2. Bundesliga: Düsseldorf vs. Karlsruhe – First Half Shotless

The Karlsruher SC remains without defeat in the 2nd league. Against Fortuna Düsseldorf, the Badeners succeed in a goalless draw. The game is not particularly high -class, as the statistics of the first half illustrate.

The Karlsruher SC stays in the success of success, but loses the ground to the again victorious second division leader Hannover 96. On Saturday evening, coach Christian Eichner’s team won 0-0 at Fortuna Düsseldorf and was therefore undefeated for the fourth time in a row-however, only played undecided for the second time. As a temporary third in the table in the 2nd Bundesliga, the KSC has four points behind Hanover.

Düsseldorf has last prevented room for improvement with a win and now the draw in four league games, but at least after two opening bankruptcies. And the series against the KSC holds: The last success of the Badener on Düsseldorf Rheinufer dates from March 2016.

In a long time, the hosts had the first great opportunities in a long time, in which both teams showed little risk. After almost half an hour, Valgeir Lunddal’s header (28th) landed just next to it, two minutes also shot Shinta Appelkamp.
