The Kielers had more play, but were not effective enough at the front.
The dreaded Darmstadt offensive held back for a surprisingly long time.
It was only in the last minutes of the first half that coach Torsten Lieberknecht's team became more courageous - and was successful: number one goal scorer Phillip Titz hung up, number two goalscorer Lucas Pfeiffer completed his eighth goal of the season.
