The Darmstadt jubilee days continue. After a little convincing performance on the second day at the 1.FC Nuremberg, a last-minute goal was enough for the flattering 1-0 victory. It was the first away win of the lilies since then 23.11.2024.
After the last minute bankruptcy at SV Elversberg (0: 1), Miroslav Kloses elf missed the hoped-for reaction, above all offensive disappointed Nuremberg-and once again conceded a goal again. The Darmstadt coach Florian Kohfeldt met by the substitute Killian Corredor (90.+4) out of nowhere after they had set an exclamation mark against Bundesliga relegated VfL Bochum (4: 1) at the start.
“It’s totally bitter because the team didn’t deserve it“, said Klose after the final whistle in the Sportschau interview. “But that’s how it is in football. We did it last year, they did it this year.”

Darmstadt coach Kohfeldt, who had sprinted over the entire place for the goal scorer during the winning goal, also remembered the late Nuremberg victory last season. “In February it was just a game. And the ball falls in with us. So it just felt super cool because you know: that’s it now!”
Tough start to the game
The results of the first match day were symbolically for the beginning of the game in the Max Morlock Stadium. Darmstadt put pressure on the pointless Nuremberg and took the place to develop. They did not get serious chances to score.
The Nuremberg also took a long time until the first goal. After a long discount from goalkeeper Jan Reichert, the ball came to Artem Stepanov – SVD’s defender Patric Pfeiffer, but at the last second got the leg in between (17th). Danilo Soares’ second ball After the subsequent corner, the goal from goalkeeper shoes also missed only by hair width – the hosts were now in the game.
Reichert defused Richter’s remarkable volley
Unimpressed: The guests from southern Hesse. Marco Richter, borrowed from Mainz, took a volley from the right by volley and forced enrichment to a brilliant parade (24th). Anyone who had hoped for an open exchange of blows of the 32,455 spectators was disappointed. It went into the break with a goalless draw, and there was nothing to be seen from the three-goal man Lidberg until then.
After the break, Semir Telalovic came for Stepanov, Darmstadt remained unchanged. Trainer Miroslav Klose had wished for more Punsh before the game and last year’s top scorer of SSV Ulm should take care of last year. The guests had the first chance. Kai Klefisch stuck on the sixteen on Hiroki Akiyama, who failed at the heavily parrying Reichert (48th).
Darmstadt begins again, Nuremberg harmless
Little came from the club for the fact that the Franks wanted to celebrate their first home game since March 16, 2025. The Darmstadt, however offensive against Bochum, also missed the necessary goal. A lot of possession of the ball in midfield, passes from right to left, but the necessary depth was rarely there. Not surprisingly, a loss of balls of the Lilien Nuremberg gave the first chance to score in the second half – Tim Janisch ‘conclusion was too unplaced in the end (65th).
Large parts of the game took place in midfield
Substitute Telalovic, successfully twelve times for Ulm last season, missed a perfect debut with his new club and moved out of an alike position (71.). Just four minutes later there was the next big chance for the home side. Captain Robin Knoche forced shoes in the Darmstadt gate to a glossy act.
Knoche forgives and Corredor meets
It was the beginning of the late Nuremberg urge phase. A new corner ends up on the head of Gruber this time. Shoes in cooperation with the latte prevented the late winning goal for the Franks. The Darmstadt -based people floating in the last few minutes longed towards the final whistle, at least it seemed that way. Then the substitute Corredor took his first serious opportunity with the final whistle and immediately punished the Nuremberg carelessness.
Can’t believe the renewed late defeat: Robin Knoche
