Darmstadt 2–1 Mainz


Darmstadt 2–1 Mainz

(Sulu 5’, Sam pen 12’ – Quaison 45’)

Darmstadt held on for a big three points against Mainz.


Darmstadt picked up three points for only the fourth time this season to move to within three points of 17th-placed Ingolstadt.

The home side started brilliantly and were two up inside 12 minutes. The first came courtesy of Aytac Sulu’s header from Mario Vrancic’s corner, and Sidney Sam added another from the penalty spot after Jerome Gondorf was tripped.

Mainz got themselves back into the game just before half time through Robin Quaison, who bundled the ball in from close range after Pablo De Blasis’ header was saved.

Both teams ended the game with ten men. First Darmstadt’s Vrancic received a second yellow for a studs up challenge on Quaison, then Stefan Bell received his marching orders for a second booking in the final moments of the game.
