But coach Torsten Lieberknecht’s team came out of the break with even more momentum. Luca Pfeiffer missed the equalizer seconds after the restart. But the hosts immediately followed suit – and how. First, Gjasula headed in a corner to make it 1-1 in the goal. Shortly thereafter, Captain Holland scored with a shot from the edge of the penalty area to make it 2-1.
Karlsruhe’s away misery continues
Karlsruhe didn’t have much to worry about at first and played harmless offensively. But then Schleusener was there in the center and made it 2-2 after a cross from the outside. Shortly thereafter, the ball was in the Darmstadt goal again.
After video evidence, referee Deniz Aytekin recognized offside (74th). Although Karlsruhe went without a win for the fifth away game in a row, they are still in the middle of the table with 26 points.
Darmstadt have to play in Ingolstadt on the next matchday on Saturday (01/22/2022), Karlsruhe will play against Sandhausen on Sunday.
