Kaiserslautern Beat Ten-Man Fortuna Düsseldorf 3-0
The dismissal heightened Düsseldorf's relegation risk.
Overview
- Kaiserslautern won 3-0 over Fortuna Düsseldorf after Sima Suso's 22nd-minute red card left the visitors with 10 men.
- Suso was sent off for pulling back Norman Bassette to stop a clear scoring chance, a denial of an obvious goal opportunity under the laws.
- Düsseldorf held out to halftime at 0-0 despite sustained pressure from Kaiserslautern's attack.
- Jacob Rasmussen broke the deadlock on 62 minutes with a header after Kaiserslautern kept the attack alive from a corner delivered by Marlon Ritter.
- Semih Şahin doubled the lead with a low strike on 76 minutes and later set up Daniel Hanslik for a stoppage-time third, a result that kept Kaiserslautern seventh and marked Düsseldorf's third straight loss near the drop zone.
