In the first four rounds, Darmstadt only had 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, during which they also lost to Munich 1860 in the first round of the German Cup. At the beginning of such a result, the head coach was under great pressure, after all, he officially took over the team in the summer.
In the Bundesliga, there are many established teams that we are familiar with, such as Hamburg and Schalke 04. Hanover 96 and the top of the list before tonight Werder Bremen. Bremen, as the 4th champion of the Bundesliga, had not achieved good results before, but after they changed coaches, they successfully rushed to the top of the Bundesliga by relying on a wave of 9 wins and 1 draw.

In the early hours of the morning, relying on the advantage of one game in the first game, Darmstadt took the top of the league.
In the early morning match against Heidenheim, Darmstadt played quite hard. In the 17th minute of the first half, Darmstadt was already behind his opponents 1-0. Just back in the second half, the away team Heidenheim extended their advantage to two goals. Watching the minutes and seconds pass, Darmstadt did not panic, they strictly implemented the tactics formulated by the head coach, and successfully staged a good turnaround.
Starting in the 77th minute of the match, Darmstadt began his own Jedi counterattack, with Seder, Titus and Skaker scoring in turn to help Darmstadt, who played at home, rewrite the score 3-2 in 6 minutes. It was this incredible series of goals that eventually Darmstadt won a valuable 3 points and managed to top the league table. At the end of this month, Darmstadt will play Bremen directly, which may be an important contest to determine the bundesliga title this season.
