Skarke for 3-3!

A fine equaliser for Darmstadt, although Ozan Kabak won’t want to see it again: Luca Pfieffer picks up possession after a poor pass from the defender and slips in Skarke, who makes no mistake.

Darmstadt equalise!

This is a lovely, lovely goal! Some neat, one-touch build-up from the visitors to get into the penalty area and Bartol Franjić squares it into the middle for Pfeiffer, who beats his marker to the ball to poke in from 10 yards out.

Matarazzo's view on Darmstadt

"If anyone thinks you can beat this opponent with a bit of possession, they are wrong. Darmstadt are one of the strongest teams in the bottom third of the table - we will need to put in a shift."

"Hoffenheim are seventh in the table. They've got a top-quality squad and play at a high level. Obviously, they'll try to win at home. Every team wants to give their fans a win just before Christmas. Overall, we're going up against a good team and we'll need to throw everything we've got at them."
