Good that so many fans helped!
Darmstadt turns a 0:2 deficit against Heidenheim in six minutes and still wins 3:2. Means: leader of the table – until Werder wins again!
11,296 spectators in the Böllenfalltor Stadium. They suffer loudly. Because Darmstadt misses chances, or plays the attacks badly to the end. Heidenheim shows how it’s done. Cool weather hits the first goal opportunity straight away (17th). The fans help. And continue to suffer. Honsak forgives freely (56th). And Heidenheim’s Leipertz shoots the 2-0 (61st).
The fans whip their lilies forward, they don’t want to go home without a win for the fifth home game in a row. There were four last with only two points.
But then coach Lieberknecht unpacks his golden hands and brings three new players into play. Marvin Mehlem fits Aaron Seydel, and Darmstadt’s striker giant shoots the 1:2. It’s the ninth Joker goal of the season.
And then the knot bursts at Phillip Tietz – 2:2 after eight games without a goal from him. And Tim Skarke makes it 3:2 with the help of the guest goalkeeper!
final whistle Coach Lieberknecht sprints onto the field, grabs Captain Fabian Holland and spreads his joy to everyone.
Goal scorer Tietz: “Pure relief. Pure joy. We never give up. A big compliment to the fans because they pushed us and still believed in it themselves.”
