Holstein Kiel – SV Darmstadt 98

In a tightly contested clash at the Holstein-Stadion, the hosts Holstein Kiel managed to hold their ground against a resilient SV Darmstadt 98, leaving both clubs still perched on four points. The match saw Kiel’s defence, which has already conceded ten goals, limit Darmstadt’s attack—who have been porous with thirteen goals against—to a modest tally, preserving the German second‑division stalemate at the bottom. With Kiel remaining 16th and Darmstadt slipping to 18th, the result leaves the relegation battle wide open as the two sides head into their next fixtures still hunting their first win of the campaign.
