Darmstadt immediately up to operating temperature
The people of Darmstadt, who were plagued by corona infections during the international break, started energetically at their home Böllenfalltor. The 1:0 was already in the air with the first attack, but Mathias Honsak missed a cross in the penalty area (4th). But a little later it was time. After a counterattack, a cross from Bader landed directly in the goal from the right.
Darmstadt continued to have fun for his fans, who had helped clear the snow from the pitch that morning. Honsak had the next goal on his feet in a solo down the left wing with a shot at the near corner (25′). Kiel, on the other hand, hardly ever appeared dangerous in front of the 98 goal.
Seydel on the spot
But the hosts increased before the break. After a sprint, Bader brought a pass down to the right wing flat in front of the goal, where Seydel only had to push him over the line to make it 2-0.
Kiel made a change at the break, brought in new offensive forces in Wriedt and Finn Bartels and switched to a back three in defence. Coach Marcel Rapp’s measures bore fruit immediately. Wriedt hit the short corner in the first attack from half left to make it 1:2.
Mühling-Elfer keeps shoes
But in return, Manu scored a Holland cross from the left from a short distance to make it 3-1 in the goal. Kiel could have shortened again, but “Lilien” goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen parried a penalty he had caused against Kiels Mühling (60th).
The game then remained more open than in the first half, but Darmstadt still had the better chances. Phillip Tietz hit the post on a counterattack (76′). The “Lilien” play on the 29th matchday next Saturday evening (April 9th, 2022) at 1. FC Nürnberg. On Sunday (1.30 p.m.) Kiel will host Hamburger SV in a northern duel.
