Darmstadt 98 fights hard, but only gets stuck with a 1-1 draw against Ulm!

The tension in the Merck Stadium was palpable, but the hope of a victory for the Lilies against Ulm burst like a balloon! Despite the clear superiority and a multitude of chances, the game on October 27, 2024 at SV Darmstadt 98 against SSV Ulm 1846 ended with a disappointing 1-1. The home side spent large parts of the game on the offensive, but their lack of focus in front of goal prevented them from securing anything more than a draw.

The Lilies took an early lead through Hornby's goal in the 16th minute, but just two minutes later Keller equalized for Ulm. Despite the pressing superiority and more playing skills, the form of the Darmstadt team left a lot to be desired. Coach Kohfeldt saw how the team couldn't use the opportunities to win the duel. The game was characterized by intense duels and exciting moments, but the Lilies failed to delight their supporters: a lack of precision and consistency prevented a clear victory.

Game history and personal details

The SV Darmstadt 98 squad had key players like Schuhen in goal, and the defensive line consisted of Lopez, Riedel and Vukotic. Perho, Müller and Förster played in midfield, while Hornby and Lidberg led the attack. The substitute bench could have provided strategic impetus, but the changes did not bring about the hoped-for turnaround.

At Ulm, the defensive line was stable, led by keeper N. Thiede. The lineup included the players Geyer, Strompf and Meier. Despite the well-deserved point, the Ulm team clearly remain at the forefront as challengers, while Darmstadt missed the opportunity to remain in the upper table region.
