With a three-goal lead and a man advantage, Elversberg have surely secured all three points, but they do continue to push forward. Damar is stopped on the left side of the penalty area.
76'
Red card for Nürnberger!
Frustrated, Darmstadt's left-back allows himself to be provoked into kicking Baum. An extensive scuffle ensues, at the end of which referee Benen shows Nürnberger a straight red.

Asllani! 3-0!
Scoring made easy! Pinckert can dribble through the centre unhindered, and Asllani only needs a simple movement to get free. The striker appears centrally in front of Schuhen and confidently slots it home for 3-0!

Neubauer! 2-0!
Elversberg wait for the moment and here it comes. They win the ball in the Darmstadt half, Asllani lays it off with his heel to Damar on the right edge of the penalty area. He caresses the ball past two opponents and then serves the overlapping Neubauer on the left with perfect timing. The left-back keeps his cool and slots it home for 2-0.

38'
Nice attempt
Corredor strikes the ball from the left edge of the penalty area, putting a lot of spin on it, but it curls just wide of the top right corner.

Game management mode
Elversberg are not making any great efforts, but they're also not allowing anything at the back.

Darmstadt in a hurry
The hosts are winning the ball back much quicker than Elversberg, but Darmstadt then lack composure when they have possession.

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).
31'
Papela!
After winning the ball on the left touchline, the midfielder shows some courage, dribbles forward and curls a right-footed shot just wide of the far post.

First Yellow
Pickert stops Corredor on the halfway line and is cautioned.

Fellhauer!
What a rocket from the Elversberg captain! Darmstadt can't clear the ball from the danger zone. It rolls out kindly to the lurking Fellhauer, who blasts the ball into the top left corner at about 120 km/h - a magnificent goal!

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Elversberg
"Elversberg are one of the teams that perhaps play the spaces between the lines most consistently and want to play through from back to front most consistently. Elversberg are a team who want to regain possession quickly. Therefore, I expect an open match. As a fan, I would have high hopes of seeing an attractive game on Saturday."
Horst Steffen on facing Darmstadt
"The change of coach has brought success and a different playing style. They have a very mature approach with various formations. They have a basic structure in a 4-4-2, but how they position themselves in attacking play is variable."
Lilies hungry
Darmstadt's last home victory against Elversberg was almost 22 years ago, in May 2003 when they achieved a 3-0 win in what was then the third-tier Regionalliga Süd.
