Darmstadt 98 landed an important break in the basement duel against Eintracht Braunschweig. On the 9th matchday, the lilies beat the completely insecure climber 4-0 (4-0) and gained air with their first home win of the season and a total of 12 points. Braunschweig (8) remains in the relegation zone.
The lions experienced a pitch-black first half at the Böllenfalltor and literally invited the brisk hosts to the gates. Tobias Kempe (6th / 36th) scored twice with a penalty, both times after fouling striker Serdar Dursun, who also excelled as a double packer (7th / 34th).
“After the last two games we had to show a reaction,” said Dursun on Sky, referring to the recent defeats in Aue (3-0) and against Paderborn (0-4): “That’s why we are happy that we didn’t concede a goal and played very confidently in the first half. “
The attacker profited from evil Brunswick carvers. Even after the break, Darmstadt continued to dominate the game, but noticeably slowed down the pace. The Lower Saxony showed little resistance and seemed to be trying mainly to limit the damage.
Osnabrück defeats St. Pauli
VfL Osnabrück reported back with a work victory in the promotion race. Coach Marco Grote’s team won 1-0 (0-0) at the start of the 9th match day at FC St. Pauli and climbed to second place for the time being. With 16 points now, VfL is only one point behind leaders Hamburger SV.
David Blacha (86.) scored late for the very flattering victory of the guests. St. Pauli is still stuck in the table cellar. The former top division club has already played seven games in a row without a win and remains penultimate with only seven points.
The Hamburgers were the better team for long stretches and came to the conclusion more often, but were rarely dangerous. Four days after the first defeat of the season against 1. FC Nürnberg (1: 4), the guests limited themselves to defending for a long time.
Pauli striker Simon Makienok only had the best chance of the game until then after 56 minutes, but the Dane failed from a few meters to Philipp Kühn. The VfL goalkeeper also had to defuse a dangerous free kick by Rodrigo Zalazar (67th) a little later. When everything seemed to amount to a goalless draw, Blacha struck on the other side.
