Actually, everything looked good for Fortuna Düsseldorf. After the leading goal by newcomer Cedric Itten, Daniel Thioune's team had all the cards in hand to celebrate a successful start. But just a few minutes later, the situation looks quite different now.
After center-back Tim Oberdorf received a yellow card in the 39th minute, it took only five minutes before the Düsseldorf player was sent off to the showers with a second yellow. But that wasn't all.

In their cool manner, which is well remembered from the last cup season, Arminia struck directly and equalized through Sarenren Bazee to make it 1:1.
Instead of a comfortable 1:0 lead, as was the case shortly before the break, Fortuna now has to endure the second 45 minutes with one man down and a 1:1 score. Against the typically fighting Bielefeld team, this is certainly anything but an easy task.
