starting line-up against Fortuna, with Alexandru Maxim and Boris Tashchy beginning in place of Berkay Özcan and Philip Heise. Tobias Werner was included in the squad for the first time.

Highlights
11th minute After starting brightly, VfB suffer an early setback when Hajime Hosogai is forced off the pitch due to trouble with his left thigh. Matthias Zimmermann replaces the Japanese star.
29th minute Almost half an hour passes before the hosts seriously threaten the VfB goal for the first time. Mitch Langerak prevents his team from going behind with a save from Ihlas Bebou's header.
53rd minute VfB start the second half poorly. Following a challenge between Düsseldorf's Oliver Fink and Stephen Sama in the VfB penalty area, referee Benjamin Cortus points to the penalty spot. Bebou converts it to give the hosts the lead.
61st minute Tobias Werner comes on in place of Stephen Sama to make his debut for VfB.
74th minute A huge chance to equalise but Simon Terodde can only hit the side netting from Emiliano Insua's low cross.
90th minute +4 Was it a penalty? Referee Cortus opts against awarding a spot-kick after a challenge between Alexander Madlung and Simon Terodde in Düsseldorf's penalty area – a dubious decision.

Mitchell Langerak:

We didn't really get into the game today and weren't incisive enough. It was a difficult match and we'll have to learn from it. We'll digest this setback and do better in the cup next week.

Summary


VfB pushed towards goal for much of the match on Friday but ultimately lacked incision up front. Time and again attacks petered out against the well-drilled Fortuna backline, with Düsseldorf repeatedly making interceptions. At the other end of the pitch Langerak's good reflexes kept VfB in the game but the Australian was powerless to stop Düsseldorf's penalty. VfB were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty of their own in stoppage time.
