The Lilies showed their best performance of the season against 1. FC Nürnberg and got their first point of the season. Only an absolute dream goal from the guests prevented the win. After the final whistle, the Darmstadt protagonists appeared satisfied with the performance, but at the same time a little hesitant about exploiting their chances. We have summarised all the voices about the game for you.
The Lilies scored their first point of the season at the Bölle, even if the three points were deferred. SV 98's home game against 1. FC Nürnberg ends 1:1 (1:0). Lidberg had shot the home team into the lead in the first half before the guests equalised out of nowhere.
Compared to the success in the DFB Cup, Torsten Lieberknecht changed his starting eleven to three positions. Marcel Schuhen returns in goal, Killian Corredor and Isac Lidberg celebrate their starting eleven debuts. Karol Niemczycki and Luca Marseiler are initially on the bench, while Oscar Vilhelmsson is missing from the squad with adductor problems. Clemens Riedel will once again lead SV 98 onto the field as captain.

And how does the head coach assess the squad situation after Guille Bueno's loan? These and other questions were answered on Friday at the press conference before the game.
