⚽️🇩🇪 SV Darmstadt 98 pulled off a gutsy 1-0 victory over SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the 2. Bundesliga, alleviating the pressure that had been mounting for the struggling team. Isac Lidberg scored the match-winner in the 79th minute, securing a massive three points for Darmstadt and keeping them seven points above the relegation zone.
Coach Florian Kohfeldt, the experienced tactician, shared his relief after the final whistle, "Today was a considerable nail-biter for us, a critical game to keep us afloat in the table. This was an all-important home win that lifts our spirits." However, he cautioned, "We're not out of the woods just yet. We still need a few more points to secure our spot."
The game's hero, Lidberg, who netted after an exquisite pass from substitute Jean-Paul Boëtius, acknowledged the team's ongoing struggle, "We're not popping the champagne corks just yet. There are still six matches remaining with 18 points up for grabs." However, the ebullient Swede also hinted at his confidence in the team's ability to snatch safety, "With the quality we've got, I feel we've got this in the bag."
The match was anything but a ballet of football, but the vociferous 16,820 supporters at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor didn't mind the rough-and-tumble action. "We could have used a bit of luck after the string of poor results we've had lately," confessed team captain Clemens Riedel.
Kohfeldt agreed with Riedel, "Such wins are the bread and butter of our season. We've served up plenty of entertainment, but this victory might turn out to be more crucial than our 5-1 romps."
Positive vibes notwithstanding, Darmstadt must strengthen their performance in the upcoming games. The team's next challenge is a trip to Hertha BSC on Saturday (13:00 CET, live on Sky), where they aim to pick up their first away point of the season following five consecutive defeats.
