A desolate away performance. A more than clear defeat in Saarland. The Lilies lost 4-0 to SV Elversberg. We have summarised the voices about the game for you in this message.
„Congratulations to Elversberg on their well-deserved victory. First of all, on behalf of Darmstadt 98, I would like to extend my best wishes for recovery to Florian Le Joncour and also to Luca Schnellbacher. We hope that the injuries heal soon.“
The Game:
„What we delivered today shocked me. We knew that Elversberg had a different idea of the game than Nürnberg, but we still trusted the same guys as last week because they were able to go into the game with self-confidence. But then we showed from the start that they weren’t ready at all. It was a catastrophic performance that our fans rightly acknowledged in this way. Elversberg was ready from the start, much more grippy and bilious than us.“
„Thank you for the congratulations and the sympathy for our two boys. Our performance today was very, very good – right from the start. We were also always able to play well on the opponent’s changes. Overall, we played well both forward and defended well at the back. I’m happy with the way we played and our fans supported us. Every game is a challenge for us, so we’re even happier when we win. It was a good day for us, with the exception of the injuries.
„We played a disastrous game. From the first to the last minute. No player came close to his level of performance. You can’t win a game without the basics. We can even be happy about the result in the end. Before the break, it didn’t feel like we had won a duel at all, the opponent had their first big chance after 15 seconds. Elversberg is a strong team and with a performance like that, it’s important that everyone gets their act together We were bad today and we really took a beating. We now have one point from four games. We don’t have to sugarcoat it, it’s just not a good thing at all lose, but still in all clarity.“
„It’s inexplicable after our great game last week against Nürnberg. We can’t lose like that today. We lost almost all of the duels and were simply outplayed mercilessly. We actually wanted to be disgusting. But even with the first goal we conceded we can’t prevent the cross and weren’t there in the center – I don’t exempt myself from that. We have to get together now and take a different approach.“

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.
