"The team kept up the pressure and added to the scoreline," said coach Mirko Casper. After Tshimuanga made it 3-0 the visitors did hit back with a fine individual goal for a 3-1/2-time scoreline.
The U14s stuck to their task and in less than eight minutes increase their lead to 5-1 with two goals from Emrehan Gedikli (51', 58'). 43 points from 15 games unbeaten keeps the U14 side clear in first place.

After recent minor setbacks, the U15s were happy to pick up three points again. The team coached by Florian Junge made an impressive start against Düsseldorf and went 2-0 up with an early double from Christopher Scott (7', 15')..
Fortuna fought back in the middle of the second half to score a consolation goal. But Scott restored the two-goal lead for the U15 side with his tenth goal of the season. That was enough to take them up to third place.
