Eintracht Braunschweig loses against Darmstadt after Rotsünder Köhler. A look back at the chaotic game on September 14th, 2025.
Braunschweig suffers another disaster: Köhler sees red in Darmstadt!
On September 14, 2025 there was an exciting encounter between Eintracht Braunschweig and Darmstadt, which strained the Lions' fans' nerves. Braunschweig started strong and took the lead in the 22nd minute with a goal from Mehmet Aydin. In this phase of the game, the newcomer from Lower Saxony seemed to have everything under control and dominated the action on the pitch.
But the joy didn't last long: Isac Lidberg scored for Darmstadt in the 63rd minute and brought the guests back into the game. This equalizer was the turning point that completely turned the balance of power on the pitch upside down. Braunschweig appeared shocked and missed several opportunities while the Darmstadt team gained momentum.
Defensive captain
The situation escalated in the 85th minute when captain Sven Köhler was shown a red card after pulling Lidberg's jersey. This was the third red card for Braunschweig in their three away games - an alarming result for the team that is currently fighting for its place in the league.
After this sending off, the decisive 2-1 for Darmstadt came shortly afterwards, scored by Matej Maglica with a free kick. Braunschweig will now have to do without the important player Köhler in the next game, which won't exactly improve the mood in the team.
History and rivalries
Eintracht Braunschweig, founded in 1895 and known for its traditional colors of blue and yellow, has experienced both ups and downs in the past. The club was one of the founding members of the Bundesliga and enjoyed great success in the 1960s, including the championship in 1967. But since relegation in 1985, they have had to repeatedly switch between the second and third divisions, which brought a lot of emotions for their loyal supporters.
The club has an impressive fan base and home games take place at the Eintracht Stadium, which has been in use since 1923 and can accommodate over 24,400 spectators. The biggest rivalry is with Hannover 96 when it comes to the Lower Saxony derby - a game that is always peaceful but passionate.
However, recent events and developments in recent years show a dark side: Overall, since cards were introduced in German football, many players have been sent off, with the red card being seen as a drastic measure that can often have a decisive impact on the dynamics of a game. Sports buzzer points out that to date more than 2,000 dismissals have been recorded in the Bundesliga, which underlines the importance of discipline on the field.
Now it remains to be seen how Eintracht will do against the coming challenges and whether they will manage to continue scoring goals in the league and maintaining discipline. Current form and injuries could be decisive here.
