Overview

• Düsseldorf produced the clearer chances, with four big opportunities to Karlsruhe's none, but could not find a goal.
• Goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier criticized the lack of precision in finishes, noting too many efforts flew into the stands.
• Head coach Daniel Thioune said the team must live with the draw yet expressed irritation over too few shots for a home match.
• Thioune changed to a back four with two strikers at half-time, and a late push still failed to yield a breakthrough.
• Recent signing Zan Celar made a low-key debut from the bench, and defender Jesper Daland's loan was announced before kickoff though he was not in the squad.
