In January 2008, Fortuna Düsseldorf hosted the SWD Wintercup, inviting Bundesliga sides Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer 04 Leverkusen over for a short one-day tournament. Fortuna won it, beating Dortmund 1–0 in the final. The winning goal was scored by Kastrati. A few days later, Fortuna played a friendly against Bayern Munich. Bayern won 3–2, thanks to goals by Jan Schlaudraff and Luca Toni. Kastrati had a chance to equalise in the 89th minute, but he unfortunately crashed into Bayern's third choice keeper Bernd Dreher.
