The U23 of Fortuna Düsseldorf continues its negative run. Coach Nicolas Michaty’s team lost 0:1 (0:0) at FC Gütersloh and now holds the red lantern.
On the seventh matchday in the Regionalliga West, FC Gütersloh won 1:0 (0:0) against Fortuna Düsseldorf II. Patrik Twardzik (49th) scored the golden goal in front of 1356 spectators at Gütersloh’s Heidewaldstadion.
It was the third defeat in a row for Fortuna. With four points from seven games, coach Nicolas Michaty’s team is at the bottom of the table.
Michaty described the game as a “very bitter defeat” at the press conference.
To make matters worse, Fortuna will have to do without central defender Seymour Fünger in the upcoming match, who received a yellow card three minutes after his substitution in the 70th minute. We played a lot of long balls and mainly went for the second balls, which we did well. We also allowed few goal chances. “
For us, it’s now a matter of continuing to learn from this. I saw a lot of positive approaches

But the Gütersloh side took the lead shortly after the break, which the 49-year-old found “unfortunate”. “A draw would not have been undeserved from my point of view, but the win for Gütersloh is also okay. There are still some small differences between a young team and a more experienced and more solid team that wins such a game 1-0,” the Fortuna coach summed up the game.
“For us, it’s now a matter of continuing to learn from this. I saw a lot of positive approaches,” said Michaty, looking ahead. His opposite number, FCG coach Julian Hesse, agreed with his colleague’s assessment and described his team’s success as “very important”.
Despite the three points, Hesse still saw room for improvement: “In the last third, we often acted too inaccurately. As a result, we didn’t play out some promising situations with enough determination. In the second half we have to make it 2-0, we left too much to chance.”
With eleven points, the East Westphalians are in eighth place in the table, an excellent start to the season for the promoted team. A real challenge awaits FCG on the next matchday in the form of Fortuna Köln. Düsseldorf II welcomes Alemannia Aachen.card saw for splashing with a water bottle (73.), an absolute curiosity.
