Fortuna Düsseldorf secured a 2-0 victory against FC Schalke 04 on the second-to-last day of the 2. Bundesliga season. Myron van Brederode and Dawid Kownacki scored the goals for Düsseldorf, while Schalke’s loss puts them in a strong position to plan for next season, thanks to their superior goal difference. However, Düsseldorf must hope for mistakes from their rivals on the final matchday to have any chance of securing an ascent into the top tier. In another game, SV 07 Elversberg defeated Eintracht Braunschweig 3-0, with Fisnik Asllani and Muhammed Damar scoring doubles to secure the victory. Elversberg dominated the game and made a clear statement in the fight for promotion to the Bundesliga, while Braunschweig struggled offensively and failed to create any noteworthy chances. Meanwhile, SC Paderborn clinched a narrow 2-1 victory against 1. FC Magdeburg, with Felix Götze scoring the decisive goal for the Ostwestfalen. Magdeburg had taken the lead earlier but couldn’t hold onto it. Paderborn remains in the race for the third place, which would qualify them for the playoff.
