It's getting wild
El Idrissi commits a foul on Jóhannesson as the last man in midfield. Referee Kampka initially shows a yellow card, but takes another look at it.

Half-time: Darmstadt 0-0 Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf largely controlled the game and were sharper at the start. Darmstadt only got involved after 30 minutes, but then had the better chances. A half-time score of 0-0 is a fair one.

Dusseldorf seeking redemption?
After being agonisingly close to promotion to the Bundesliga last season Dusseldorf missed out in spectacular fashion, surrendering a 3-0 lead from the first leg of the playoff to Bochum in the return game. Such a result will surely motivate the players to finish the job this year, and they start their mission away to the recently relegated Darmstadt.
