Almost Darmstadt
Unbelievable! The visitors had the ball in the net after Michael Zetterer's gift to Skarke, who chased down a long ball and then bundled home. Yet Skarke was adjudged to have handled and the goal will not stand.

Darmstadt denied
Skarke tapped into the empty Werder net before wheeling away with his arms raised. However, just as the dust settled on Darmstadt's celebrations, a check on the goal revealed the visiting forward was an inch offside. It remains 1-1.

Half-time: Werder 1-1 Darmstadt
The visitors suffered a nightmare start here, going behind inside the opening ten minutes when Christoph Zimmermann put through his own net to gift Werder the lead. Yet Torsten Lieberknecht's stuck to their task and they deservedly go in level at the break thanks to Julian Justvan's deflected strike.

Visitors level
The Bundesliga's basement side are on terms at the Weserstadion and it's Julian Justvan with the all-important goal, his long-range effort taking the slightest of deflections as it goes under Michael Zetterer. Stunned silence greets the goal.

Penalty chalked off
Werder are originally awarded a penalty after Marvin Ducksch went down in the area under an apparent challenge from Marcel Schuhen in the Darmstadt goal. After a review, the referee decides there was no contact and the decision is reversed, with Ducksh receiving a yellow card.

Disaster for Darmstadt
Romano Schmid's super centre from the right is aimed at Justin Njinmah but Christoph Zimmermann slides in and does the Werder attacker's job for him, sending the ball past Marcel Schuhen in the Darmstadt goal.

The Darmstadt slide
Since Darmstadt beat Werder on Matchday 6, they have won just once. That victory came on Matchday 7, meaning they are now 15 top-flight games without a win and rooted to the bottom of the table as a result.
