Darmstadt (dpa) - SV Darmstadt 98 conceded the second defeat in the second game in 2021.
One week after the 0: 1 at VfL Bochum, the lilies lost 1: 2 (0: 1) in the 2nd Bundesliga Hannover 96 on Sunday.
This means that the team of coach Markus Anfang is still in the deep midfield of the table.
In the meantime, Hannover continued to catch up.
The team of head coach Kenan Kocak had to tremble, but in the end the two goals by Marvin Ducksch from a free kick (45th minute) and after a mistake by Bayern loaner Lars Lukas Mai (50th) were enough.
Aaron Seydel scored with a dust for the home side (68.).
After three victories in the championship and the cup, the Hessen suffered another setback at the end of the year.
The guests achieved their first success against the lilies in the second division since the 5-0 win at home in 1992.
In contrast to the 26-year-old Duksch, Serdar Dursun could hardly put himself in the limelight at Darmstadt and missed a top-class chance (37th).
The striker, trained in the 96 youth, is considered to be Kocak's preferred candidate, but the South Hesse recently put a stop to a change.

Darmstadt increased the pressure in the second round.
First, Felix Platte failed because of the former Darmstadt goalkeeper Michael Esser (64th), then Seydel hit the next goal.
Esser saved his team victory in the 80th minute with a sharp shot from Fabian Schnellhardt.
