    In the starting lineup. Games starts at noon eastern on FS1, Fox Deportes, Fox Sports Go, and Fox Soccer Match Pass.



    Highlights from last weeks 1-0 loss which start with a Morales challenge the lead to a Fortuna counter. Does some nice work to get a shot off at 0:38 forcing a save. At 1:00 Klassen floats behind Morales and the pushed up left back into space leading to a run and a cross.

    It’s a sin that a team that is as weak in the midfield as we are, neglect to call up and play Fredo Morales more often.

    The fools on Düsseldorf's right left Bellarabi with all the space in the world to send the perfect cross. Fortuna down 1-0.

    Fortuna doesn't have anyone who can score, and their midfield is weak, as in literally weak, getting pushed off the ball time and again easily. If they go down, I don't see them coming back up right away.

    Morales is part of the problem, with Bayer attacking on the sides, Morales sticks to his central channel and is seldom involved in anything.

    After Leverkusen ruining three chances to go up 2-0, they're tired and finally Fortuna is taking the game back. Hradecky saving their skin twice in a row. Thommy the most dangerous man for Düsseldorf.

    ---

    Two subs in Fortuna, Morales still put in his central role. Bayer took out Bellarabi, who was their best player but was already tired. With him gone, one feels the visitors have a chance.

    ---

    66' Header in the area finds Morales's upper back and ball goes out. Guess his mater didn't see he was facing the other way. Fredo playing a more attacking role now.

    ---

    68' Morales arrives a second too late to a cross, would've been a clear shot.

    ---

    70' Kastenmeier saves Fortuna twice in a row. Steffen's gonna have to regain his spot.

    ---

    Very entertaining game. A loss here and Fortuna ends the week as last in the table. Looking at the games to come, this is one where getting a point would be huge for them.

    ---

    Possible PK denied to Fortuna after an attack on the left started by a Morales recovery.

    ---

    77' Another great save by Kastenmeier who becomes the MOTM.

    ---

    78' 2-0, Kastenmeier comes out wrong in a corner and Bender is smarter than Hoffman and scores. RIP Fortuna.

    From 58' to 78' Fortuna had their best 20 minutes in a long time.

    Sadly, their best was not enough.

    For all his limitations, Morales has heart. That is good.

    PS: Fredo disappeared Demirbay in the second half, stuck to him like a barnacle to an old ship.

    Zimmermann commits a needed PK. 3-0, but it was over already.

    So Adams and Chandler sit in the game I can watch... but Morales starts in the one that I can't? Fugging typical.

    Morales reminds me of US players from the '90s: not that much flair, but a total battler.

    You can watch here, in case you're on the move.

    Ktown showing some cup grit...

    Morales had a good half, but their formation is silly puddy....

    For those tunning in after halftime, he plays... Wild right 6.

    Well, that's not exactly high praise. But when in a team like this, you can't be too technical and rather run wherever there is a fire to put out. That's been Morales role: trying to put off a fire, covering holes and trying to initiate counters.

    K'lautern at home is never easy, not even now that they are 3.Liga. They have some of the best fans, and the Betze is legendary.

    PS: If streams stops, just F5 it.
