After the disastrous relegation, the final grades are revealed. - Fortuna perfectly grounded.
Fortuna Duesseldorf ends their season in the 2. Liga after losing to Bochum in the playoffs. Bochum managed to tie the score from the first match at 0:3, and then won 6:5 in penalties.
Florian Kastenmeier
The right-back, along with many others, was not at his best. Hard to understand given his impressive performance in the first match. Rating: 5
Matthias Zimmermann
The seasoned defender, like several of his teammates, was not up to the task. Rating: 5
Tim Oberdorf
Despite allowing three goals, the center-back remained solid. He was not the reason for the team's loss. Rating: 4
Jordy de Wijs
Like Oberdorf with a routine performance. His tears at the final whistle showcased the disappointment he felt. Rating: 4
Emmanuel Iyoha
Iyoha did not contribute much at the left-back position. He seemed disconnected from the match. Rating: 5
Yannik Engelhardt
A talented midfielder with potential, but he did not show up on this evening. Perplexing. Rating: 5
Marcel Sobottka
Sobottka played despite a head injury and headband, reflecting the pain that Duesseldorf felt. Rating: 4
Ao Tanaka
What went wrong with Tanaka? He had been outstanding in the previous months before this seemingly unexplainable performance. Rating: 6
Felix Klaus
The player who scored the 3:0 in the first match was a shadow of his former self in the return leg. Rating: 6
Christos Tzolis
The leading 2. Liga goal-scorer gave his all but failed to turn the tide in the attack. Rating: 4
Vincent Vermeij
Vermeij was completely disregarded by the VfL defense. He had no chance. Rating: 5
Isak Johannesson
Coming on as a substitute (75th minute for Tanaka), Johannesson tried to introduce more structure to the team. It was somewhat successful. Rating: 4
Jona Niemiec
Substituted in for Klaus (75th minute), Niemiec finally brought something on the right flank. However, he could not create anything significant, missing a big opportunity near the end. Rating: 4
Takashi Uchino
Brought on as a late substitute (82nd minute for Sobottka), Uchino failed to make an impact. His missed shot in the penalty shootout sealed Duesseldorf's fate. Rating: 5
Christoph Daferner
Substituted in (82nd minute for Vermeij), Daferner tried to inject some energy into the attack. Rating: 4
Andre Hoffmann entered the game in extra time (97th minute for de Wijs), but arrived too late for a rating.
Daniel Thioune
A successful coach in previous games, Thioune's strategy didn't work this time. Keeping Shinta Appelkamp on the bench could have provided more stability. Instead, his team maintained their poor form. Rating: 5
