The Hessians continue to pursue and put the guests from the Ore Mountains under merciless pressure. The FCE is currently only taking place defensively and can hardly catch a breath.

Tooor for SV Darmstadt 98, 3:0 by Braydon Manu
What’s going on here? Aue breaks apart completely within three minutes and ice-cold Südhessen increase to 3:0 within a very short time. Again, it’s a defensive error. This time Messeguem loses the ball against Honsak. The ball lands over Pfeiffer and Tietz in the course of Skarke, who then unpacks a dry art shot from a half-right position. At full speed he nails the ball with a full instep in the top left corner.

Tooor for SV Darmstadt 98, 2:0 by Tim Skarke
Shortly after the opening goal, it gets even worse for FCE, because Darmstadt immediately increases to 2-0. After a defensive mistake by the Saxons – Cacutalua makes a bad bad pass – Tietz can immediately put through for the free Skarke, who runs alone to Klewin and sinks the ball safely and uncompromisingly in the bottom right corner.

Tooor for SV Darmstadt 98, 1:0 by Luca Pfeiffer
The home side take a 1-0 lead. Tietz initially loses the ball in attack, but Kempe immediately follows up, recovers the ball and puts it through for Pfeiffer. He doesn’t hesitate for long at the edge of the penalty area and simply pulls the left to the lower left corner. Klewin stretches in vain. The ball goes over the line over the inside post.

After another corner ball, the lilies get their first really good opportunity. After a short corner, Skarke occupies the backcourt and gets the ball at the penalty spot. His low shot from the right is parried on the line with a strong reflex by Klewin, who is there despite poor visibility.

The FCE also worked out the first corner kick. However, Soufiane Messeguem’s ball, which was pulled too close to the goal, is a treat for Marcel Schuhen, who grabs it safely and can hold the ball effortlessly.

In the subsequent corner kick, Kempe pulls the ball too sharply in front of the goal. Klewin works his way up and can rectify the situation with a fist defence. Zolinski can even start a counterattack, but can’t get through by dribbling alone.

Gonther clears against Tietz for a corner. Holland pulls the stationary ball from the left up to the second post, where Pfeiffer heads back to the left post. There, however, the FCE defense can clear the next corner.

The first conclusion of the game belongs to the southern Hesse. Gjasula’s shot is not really dangerous. The Darmstadt player closes from the second row in the supine position. A case for the grandstand.

The lilies take matters into their own hands right from the start. But the Saxons also press up. No team has yet made dangerous representations in the opposing penalty area. The sampling phase is still generously skipped.

The ball rolls in Darmstadt. The hosts play in blue shirts over white shorts. The guests from the Ore Mountains are dressed all in orange. Here we go.
20:03
The two teams have faced each other eleven times in a competitive match and the record speaks for the Darmstadt team, who have won eight of these eleven games (one draw, two defeats). The southern Hesse not only won the first leg in the Ore Mountains 2-1, but have also won all five home games against the Saxons with a total of 9-1 goals.
19:58
In the case of the eleven, who are now clinging to the very last straw and should get the away win in Darmstadt, the Auer coaching team is counting on a total of three changes compared to the 2-2 win against Rostock. Sören Gonther, John-Patrick Strauss and Anthony Barylla replace Prince Owusu (suspended), Erik Majetschak and Antonio Jonjic (neither in the squad).
19:53
After four defeats in a row two weeks ago, FC Erzgebirge Aue already looked like they were sure to be relegated. But then the Saxons collected four out of six possible points from their last two league games against Heidenheim and Rostock. FCE scored twice in both games. However, the starting position is not really rosy. With a significantly worse goal difference, taking into account the previous results, Dynamo Dresden are eight points behind. The violets consequently need three victories in the final sprint and also have to hope that the SGD no longer scores.
19:47
Torsten Lieberknecht’s eleven managed to turn the tide last Saturday. The Hessians celebrated an important 2-1 away win at FC St. Pauli, which we have to build on today. The Lilien coach therefore has little reason for changes and leaves it at one change: Braydon Manu returns to the starting eleven after the yellow card suspension has been paid off. Marvin Mehlem initially takes a seat on the bench.
19:41
Darmstadt is not overly in form in the home game. The southern Hesse have only won two of their last six league games (one draw, three defeats) and gambled away their good starting position in the promotion race with only seven out of a possible 18 points. In the last home game in the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor, there was also a really big setback when the Lilien lost 5-2 to FC Schalke the week before last.
19:35
As an exception, the top game of the week rounds off the game day on Saturday, as there will be no game on tomorrow’s work day. The last encounter of the 32nd matchday brings a lot of explosive power. The Saxons need the away win in Darmstadt. Even with a draw, relegation to the 3rd division would be irrefutable. The lilies, on the other hand, could profit from the blunder of Bremen with a home win, overtake the troupe from the Weser and take second place. The competition should follow this match with correspondingly great interest.
19:30
Good evening and a warm welcome from the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. Here, SV Darmstadt 98 welcomes FC Erzgebirge Aue at 8:30 p.m. as part of the 32nd match day of the 2nd Bundesliga.
