Düsseldorf and Münster Play Out Scoreless Draw in Crucial 2. Bundesliga Relegation Clash

Fortuna Düsseldorf missed the opportunity to secure their fourth consecutive home win as they were held to a 0-0 draw by SC Preußen Münster in a critical 2. Bundesliga relegation battle on February 13, 2026. Both clubs, currently threatened by relegation, remain dangerously close in the standings, separated by just two points despite being five places apart.

The match, played in Düsseldorf amidst carnival celebrations, was largely uneventful and marked by a lack of clinical finishing from either side. Fortuna Düsseldorf struggled to capitalize on key chances, most notably in the 20th minute when Florent Muslija's indirect free kick from five meters bounced off teammate Anouar El Azzouzi instead of finding the net. Münster, fighting to escape the relegation zone, remained winless in eight consecutive matches and have only managed one victory in their last eleven games.

This stalemate leaves both teams in precarious positions with Düsseldorf unable to create a buffer from the drop zone and Münster enduring a prolonged poor run of form. Despite some attacking intent displayed, both sides failed to threaten effectively, reflecting their struggles in front of goal and the high stakes of this relegation confrontation.

The result deepens the challenge for Münster, currently positioned 16th, who must find a way to reverse their fortunes to avoid falling further into trouble. Meanwhile, Düsseldorf’s missed chances underline the need for greater offensive sharpness if they hope to secure safety in the remaining fixtures.

As both teams look ahead, the goalless draw preserves a tense situation in the league's lower ranks, emphasizing the fight for survival in Germany's second division.
