3:55 p.m
The Lilies can initially stop Köpenicker’s active phase and take possession of the ball. After a few passes in front of the Union penalty area, a cross from Justvan ends up in nothing.

15:53
Union increases the pressure! Král keeps the ball in play on the right goal line, whereupon Hollerbach follows up at the right moment and maneuvers the ball across the entire penalty area. Tousart then misses at the left five-point corner.
19.
15:51
Back to sporty! Behrens runs into a gap at the right post and approaches the ball with a long leg just in front of the goal. Schuhen plays attentively and throws himself on the ball in time.
18.
3:49 p.m
Ultimately, the protest takes around five minutes of playing time. Unlike in the stadiums yesterday, today the Union fans repeatedly throw the tennis balls onto the grass with short interruptions. So the folders have to move out several times.
16.
3:47 p.m
The court has to be cleared around the injury break: this time tennis balls fly onto the grass.
14.
3:46 p.m
Clemens Riedel can’t continue playing! SV98 coach Torsten Lieberknecht has to change early and brings Christoph Zimmermann as a replacement.

Substitution at SV Darmstadt 98: Christoph Zimmermann

Substitution at SV Darmstadt 98: Clemens Riedel

3:44 p.m
While the fans are now also joining in and ending their protest, Darmstadt’s Riedel has to be treated longer. The right-back wants to continue playing, but hobbles across the field very badly injured.
12.
3:42 p.m
The fan protest creates a strange atmosphere at the Alte Försterei. Every now and then you hear a clap or a shout. It has something of a district sports facility. Luckily it’s about to get louder again…

On the other hand, Sharke now also goes into a competitive duel for the ball and catches Gosens on his supporting leg. A scene that fits this fighting game well!
7.
3:38 p.m
Too wild! Alex Král doesn’t want to accept a loss of the ball against Fabian Holland and immediately uses his body. However, when tackling from behind, the Czech was too aggressive and was therefore called back by the referee.
6.
3:37 p.m
Now follows the lilies’ first attempt! Sharke breaks free at the left end of the penalty area and is blocked when he shoots from the turn. As a reward there is a corner, but this is unsuccessful.
5.
3:35 p.m
Good start from Union! The Köpenickers immediately bring speed into the game and initially like to come down the left side, where Schäfer immediately stands out as an asset.
2.
3:33 p.m
Uncertainty about SV98 goalkeeper shoes! The Lilies’ goalkeeper takes too long to pass back from the team in front of him and after a few seconds almost allows Union to have a shot at the empty goal.
1.
3:31 p.m
And off! Referee Harm Osmers grabs his tools and whistles to start the game. The home team wear their red home jersey, the lilies wear white shirts.

3:30 p.m
Game start
15:24
The signs of the game are clear: Both clubs go into the game with great pressure and cannot afford another defeat in the direct duel for a place above the relegation zone. Who will get the big points for staying in the league?
3:00 p.m
The Union team made two changes after the 1-0 defeat at FC Bayern: Behrens replaced Volland in the attack and Schäfer replaced Haberer in midfield.
14:56
Experienced Klaus Gjasula will provide more stability in defense for the Lilies today. The Albanian displaces Matej Maglica from the Lilies’ starting eleven and is about to make his first appearance in the new year.
2:47 p.m
The key to Union’s success today is the home strength, which has almost been lost. Although the Iron Men have only won three home wins so far, they also recorded three of their four wins this season at the Alte Försterei. In addition, the SVD also has the league’s shooting gallery in Köpenick: The Lilies have already conceded 46 goals and are therefore by far the most vulnerable team in the table cellar. Union is 15th in the table. Although they only had four points more, they also allowed 14 fewer goals.
2:37 p.m
Without coach Nenad Bjelica on the sidelines, who was suspended for three games after his assault on Leroy Sané, 1. FC Union goes into its important home game against SV Darmstadt today. If the Iron Men get three points against the Lilies, the Köpenickers would gain a little more breathing room in the table cellar.
