Overview

• SV Darmstadt 98 won 2:0 at the Böllenfalltor on Friday night to open Matchday 7 and defend first place in the 2. Bundesliga.
• Isac Lidberg struck in the 37th minute for his seventh goal in seven league games before Fraser Hornby doubled the lead in the 48th.
• A careless midfield pass by Dynamo captain Niklas Hauptmann was intercepted by Marco Richter to spring Lidberg, and a quick break via Killian Corredor set up Hornby after the interval.
• Darmstadt move to 16 points from seven matches, while Dresden remain on five and may slide further depending on the weekend’s results.
• Marcel Schuhen recorded his fourth clean sheet of the season as Darmstadt’s compact, fast-transition setup again proved decisive.
