Hosts grab a consolation
Seydel swipes home a brilliant goal from distance with a rising shot that nipped the post before caressing the net. Surely this one is done, though? Or is it?

Cool-hands Bredlow
Fabian Bredlow makes two saves in quick succession to deny Darmstadt and keep ten-man Stuttgart in front. The visiting shot stopper parried Justvan's strike first and then got across to prevent Pfeiffer scoring from close range.

Half-time: Darmstadt 0-1 Stuttgart
The Bundesliga's third-placed side are a goal up but a man down at half-time. Serhou Guirassy celebrated his return to the VfB starting line-up with a close-range finish that brought his goals tally to 18 for the campaign. Pascal Stenzel's second booking will give the hosts hope in the second half, however.

Lucky Anton
Waldemar Anton almost scores what would have been a comedy own goal. Stuttgart's captain swiped at a Darmstadt through ball on the edge of the area and looked on in horror as the ball fizzed inches past the post.

Darmstadt denied
The referee is called to take a look at a possible handball after Mehlem had slammed a super finish high into the net. After a brief look at the monitor, today's match official decides to rule that one out.

Lieberknecht on Stuttgart's Deniz Undav
"Deniz made his professional debut under me at Braunschweig, but only really played for the reserves at Eintracht and scored goals. Deniz has an eye for goal. He's currently on track to become a Germany international. We hope he does. He's also developed really well because he's always believed in himself."
