Ulm takes a point against Darmstadt. The dominant Lilies simply couldn't break through against the strongly defending Sparrows. In the first half, Keller immediately responded to Hornby's opening goal.

Too sloppy
Ulm's attacking play continues to lack precision in their passing. Again, a cross from Chessa fails to reach its intended target.
63'
Another booking
Chessa brings down Nürnberger, failing to make contact with the ball and rightly sees yellow as well.
61'
Vukotić doesn't let up
Vukotić receives a yellow card after several warnings, as the defender was constantly grappling with Kolbe during a free kick.
58'
Kai Klefisch particularly strong today
Kai Klefisch has successfully managed to get out of 90% of his pressured situations today. 90% of his passes under pressure have reached his teammates.

The middle is congested...
...but the Lilies are becoming more active down the flanks now.

Headed attempt
López crosses from the right, but in the middle, Hornby's header goes wide of the left post.

We're back underway!
The second half is in progress, and there's a substitution for the visitors: goalscorer Aaron Keller makes way for Krattenmacher.

Half-time: Darmstadt 1-1 Ulm

Little relief
Whenever Ulm manage to win the ball, they quickly lose it again in the transition.

Another attempt on goal
Corredor sees Thiede off his line, has some space on the left-hand side and tries to beat him with a looping effort - but the Ulm keeper manages to tip the ball over the bar.
34'
Few goal-scoring opportunities
Neither team is managing to get into the final third at the moment. Darmstadt keeps circulating the ball among their defenders.

24'
Darmstadt moving it well
The home side have regained control of the match in the last few minutes, with play settling down again after the two goals.
21'
That was quick
Only one minute separated the two goals. The first two shots on target in this match went straight in!
19'
Ulm respond!
That's a lightning-quick reaction! Chessa delivers the ball with precision from the right to the near post, Keller makes a run, keeps his head up and nods it in on the left.
16'
Darmstadt take the lead!
The Lilies punish a loss of possession in the visitors' build-up play and quickly get the ball to Hornby, who creates space for himself on the right and places the ball perfectly into the bottom left corner with a precise shot.

Dangerous ball for Ulm
Chessa sets up Higl on the right, who immediately plays it across. Keller comes running in the middle, but can't reach the ball.
7'
High pressing
The visitors are applying pressure and preventing the Lilies from building up Sergio López loses the ball and can just about stop Chessa on his way to goal.

Darmstadt in possession
The Lilies are passing the ball around in their own ranks during the opening minutes, while Ulm are closing down the midfield.

Kick-off!
Lilies with significantly more second-tier experience
Darmstadt's starting lineup has a clear advantage in terms of second-tier experience, with 569 second-tier matches and 40 second-tier goals compared to Ulm's 114 second-tier matches and six second-tier goals.
Long time coming
Jonathan Meier is in the starting eleven for the first time in the 2. Bundesliga since September 2021 (then for Hansa Rostock); this season he has only been used four times as a substitute for Ulm. Aaron Keller is playing for the first time since matchday 3, after which he missed four matches due to illness and sat on the Ulm bench for the last two matchdays.
Three changes for the Sparrows
Ulm coach Thomas Wörle makes three changes to his starting lineup compared to the last match (0-1 home defeat against Karlsruhe). Meier, Brandt and Keller start instead of Krattenmacher, Maier (both on the bench) and Stoll (not in the squad).
Darmstadt unchanged
Lilies manager Florian Kohfeldt sends out the same starting eleven that began the 5-1 home victory against Cologne on the last matchday.
Ulm starting XI
Thiede - Geyer, Strompf, Kolbe - Meier, Hyryläinen, Brandt, Rösch - Chessa, Keller - Higl
Darmstadt starting XI
Schuhen - López, Riedel, Vukotić, Nürnberger - Klefisch, Müller - Förster, Corredor - Lidberg, Hornby

What Thomas Wörle says
"We're looking forward to playing away against a team relegated from the Bundesliga. We'll have fantastic support from our fans, and we'll try first and foremost to deliver the same performance on the pitch as we did recently, which will give us the chance to score points."
