Darmstadt remain unbeaten in their tenth consecutive second-division match. Although it certainly didn't look that way after half an hour. But SV 98 kept their composure in the freezing cold Olympic Stadium and earned a point against Hertha BSC after trailing 2-0. We look back at a weak 30 minutes, but also at the impressive response from the team from southern Hesse. Our analysis of matchday 20.
A cold shower in cold Berlin, but after a weak 30 minutes, they came back and absolutely deserved a point. Darmstadt experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in their away match against Hertha BSC, but after a convincing second half, the unbeaten run of the South Hessians remains intact. SV 98 has now gone ten league games unbeaten. While Marco Richter was happy to have salvaged a point after being 2-0 down, Fraser Hornby was annoyed that they hadn't managed to score the winning goal.
Darmstadt bounced back from a weak start, drawing 2-2 (2-1) after 90 hard-fought minutes in the capital. Hertha BSC found themselves two goals up after a quarter of an hour, but Hornby's brace (39th, 62nd minute) crowned their comeback. The unbeaten run for the South Hessians thus continues; their last league defeat dates back to the end of October.
