Düsseldorf embarrasses: 0: 3 bankruptcy against HSV after 21 games without defeat!

The good run from Fortuna Düsseldorf has found an abrupt end. For the first time in eight months, while the 21 league games undefeated, the league leader of the 2nd Bundesliga was defeated by Hamburger SV on Sunday with 0: 3. This was an unexpected defeat that was characterized by unfortunate moments, like the red card for Giovanni Haag, which caused additional frustration in the 81st minute.

After the game, the disappointment with captain André Hoffmann was noticeable. "0: 3, red card - a totally used day for us today," he said full of displeasure. The goals for the HSV scored Jean-Luc Dompé in the 8th minute and Robert Glatzel, who was successful twice-once with a penalty in the 83rd minute and ultimately with a goal in the 90th minute. This defeat brings the HSV to the team of coach Daniel Thioune on only two points.

The causes of defeat

In the 100th game as a trainer of Fortuna, the former HSV coach Thioune found that his team missed many opportunities. "We lost the game completely on the offensive," said Thiune, "the quality of our chances was very high, but we have to use what we have." Despite more possession of the ball and significantly more final options, it was not enough to defeat the strong opponent.

The Fortuna performed with a high level of self -confidence, but had the bad luck right at the beginning of the game when Dompé shot the ball into the goal from a distance. "That was a dream goal," said Thioune, who sees HSV as one of the opponents with the most financial means in the league. This could increase the strong performance on the offensive of the Hamburg team, while Düsseldorf has to recover from this early defeat.

The opportunities for opportunities was the Achilles' heel of the Düsseldorf. Despite several occasions in the first half, they failed to achieve the balance. The pressure from the HSV increased in the second half, and after the avoidable handball of Haag, the penalty, which led to 2: 0, became the final decision. Glatzel confidently converted the penalty and finally gave the Fortuna another setback.

The Rhinelanders are looking for new sponsors despite these setbacks and hope that the model of free tickets will also create high number of views this season and thus also a significant interest. However, Thiune has to increase the performance of his team in order to regain the trust of the fans and to end the series of defeats.

While Fortuna Düsseldorf lived with the hope of returning against VfL Bochum after a lost relegation game, the challenges this season seem greater than ever. The fact that they went into this game as the league leaders shows the potential that is in the team - and it remains to be seen whether they can overcome this setback to dominate their season.
