Darmstadt 98 strives for a 2-1 cup win against VfB Lübeck
On Saturday evening the time had come: SV Darmstadt 98 played against VfB Lübeck in the first round of the DFB Cup and was able to advance to the next round with a 2-1 win. The fans in the Lübeck Arena could look forward to an exciting evening of football, even if the game itself didn't have too many highlights. A total of 8,682 spectators gathered to support the Lilies.
The first goal for Darmstadt came somewhat surprisingly in the 34th minute when Matej Maglica scored from a corner. Up until then, the first half had been rather bland, with few chances for both sides. The second part of the game began with a yellow card for Aleksandar Vukotic in the 46th minute, which underlined the aggressive style of play of the Darmstadt team. In the 73rd minute, Fraser Hornby was able to extend the lead to 2-0 - his goal came after a precise cross from Clemens Riedel.
Addition time provides a thrill
However, Lübeck's big performance only came in stoppage time. Pierre Becken scored the next goal in the 90th + 1 minute and thus ensured an exciting final note, even if the equalizer was no longer achieved. However, Darmstadt clearly showed their form after this game and have now won all three of their first games of the season, even if the game against Lübeck was not brilliant. That also reported Sports Yahoo.
Overall, the Lilies' performance was solid, but also room for improvement. Isac Lidberg, the team's regular striker, had no significant impact on the action on the pitch, while Maglica and Fabian Nürnberger, who were new to the starting eleven, made a lasting impression.
Outlook for the next duels
The next round of the DFB Cup will take place on October 28th and 29th, with the draw taking place on August 31st. Darmstadt can look forward to another exciting competition. Before that, however, there is an important league game against Hertha BSC next Sunday, which the Lilies should not underestimate.
The progress the team can show under the pressure of the cup round will be crucial to remaining successful in the league. And as the last matches have shown, SV Darmstadt 98 has the potential to cause a stir this season. So let's stay tuned!
