Fortuna Düsseldorf and Karlsruher SC played to a scoreless draw in a tightly contested match on the fourth matchday of the 2. Bundesliga.
The encounter was a battle from the outset, with clear-cut scoring opportunities proving scarce. The first genuine threat emerged in the 28th minute when Muslija delivered a cross to Lunddal, whose header narrowly missed the target to the right of the goal.
Just two minutes later, Muslija again provided service, this time finding Appelkamp, but the forward’s attempt drifted slightly too far to the right. Despite these moments, Fortuna Düsseldorf arguably edged the first half, though the 0-0 scoreline remained a fair reflection of the play.
Opportunities were again limited after the restart, with the first chance of the second half arriving in the 69th minute. Muslija’s cross found Appelkamp, whose header was cleared off the line by Bernat. However, the match largely lacked excitement and ultimately concluded without a goal. Karlsruher SC offered little in attacking threat throughout the 90 minutes, contributing to a game notable for its defensive solidity rather than attacking flair.
