Last year, the Merck Stadium became a huge open-air bedroom for the first time. The campaign had a serious background: In order to draw attention to the issue of homelessness in Germany and especially in the Darmstadt region, SV 98 organised an overnight stay in the stadium for a good cause. This year the event will be held again; on the night of November 1st to 2nd, the Bölle will once again become a large open-air dormitory.
The SV 98 U21s were unable to take any points back to Darmstadt in the away game last Saturday (September 14th). Coach Daniel Petrowsky's team lost 3-0 to second-placed RW Walldorf in the Hessenliga.
It was one of those moments that can literally make things explode. After an hour, Fraser Hornby moved decisively into the penalty area and confidently nailed his shot under the crossbar. 2-0, a blue and white crowd of cheers in front of the south stand, ecstasy in the stands. But less than two minutes later, the disillusionment came: after the video assistant intervened, Hornby's goal was taken back, the score was turned back to 1-0 and something happened to the SV 98 team that ultimately led to the guests from Braunschweig taking a point from the game.
A late goal meant the points were shared in Florian Kohfeldt's head coach debut. We have summarised the voices about the game for you.
The first point under the new head coach Florian Kohfeldt has been collected: the Lilies took the lead but Eintracht Braunschweig levelled to make it 1-1 (1-0). Sergio Lopez scored for the home team in the first half. Braunschweig's Szabo equalised late in the second half.
As is well known, Florian Kohfeldt has to do without the long-term injured Matthias Bader, Paul Will and Fabian Holland for his debut as Lilien head coach, and Oscar Vilhelmsson is also missing with adductor problems and goalkeeping coach Dimo Wache (due to illness). Fraser Hornby will be in the starting lineup for the first time this season in the game against Eintracht Braunschweig (September 14th/1pm).
