The most embarrassing turnaround in a Bundesliga match against Fortuna: matchday 31 of the 1990/91 season. While football Germany was gripped by the title duel between Kaiserslautern and Bayern, a wildly dramatic match unfolded at the Rheinstadion. Düsseldorf led 3–0 against VfL Bochum through goals from Jørn Andersen, Martin Spanring and Thomas Allofs – yet did not even salvage a point.
Michael Rzehaczek, Josef “Jupp” Nehl, Dirk Helmig and Frank “Funny” Heinemann turned the match around between the 36th and 69th minute. Older fans felt déjà vu, because the same thing had happened in 1980 when Fortuna threw away a 3–0 lead at 1860 Munich.
