Spain and Croatia. Poland and Austria. The Dutch and Swiss as well as Italy and Turkey. And then there is the final on July 14th between the Spanish national team and England. The Olympic Stadium in Berlin hosted a total of six, sometimes breathtaking, games at UEFA Euro 2024 this summer. A good three weeks later there is no longer any trace of the EM hustle and bustle. Instead, everyday life in the second division was back on the agenda for the third largest German stadium after Dortmund and Munich: Hertha BSC on the first matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga against SC Paderborn. And exactly where the Spaniards were crowned European champions 20 days earlier, the team from East Westphalia celebrated last Saturday (August 3rd).

After the 1-1 draw at the start of the 2024/25 Hessenliga season against Hünfelder SV, the U21s of SV Darmstadt 98 made their way to northern Hesse last Saturday (August 3rd). The away game against KSV Baunatal ended in a goalless draw, which gave coach Daniel Petrowsky's team another point win.
What a scene that took place in the Merck Stadium at the Böllenfalltor in the 68th minute of the game. A scene that was emblematic of the entire 90 minutes of SV Darmstadt 98’s 2-0 defeat against Fortuna Düsseldorf. A sharp corner from Paul Will landed perfectly on the head of Fraser Hornby, who powerfully pushed the ball towards the Düsseldorf goal and forced Florian Kastenmeier to make his first of two brilliant saves. Kai Klefisch was in the right place for the rebound that followed, but he too failed with his powerful shot past the Fortuna keeper. Unhappy. Exactly the adjective that best describes both this scene in the 68th minute of the game and SV 98’s opening defeat.
The Lilies start the 2024/25 second division season without anything countable. SV Darmstadt 98 lost 2-0 to Fortuna Düsseldorf in the sold-out Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. The Darmstadt team put in a decent performance, especially in the first half, but failed to show the necessary efficiency, especially on offense. The blue and white protagonists in front of the microphones were accordingly disappointed with the end result. We have summarised all the voices about the game for you.
