Hoffenheim came into the second half with great purpose, as Andrej Kramaric found the bottom corner from 25 yards just 34 seconds after the restart. With the deadlock broken, the match became an intense affair with both teams battling for supremacy. Darmstadt continued to look the likelier to score with first Colak, and then Florian Jungwirth, spurning chances to level the scores. However, substitute Denys Oliinyk made no such mistake as he scored a dramatic late equaliser, tapping home at the back post with less than a minute left to play.
