No Points in Ulm
Defeat at the Donaustadion. SV 98 lost 2 - 1 (0-0) to SSV Ulm and must return home without any points.
The Lilies started their away game against SSV Ulm in a controlled manner and seized the initiative early on. The first promising opportunity arose after ten minutes: Following a precise long ball, Killian Corredor delivered a powerful shot into the middle, but Isac Lidberg was denied at the last moment. Just three minutes later, Darmstadt threatened again down the flank, this time narrowly missing a Marseiler cross.
After the opening minutes, the hosts also got into the game better and had their first shots on goal, but they failed to create any real threat. Things got tense for the first time after 26 minutes: Marcel Schuhen parried a cross, and Andreas Müller, in dire need, cleared the ball for a corner from Allgeier who was looking to pounce.
As the match progressed, much of the game was played between the penalty areas. It wasn’t until the 37th minute that the next shot came, but Corredor’s effort flew well wide. Three minutes later, however, came the best chance of the game so far: Ulm goalkeeper Thiede parried a shot from Sergio López, and Lidberg stepped up to rebound, but Thiede just managed to tip the ball onto the post. The break came a short time later with no goals scored.
The Lilies had the first shot after the break through Lidberg, but conceded five minutes after the restart when Röser turned in a cross. Seven minutes later, Batista Meier doubled the lead for the home side from distance as his effort flew into the top corner. The Lilies tried to mount a quick response, but Thiede had no trouble with Jean-Paul Boëtius’s effort just before the hour mark.
A set piece brought the Lilies back into the game in the 68th minute: Following a precise corner from Guille Bueno, Clemens Riedel rose high and headed in to make it 2 – 1 – his first goal as a professional. Two minutes later, Corredor narrowly missed the equaliser after a misplaced pass from Ulm’s back line, with Thiede tipping the ball over the bar.
In the closing minutes, Darmstadt pressed determinedly for an equaliser and created several dangerous positions. However, their shots were unable to seriously test the ‚keeper and the hosts were able to hang on for all three points.

Lack of context
More than 30,000 fans packed the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion, creating an impressive atmosphere under the floodlights – pure football romance. The setting for Darmstadt's away match against Dynamo Dresden was truly special. Two teams with a playful and attacking approach faced off. For 42 minutes, these ingredients combined to create an entertaining, tactically sophisticated, and intense duel. Until a referee's decision decisively influenced the outcome. We look back on an emotional evening in Dresden.
„The referee decided the game today.“
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.
Undefeated streak ends
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.
