The Lilies won the first of two friendly matches against FC St. Gallen 4-2 (4-1) on Thursday (July 17th) as part of their training camp. The goals were scored by Luca Marseiler, Aleksandar Vukotic, Fraser Hornby, and Killian Corredor.
The Lilies took control of the game from kickoff and created the first good opportunity early on through Killian Corredor. But despite the South Hessian dominance, it was the Swiss who took the lead in the 7th minute. SV 98 remained completely unfazed and turned the game around within five minutes. First, Luca Marseiler took advantage of a Corredor pass to fire a well-considered shot into the right corner (11th minute), and four minutes later, Aleksandar Vukotic headed home a Marseiler corner.
With the lead behind them, the Lilies became even more dominant, repeatedly playing deep and scoring again after 25 minutes. Fraser Hornby converted a penalty that he himself had earned.
Florian Kohfeldt’s team continued to exude enthusiasm until the halftime whistle, repeatedly regaining possession immediately after losing the ball. The best goal of the first half came practically on the halftime whistle: Killian Corredor ran solo toward the goal and beat goalkeeper Watkowiak with a lob. The score was 4-1 at halftime.
After the break, the Swiss provided the first highlight. Chima Okoroji blasted a free kick onto the crossbar. Otherwise, there were few opportunities in the penalty area after the break; the Lilies defended with focus and showed confidence in the ball, but failed to create any clear-cut chances. Shortly before the final whistle, however, a sixth goal was added, with Jordi Quintilla scoring from close range to make it 4-2.
Line-Up: Brunst (Schuhen, 46′) – Lopez, Pfeiffer (C), Lidberg, Marseiler, Hornby, Nürnberger (Papela, 65′), Akiyama (Maglica, 46′), Klefisch, Vukotic, Corredor (Furukawa, 65′)
Goals: 0-1 Alessandro Vogt (7′), 1-1 Luca Marseiler (11′), 2-1 Aleksandar Vukotic (15′), 3-1 Fraser Hornby (25′ p), 4-1 Killian Corredor (45′), 4-2 Jordi Quintilla (84′)
After 13 unbeaten second-division matches, SV Darmstadt 98 suffered their first defeat this Friday evening. Three unfortunate minutes just before halftime, during which Patric Pfeiffer was sent off and Vincent Vermeij scored twice, paved the way for Dresden's victory. After the match, the focus was primarily on the differing assessments of two very similar incidents by the refereeing team – incidents which both coaches subsequently evaluated identically.
For the first time since October, Darmstadt 98 finished a league match without any points: SV 98 lost 3-1 (2-0) to SG Dynamo Dresden. After a controversial red card against Patric Pfeiffer (42nd minute), the home side scored two goals in first-half stoppage time to secure the victory.
