mid-term conclusion
Rostock and Darmstadt go into the break with a goalless draw. The guests did not live up to their role as favorites in this first half. Hansa was the better team. The hosts put Darmstadt under a lot of pressure and created a few chances. There weren’t any really big opportunities yet, but the xGoals were still on Rostock’s side at the end of the first half. The Lilies had the best chance just before the break. Honsak showed his class and only failed because of Kolke. All in all, Hansa can be very satisfied with the first half. Darmstadt, on the other hand, has to step it up a notch.
