Full time: Darmstadt 0-1 Wolfsburg
The Wolves breathe a huge sigh of relief as they end their six-game losing streak away from home, grabbing a 1-0 victory in Darmstadt thanks to Majer’s fine strike from Wind’s lay-off. It is all the more remarkable that they did so with 10 men for the majority of the match following Maxence Lacroix’s sending off after 27 minutes.

Casteels... how?!
Schnellhardt shoots from distance and Casteels does well to parry his swerving effort away. It falls kindly for Pfeiffer on the rebound though and he looks certain to equalise from close range, but somehow Casteels gets to his feet to make another save at his near post!

Wolfsburg lead!
It's been coming given the recent chances for Majer and Wind, and now the Wolves are in front! Wind does superbly to hold off his marker inside the box and brilliantly cushion a cross from the left for Majer, arriving at the back post, and his emphatic finish leaves Schuhen with no chance!

So close from Wind!
The Wolfsburg forward spies Darmstadt's goalkeeper a long way off his line and tries an audacious lob from inside his own half. It's close but bounces just wide of the post.
54'
Opening for Majer!
It's the best chance of the game so far and it's for the ten men of Wolfsburg! Some slick passing in the final third opens up space for Baku to slot the ball in to Majer inside the box. He turns past Gjasula and looks certain to curl the ball into the top corner from 16 yards out, but somehow the Darmstadt defender recovers in time to stick a leg out and block!

Wolves reduced to 10 men!
Lacroix is the last defender and his touch is heavy as he receives a pass, allowing Pfeiffer to nip in and nick the ball off his toe before sprinting towards goal. The French defender tries to recover but his tackles is late, bringing Pfeiffer down as the last man. It's a straight red card.
