SV Darmstadt 98’s U21 team has mastered its first season in the Hessenliga with flying colours. Even though they lost their last match against Türk Gücü Friedberg 2-3, thus missing a slim chance of a Regionalliga relegation, pride prevails. Henry Held gave the Junglilien an early lead, but after a thrilling game, a late goal from the visitors decided the match.
Head coach Daniel Petrowsky draws an overall positive assessment of the 2024/25 season: „A year ago, a team was built from scratch that now impresses with a strong sixth-place finish and the second-best defence in the league. The U21 team has not only established itself in terms of its sporting credentials, but has also received league-wide recognition for its courageous, committed style of play.“ Petrowsky is optimistic about the future: „The way we played football makes us want more.“
