Full-time: Kiel 1-1 Darmstadt
As in the first half, Kiel controlled the match and had significantly more chances. Nevertheless, in the end it's only a draw. It almost looked like an even more unfortunate afternoon when the Lilies took the lead out of nowhere - at least Kiel were able to equalise quickly. With this draw, Darmstadt temporarily return to the top of the table.

From distance!
Davidsen tries from a very similar position to where Zec scored the equaliser. This time, however, Schuhen gets a touch and tips it over the crossbar!

That was close!
Vukotić is lucky there: His back pass to Schuhen is far too short, so Akiyama almost manages to intercept. But Schuhen just gets to the ball in time.

As we enter the last quarter of an hour, can either side find a winner here? In the last few minutes, neither team has really ventured out of their defensive cover.

Goalkeeper Efficiency
Goalkeeper Efficiency compares the number of saves a goalkeeper makes with his expected saves (xSaves). xSaves is calculated with the help of artificial intelligence. When a goalkeeper has a positive efficiency value, it means he has saved more shots than statistically expected.

When the strikers don't score...
The attacking players outdid each other in missing the best chances, so it was a defender who had to do it – Zec provides a deserved equaliser with Kiel's 16th shot on goal today.

Zec with the equaliser!
It's a dream goal for the Slovenian, who has his second goal of the season having also scored in the last home match against Karlsruhe.
Goal probability
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.
Shot speed
Shot speed
Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal
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.
64'
Skilled technician
Bernhardsson dribbles through from deep and looks for his teammates, but no gap opens up, so he opts to have a go himself. However, his shot lands in the arms of Schuhen.

Two substitutions
Rapp makes his first change in this match. Can Kiel find a way back into it in the second half here?

Following in Horst Neumann's footsteps
With eight goals in the first eight matchdays, Lidberg has surpassed Labbadia (who scored seven times in 1985/86). Only one other Darmstadt player has been as successful as Lidberg in this same endeavour, and that was Horst Neumann 45 years ago (1980/81).
58'
Top goalscorer
With his eighth goal in eight matches, Lidberg leads the goalscoring chart in Bundesliga 2.
58'
Lidberg's streak
The goalscorer has netted in his fifth consecutive match - a record he had never achieved before in Bundesliga 2.
57'
Booking
Schuhen waits a few seconds too long with his goal-kick and receives a yellow card for it.
57'
Lidberg with a thunderbolt
His shot clocked in at nearly 124 km/h: That ranks fourth in the list of goals with the highest shot velocity this season.
54'
Darmstadt stun the home crowd!
It's a goal for the Lilies out of nowhere! Led by Richter, the visitors combine down the left, where Lidberg receives the ball, dribbles along the edge of the penalty area and finishes powerfully from distance. It's perfectly struck and the ball nestles in the bottom right corner!

Immovable object
Schuhen is doing well to keep his clean sheet. He hasn't had to pick the ball out of the net for 5 hours now.
52'
Wasteful in front of goal
The Storks have now squandered 14 clear-cut chances this season – no other team has missed as many such opportunities.
51'
Another one-on-one!
That was nearly it! Harres loses out in the one-on-one against Schuhen.
48'
Strong start
The Lilies have set out with intent: A brilliant combination down the left ends with Richter taking a shot from a tight angle. The shot goes wide of the far post.

Peeep!
We're back underway here as the second half begins.

Half-time: Kiel 0-0 Darmstadt
Kiel are controlling the match and would have deserved a goal by now. However, since they've lacked the final bit of precision so far, the Lilies are hanging in there and, as such, it remains goalless at the break.

The Lilies again!
Lidberg lays off a long ball to Hornby in the attacking third, who fails with his shot.
45'
+ 3
Shot attempt
Bernhardsson shoots from distance with a low drive. The shot lacks both power and precision and proves no problem for Schuhen.
45'
Kiel increasing the pressure
Kapralik plays it to the right side to Harres, whose cross is then cleared.
0:30
Another huge chance!
41'
Another chance for Bernhardsson
The corner is delivered perfectly onto Bernhardsson's head, but he doesn't get enough power behind his header. No problem for Schuhen.
39'
Kiel again
The Storks work an attack patiently and win a corner in the end.
36'
Headed chance
Richter delivers a free-kick from the wing into the penalty area, where Pfeiffer rises high and aims a header towards the far corner – it goes narrowly wide.
34'
First yellow
Johansson comes in late on Lidberg.
33'
Golden chance
The Kiel player stands firm and powers his way past Klassen first and then Vukotić, until he's one-on-one with Schuhen – but then he completely mishits his finish.

Another attempt
It's Hornby with another shot, but Krumrey gets down quickly and saves it.
27'
Hornby!
Now the Lilies have themselves a longer spell in possession. Kiel initially clear the attack, but Lidberg is alert, nips in and pokes the ball to Hornby. His shot on the turn flies over the crossbar.
24'
Set-piece squandered
A free-kick from the flank offers an opportunity for the Lilies to get in front of the goal again. But the ball lands straight in the hands of Kiel's keeper.
21'
Another interruption
Another player is down on the ground: Skrzybski collided with López during the follow-up shot. However, play continues.
19'
Great stop!
Kapralik leaves Akiyama standing on the right side. His cross into the centre finds Skrzybski, who tries to head it in from six yards. But Schuhen raises his right arm and makes a brilliant save. Best chance of the match!
18'
Kiel more alert
Kiel are regaining possession much quicker after losing the ball (9.9 seconds) than the visitors from Darmstadt (15.2).

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
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).
17'
Harres!
It's a superb run from the Kiel striker, who receives the ball played through to the front. Without taking much time, he aims low towards the bottom right corner, but Schuhen is there and makes the save.
15'
Now the Lilies!
It's a first approach from the visitors: After a fine combination on the left, Klassen plays a low ball into the middle to the edge of the box, where Richter makes a run from deep, but his shot goes wide of the left post.
13'
A tale of two coaches
Rapp is running along the sideline gesticulating wildly and driving his lads on. Kohfeldt is also giving instructions loudly, though he doesn't look particularly satisfied.
10'
On top
The opening 10 minutes clearly belong to the Storks, who are hardly allowing their guests from Darmstadt to get on the ball.
9'
Bernhardsson!
Bernhardsson is served another cross. This time, he controls it and then leaves Klassen for dead with a fine piece of skill before blasting the ball over the crossbar.
7'
First chance
Kiel are controlling the game well and create the first dangerous situation. Tolkin delivers a cross which Bernhardsson tries to head back into space, but there's no one there. He could have certainly had a go himself here.
6'
Klassen called upon again
Last week he deputised for Nürnberger for the full 90 minutes. Today it will be just the 85...
5'
First change
It's a bitter one for Darmstadt and Nürnberger, who cannot continue. He twisted his ankle after a challenge. Klassen comes on for him.

Nürnberger stays down
The defender appears to have hurt himself. The medical staff are rushing over.

Offside
Before the cross can find its target, the referee blows his whistle for offside.

Early foul
Boetius impedes Zec, earning Kiel an early free-kick.
1'
And we're off!
The ball is rolling in the wet north here.
Kick-off!
Dangerous Storks
Offensively however, Kiel are no stranger to corners themselves: Marcel Rapp's side can boast generating the third-most danger from corners in the league (39 per cent better than the league average).
In the blue corner
Across the league, Darmstadt currently create the most danger from corners (62 per cent better than the league average). Today's opponent Kiel, on the other hand, ranks 17th in defending corners.
No such thing as bad weather...

More on that Darmstadt side
Florian Kohfeldt can be pleased about the return of Fabian Nürnberger (who replaces Leon Klassen), but has to do without the injured Kai Klefisch, who had not missed a single minute this season so far. His place is taken by Jean-Paul Boetius, who has only played four minutes in 2025/26 and is now allowed to start for the first time since April.
More on that Kiel side
Marcel Rapp makes two changes following the defeat in Elversberg and brings in fresh attacking options: Captain Steven Skrzybski and Phil Harres come in to the starting XI for Jonas Therkelsen and Marcus Müller.

A streak will end
Marcel Rapp has never won against Darmstadt as a head coach (two draws, two defeats), while Florian Kohfeldt has never earned points against Kiel in the dugout (two defeats in 2016/17 in the 3rd division with Werder Bremen II).

Dry spell for the Storks
Kiel last celebrated a win against Darmstadt in 2021. They beat them twice in the space of nine days that year. On 24 January 2021, they achieved a 2-0 victory at the Böllenfalltor, before prevailing at home in the DFB Cup on penalties on 2 February.
