Full-time: Bochum 3-3 Darmstadt

And that's it! After an eventful first half with numerous chances and two goals on both sides, Bochum took control of the match in the second-half and created a series of goal-scoring opportunities. However, they failed to convert these chances and Darmstadt went ahead again after a long ball and an unfortunate own goal by Morgalla. Marshall then scored a debut goal, earning Bochum a share of the points.

GOAL!

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

18 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

That was close!

Hofmann unintentionally lets a ball from Strompf pass through, allowing Miyoshi to appear free in the penalty area, but he doesn't control the ball well enough. Marseiler makes a crucial intervention, otherwise it would have been a good scoring opportunity.

Chances at both ends

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Bochum and Darmstadt are providing a treat for the fans, with big chances at both ends.

Half-time: Bochum 2-2 Darmstadt

Onyeka in form

Youngster Onyeka continues where he left off at the end of 2025. He also scored Bochum's last two goals, in a 2-2 draw against Karlsruhe, and equalised against Darmstadt today.

An immediate response!

And it's almost a carbon copy of the first goal! Hoffmann plays a high ball behind the Darmstadt defensive line, Alfa-Ruprecht wins the physical battle, but then fails to beat Schuhen when clean through on goal. Onyeka made the supporting run and scores from three metres out.

What a goal!

Darmstadt lead! And it's well deserved. Richter lifts the ball from the left behind Bochum's defence, where Hornby, on the right side of the penalty area, lets the ball bounce once before smashing it into the bottom left corner with his right foot. No chance for Horn!

First big chance

Marseiler gets the first huge opportunity after just 30 seconds. Following a cross from the right, he's free in front of Horn on the left side of the penalty area, but his shot towards the top right corner goes narrowly over.

Let's go!

Darmstadt get the ball rolling in Bochum.

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Bochum

"We are aware of the difficulty of the task in Bochum. We have great respect for Bochum but we are confident enough to say: We have an idea of how we want to win in Bochum."

Uwe Rösler on facing Darmstadt

"We must use the spaces well, our transitional play must be spot on. Then we have a very good chance. I assume that we will play at a high tempo on Sunday. That's why we also need the substitutions. The competition for places is there."

Previous encounters

Uwe Rösler has faced Darmstadt twice before, winning both matches against the Lilies in Bundesliga 2 with Fortuna Düsseldorf in 2020/21 (3-2, 2-1).

Home fortress
