Geis throws at Tempelmann, who pulls in briefly and then simply pulls away from 25 meters. The right-hand shot, however, is a case for the grandstand. So far, nothing has come offensively from the club in the second round.

Darmstadt wants more than one point. This double change shows that clearly. With Leipold and Honsak two fresh offensive forces come.

Yellow card for Pascal Kopke (1. FC Nuremberg)
Because of the handball on the line, Köpke now also sees the yellow card and is therefore well served. The referee lets mercy do justice here, above all, because Pfeiffer used the margin.

Tooor for SV Darmstadt 98, 1:1 by Luca Pfeiffer
There’s the balance. Bader refuels to the right and crosses sharply inwards. Mathenia punches the leather into Tietz’s feet, who doesn’t hit the ball properly, but still gets it on goal. There Köpke stands and prevents the impact in the style of a goalkeeper with his hand. But the ball remains sharp. Pfeiffer shifts the fastest and pushes the leather over the line with his left hand.
56
21:46
At least one more conclusion. After Manu is initially blocked, Bader claims the ball and can withdraw after a one-two. But he doesn’t catch the ball properly, which clearly goes past the Nuremberg goal to the left.
55
21:44
Slowly but surely, Torsten Lieberknecht has to think about making further changes. The Hessians don’t even come close to a degree because Nuremberg doesn’t let anything burn defensively.
52
21:41
The lilies remain as passive in the second round as in the first half. The ball possession advantage is still on the side of the club, which, however, is in no hurry with the lead in the back and does not do the south Hesse the favor of running into the counterattack.
49
21:38
Yellow card for Tom Krauss (1. FC Nuremberg)
Krauss comes too late in the duel against Holland and only catches his opponent with the slide tackle. Clear yellow card.
46
21:34
The teams are back on the field. With the guests, Seydel stays in the dressing room, for which Tietz takes over. The hosts continue to play unchanged. The ball rolls again.

Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:20
Mid-term conclusion:
Nuremberg leads 1-0 at the break against Darmstadt. The lilies got off to a better start and had a big chance in the second minute of the game, which Seydel carelessly missed. But then FCN found their way into the game over long periods of possession and increasingly took over the initiative. Schindler initially only hit the crossbar with a header (25′), before Dovadan marked the deserved lead shortly before the break after Geis’ free-kick (43′). The southern Hesse left the field to the Franks for long stretches and waited for moments of change. In view of the deficit, guests who are a bit too passive must now become much more active if they are to make the leap to first place tonight.

Official stoppage time (minutes): 1

21:13
Tooor for 1. FC Nürnberg, 1:0 by Nikola Dovedan
With a standard situation, the club now takes a 1-0 lead out of nowhere. Geis circles a free-kick from the right half-field softly on the head of Dovedan, who comes to the end from ten meters. The ball hits the bottom left corner, bounces just past shoes on the inside post and from there into the goal. The Lilien keeper looks a little unhappy with that potentially sustainable header.
41
21:12
Both teams still have five minutes to maybe take the lead in the first round. In this game, which is currently very one-on-one, there aren’t really any goals in the air at the moment.
38
21:10
The hard-fought game remains very intense, but still manages without too many noteworthy scenes in the penalty area. The stable defensive rows allow too little.
35
21:05
The pace only stays low for a few moments. The club abruptly ramped up the pressure again and took the initiative back. Darmstadt sometimes acts too passively and often wants to react instead of taking action itself. However, the concentrated francs offer little room for Darmstadt switching moments.
32
21:03
The top game is still missing the goals. The southern Hesse are not attacked in their own third and allow themselves a little break on the ball.
29
21:00
At a Darmstadt corner, Sobiech remains the winner against Krauss in an aerial duel, but heads the ball well over the Nuremberg goal. Kick off FCN.
27
20:57
Manu lets craftsman stand with a leg shot when he advances over the right, but Geis is there behind and saves for his teammate. Defensively, the Middle Franconia don’t burn much at the moment.
25
20:56
Latte for Nuremberg! Geis brings a corner from the left flat onto the first post, where Sørensen initially lets it pass. Handwerker doesn’t go right, but Tempelmann recaptures the ball on the other wing and lays it down for Dovedan. His cross finds Schindler on the second post, but his header from six meters only smacks the crossbar.
22
20:54
Not without risk: A second-row finish touches down just before shoes that cannot hold the leather. In the follow-up, however, he can then bury the ball under himself before an FCN player can make a profit from the small wobble.
20
20:51
After a corner from the right, Mathenia is there with a strong reflex against a Pfeiffer degree. The guards in front can then hit the deflected shot out of the danger zone.
18
20:49
Both teams easily bridged the midfield. But neither the Middle Franconia nor the South Hesse come behind the chain of defense. Since the Seydel big chance, the game has lacked scenes in the penalty area.
15
20:46
After Darmstadt’s bad pass in the build-up game, Kilian Fischer asserted himself on the right wing and then crossed flat into the centre, where Pascal Köpke simply unpacked the back-heel trick at the first post. However, the ball comes right on Marcel’s shoes, who grabs it safely.
14
20:45
Darmstadt looks more alert and a little more precise in the game, but Nuremberg’s game looks more secure on the ball overall. The club has long ball relays, which, however, result in nothing countable.
11
20:42
Luca Pfeiffer charges forward on the right wing, but Asger Sørensen is close to the opponent and is able to prevent the pass from going into the middle, where two SVD players are lurking. After a block, Pfeiffer then goes into the duel with his leg stretched out, whereupon the referee whistles the scene because of dangerous play.
8th
20:39
Darmstadt continues to press, but the club does not hesitate after winning the ball and looks for a direct counterplay. Both teams are up to speed remarkably early.
5
20:37
The first few minutes belong to the guests, who leave no doubt that they want to regain the lead of the table tonight. The club is defensively challenged from the start and is under pressure.
2
20:33
The first big chance of the game belongs to the lilies. After a free kick from the left, Pfeiffer heads the ball to Seydel, who shoots free from six yards. The right-footed shot, however, just missed the goal. Huge dope for the club.

20:31
The ball is rolling in Nuremberg. The hosts wear red shirts over black shorts. The guests from Hesse are dressed all in white. Here we go.
20:03
There were 21 encounters between Nuremberg and Darmstadt in the 2nd Bundesliga. The club conceded a total of 36 goals against Lilien. FCN have not conceded more goals against any other second division team. The defense will be challenged accordingly in today’s game.
19:58
The two teams have faced each other 32 times so far and Nuremberg leads the direct comparison with 13 wins (ten draws, nine defeats). However, not only the first leg went to the lilies (2:0). The SVD has also recently been extremely successful away from home in Middle Franconia. The southern Hesse have not lost any of their last eight guest appearances in Nuremberg (two wins, six draws). The last club home win over Darmstadt dates back to September 9, 1978.
19:53
Darmstadt celebrated an important 3-1 home win over Holstein Kiel last Saturday. Torsten Lieberknecht therefore sees few reasons for changes and leaves it at a single change: Tim Skarke replaces Mathias Honsak (bank).
19:48
SV Darmstadt lost an important top game at Werder Bremen 0-1 before the international break. However, this was Lilien’s only defeat in the last seven league games (three wins, three draws). Overall, the away record of southern Hesse is good. Torsten Lieberknecht’s team was able to win seven of the 14 away games in the league (three draws, four defeats). Only Paderborn and Bremen celebrated more victories in the distance (eight each).
19:42
The club recently scored 13 out of a possible 15 points before the upward trend was stopped last Sunday with the 1: 3 bankruptcy in Heidenheim. Compared to this game, coach Robert Klauß changed his starting lineup to three positions: Johannes Geis, Nikola Dovedan and Tom Krauß are given preference over Lukas Schleimer, Taylan Duman (both on the bench) and Fabian Nürnberger (suspended).
19:36
The Lilien are the last team from the current top group that still has to play on the 29th matchday. The table standings will be decided accordingly tonight. With an away win in Central Franconia, the southern Hesse would conquer the top of the table. The draw would at least be enough for third place. For their part, however, FCN has the chance to move up to two points from Darmstadt with a home win, which then remained in fourth place. The Saturday evening game of the 2nd Bundesliga brings with it a lot of explosiveness.
19:30
Good evening and welcome from the Max Morlock Stadium. This is where 1. FC Nürnberg welcomes SV Darmstadt 98 tonight at 8:30 p.m. as part of the 29th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga.
