Overview
- Darmstadt led twice through Fraser Hornby (4') and Isac Lidberg (33'), while Bielefeld equalized via Noah Sarenren-Bazee (28') and Maximilian Großer (73').
- Hosts controlled the first half before 17,810 at a sold-out Böllenfalltor, with Matej Maglica hitting the crossbar and multiple chances going untaken.
- Lidberg was withdrawn at half-time and Hornby later departed with a thigh issue, leaving the attack noticeably blunt in the closing stages.
- Bielefeld raised their intensity after the break and earned the 2-2 when Großer’s shot deflected off Maglica; a first-half VAR handball review yielded no penalty.
- The draw makes it four league matches without a win for Darmstadt, who sit seventh on 19 points and visit Hannover next Saturday.
