MATCH REPORT: Patrick Hinrichsen/SV Darmstadt 98 II/Verbansliga Group Süd(South), Germany(6th Tier)

Feb 26 2012  Spvgg.Neu-Isenburg  2-1  SV Darmstadt 98 II

Patrick Hinrichsen and SV Darmstadt 98 II is back after an almost 3 month winter break and they start out 2012 with a loss! Darmstadt who visited Spvgg.Neu-Isenburg, a number 3 ranked Verbansliga South powerhouse, lost a closely contested match.

Patrick's Darmstadt II managed to blank the home team for almost the whole first half until a slight slip up allowed Neu-Isenburg to score at the 45th minute. All in all a good first half for the visiting underdog, SV Darmstadt 98 II.

The second half started spectacularly as the visitors attacked the opponents goal. Perseverance paid off early as they managed to score and tie the game 1 to 1 at the 47th minute. Darmstadt would play the home team tight as they manage to blunt all attacks to its goal UNTIL, almost like the first half, Darmstadts slight slip allowed Neu-Isenburg to sneak in a goal. 2-1 at the 90th minute, and a heartbreaking defeat for the visiting Darmstadt who played so well.

Patrick Hinrichsen was a barely used substitute last year, in this game he went in at the 90th minute to play a further few minutes of injury time. Hopefully he gets more regular playing time for the team this season.

SV Darmstadt 98 II started the season as one of the top teams in this Verbansliga, they have slipped of late, they are now in 5th place.

Next fixture: Mar 3 2012 a home game against Spfr. Seligenstadt, currently in 13th place.
