Bundesliga Re-cap: Darmstadt claim derby win, Stuttgart held by Bremen

Eintracht Frankfurt's poor Bundesliga form continued
as they slumped to a 1-0 home defeat to Darmstadt in
the Hessen Derby.

Aytac Sulu's first-half goal was enough to give Darmstadt the
bragging rights over Eintracht Frankfurt as they claimed a 1-0
Bundesliga win in the first Hessen Derby meeting since 1982.

The centre-half headed home from Tobias Kempe's free-kick
after 30 minutes to put the visitors on their way to a first win in
six league fixtures and a fourth victory of
the Bundesliga campaign.

Despite a lengthy amount of stoppage time - added on due to
the home support burning several Darmstadt flags at one end of
the ground - Frankfurt, who have won just one of their last 11
Bundesliga matches, could not salvage a point from what is
just the fifth competitive meeting between the two sides.

Earlier, Werder Bremen came from a goal behind to claim a 1-1
draw at Stuttgart to climb out of the relegation play-off position.

Lukas Rupp's strike shortly after the half-hour mark put Jurgen
Kramny's side in front in his first home game as Stuttgart's
interim manager, but Anthony Ujah's seventh goal of the
campaign earned Bremen a share of the spoils 19 minutes from
time.
