FINAL

Full-time: Darmstadt 1-1 Magdeburg

Darmstadt take a deserved point against Magdeburg. After a very passive first half, they started the second very well. After that, however, Magdeburg became more dominant again. The game then evened out and it ends in a draw.

Too late

Weißhaupt puts on the afterburners down the left. Michel can't quite keep up and tries to clear with a sliding tackle. However, he takes down the Darmstadt player and gets a yellow.

Just wide

70'

A more defensive substitution?

Chávez, nominally a midfielder, comes on for the striker Šimić.

Lively Atik

The Magdeburg player isn't just active going forward, he's also doing his job defensively.
66'

Yellow card

Darmstadt break quickly through substitute Lee. The striker knocks the ball past MacNulty, but then trips over the defender's leg.
66'

Over the bar

Atik tries his luck first time. He doesn't get the ball on target, though.
65'

Into the book

Atik picks up speed towards the Darmstadt penalty area. Richter can't get to the ball and catches the man. A card for a free-kick 25 metres out a central position.

No way through

Magdeburg are on the front foot now, but Iyoha can't get into the danger zone.

Magdeburg in possession again

The visitors now take the ball back and look to work their way forward. However, Nollenberger and Bockhorn overcomplicated things.
54'

Improved performance

In the first half, Darmstadt were very passive. They have since become more aggressive in the tackle and are posing Magdeburg bigger problems.

Shot and a shout

Lakenmacheris found in the middle. He turns on the spot and shoots but was pulled back as he did so. However, even after a VAR check, there is no penalty.

Why not, Noah

Weißhaupt cuts in from the wing and has a go. Reimann is able to save the shot at his near post.

We're back under way

Magdeburg have made one substitution as Nadjombe, who was on a booking, makes way.
Kick-off!

Half-time: Darmstadt 1-1 Magdeburg

It's all square at the break. That looked unlikely for a long time. Darmstadt did have the first big chance, but Magdeburg then struck first from a corner. After that, the Lilies sat back, but Magdeburg did nothing with their dominance. The hosts then came back unexpectedly through Smit as things opened up again in the final 15 minutes before the break.

Surprised

Richter takes a corner quickly to Mikelbrencis, who shoots first time but misses the goal by some distance.

+ 3

Tactical

Weißhaupt sprints towards the Magdeburg goal on a counter-attack. Nadjombe drags the Darmstadt player to the ground and is cautioned.
45'
+ 2

Getting heated

Atik goes down in the box and wants a penalty. It isn't given and Petretta and Šimić then clash. Both are rightly booked.
45'

On hand

Atik has a go with his free-kick 30 metres out in a central position. Schuhen is alert, though, and repels the shot down.
41'

Things change quickly

Magdeburg looked comfortable with their lead and not too eager to push for a second. Now they've paid the price, with Darmstadt needing only one good attack to equalise.
38'

Darmstadt go again

The Lilies come forward again. This time Mikelbrencis is unmarked but heads the ball well over the bar.

Darmstadt level!

The Lilies attack down the right. Richter crosses low into the middle, where Smit gets across his marker and backheels the ball into the net. It's a lovely finish but somewhat out of nowhere for the hosts.

A rare corner

The Lilies are daring to venture forward again. Richter's cross is cleared by MacNulty for a corner.
29'

Thumbs up

Schuhen signals that he can carry on. Could Darmstadt reorganise and press a little higher up the pitch again?
28'

Receiving treatment

The Darmstadt keeper is currently sitting on the ground and calls for the medics.
24'

Everything under control

Magdeburg are passing the ball around confidently in their own ranks. With a lead behind them, they don't need to apply much pressure at the moment.
16'

Atik again

The Magdeburg man is once again the liveliest player on the pitch. This time his long-range effort only hits the side netting.

Magdeburg lead!

It was Müller's blocked shot that won the corner, but he makes no mistake this time. Atik's low delivery from the right comes into the near post. It surprises Schuhen, who can only knock the ball into the middle, where Müller is fastest to react and knock the ball over the line.

Double chance!

Smits lets a pass from Lakenmacher run through into the box and the path of Richter. He turns onto his right foot but can only strike the base of the left post. The ball then bounces to Weißhaupt, who beats Reimann with a curling effort, but Nollenberger rushes back onto the line and clears the shot with his head.
7'

Clear strategy

Darmstadt are defensively solid and then want to get forward quickly. This time it goes down the left through Smits, but his cross goes wrong and ends up out for a goal-kick.
5'

Darmstadt's turn

Now the hosts also venture forward for the first time and win a free-kick from a wide central position. However, Richter's delivery is cleared.

Plenty of control

The visitors are having almost exclusive possession in the opening minutes. Nadjombe looks to go forward for once and tries to win a corner off Petretta. The Darmstadt player manages to clear it for a throw-in, though.

Cup heroes rotated out

Darmstadt have five changes compared to their midweek DFB Cup success at Elversberg, meaning half of the outfield players have been replaced. Coming in are William Mikelbrencis, Hiroki Akiyama, Noah Weißhaupt (pictured), Fynn-Luca Lakenmacher and Marco Richter.

First start

Šimić is handed his first-ever start for Magdeburg in a competitive fixture.

No Żukowski

Magdeburg make two changes from their big win over Karlsruhe last week, with Falko Michel and Roko Šimić starting in place of Felipe Chávez and Mateusz Żukowski (pictured). The Polish striker, who has nine competitive goals this season, isn't even in the squad. It's the first time this season that Magdeburg have been without him.

Unchanged Lilies

Darmstadt begin with the same team from last weekend's match against St. Pauli.

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Magdeburg

"Magdeburg will press us very high and defend man-to-man. They're very flexible when they have the ball, overloading the wings, switching play and making runs in behind. They also have exceptional players for this league, including Żukowski, Atik and Nollenberger, who I thought looked good against Bayern."

Petrik Sander on facing Darmstadt

"Darmstadt want to carry the momentum over from the cup. They have quality in their ranks and are better than their current league position suggests. We have to be careful."

Cup journey comes to an end

Magdeburg were well beaten in the DFB Cup second round by Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, who ran out 6-1 winners at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

Darmstadt stun Elversberg

The Lilies put their league woes behind them with a magnificent 2-0 victory over Bundesliga club Elversberg in the DFB Cup, with Lars Kehl and Milan Smit securing their place in the last 16.

Tietz's promotion party

Darmstadt's last win against Magdeburg earned them promotion to the Bundesliga. Phillip Tietz scored the only goal on Matchday 33 of the 2022/23 season, securing their place back in the top flight with room to spare.

Magdeburg run

Magdeburg lost their first six competitive matches against Darmstadt but are unbeaten in the last four meetings, picking up eight points in that time.

Visitors Magdeburg smashed six goals past Karlsruhe to move into fifth, level on points with fourth-placed Wolfsburg.
