DJK Teutonia St. Tönis 1–4 Fortuna Düsseldorf II: Class Tells as Düsseldorf Reserves Cruise

Match Time: 16 July 2026, 01:00 | Venue: Sportplatz St. Tönis

Fortuna Düsseldorf II delivered a professional away performance to beat DJK Teutonia St. Tönis 4–1 in an International Club Friendly. The Regionalliga side’s superior technical quality and fitness levels were evident throughout, as they controlled the game from start to finish.

First-Half Control

Düsseldorf II took the lead inside 10 minutes when winger Can Yılmaz cut inside and curled a right-footed shot into the far corner. The visitors doubled their advantage midway through the half: a quick free kick caught the St. Tönis defence napping, and Marlon Bender slotted home from a narrow angle. St. Tönis struggled to keep possession, often giving the ball away in midfield, and Düsseldorf added a third just before the interval through a powerful header from centre-back Niklas Witte following a corner.

Second Half and St. Tönis Consolation

Fortuna eased off the tempo in the second half but still looked dangerous. Their fourth goal came from substitute striker Luca Hartmann, who finished a sweeping counter-attack in the 65th minute. St. Tönis earned a consolation goal with 10 minutes remaining, captain Timo Heesen pouncing on a defensive mix-up to tap in from close range. It was a moment of pride for the home fans but did little to change the overall narrative of the game.

Key Takeaways

• Düsseldorf II’s pressing forced numerous turnovers in dangerous areas, with all four goals stemming from transition plays.
• St. Tönis showed spirit in the latter stages but lacked the cutting edge to trouble a well-organised defence.
• The friendly served as valuable minutes for Düsseldorf’s fringe players, with several first-team returnees getting game time.

Attendance and Atmosphere

Approximately 450 spectators witnessed the match on a warm summer evening. The home supporters created a lively atmosphere despite the result, reflecting the club’s community focus.
