Town show guts
Made one superb stop from a close-range header at a first-half corner. Could perhaps have parried the ball away instead of into the danger area for Darmstadt’s goal .......................................... 6 A few let-offs in the second half when he nearly got caught on the ball and cost Huddersfield a goal ...................................... 5 A solid performance overall and read the game really well but will be disappointed with the start of the second half when the defence was at sixes and sevens ............... 6 Had a superb opportunity early on when he got into the box but chose to cross instead of shoot. Got up and down the left side well but a lazy clearance which was charged down almost let the hosts in midway though the second half ................. 7 Showed some great skill on the ball in the midfield, following up is eye catching showing at the Interwetten Cup on Saturday. Tired in the second half though and made way for Mooy ............................... 7 Got around the pitch well and produced some superb passes to help spread play. Produced lovely turns to get away from opponents as well as great strength ........ 8 A lively debut for the former Monaco man, playing primarily down Town’s right but also coming onto the left at times. Showed good pace and skill and had one chance but saw his cross easily claimed by the goalkeeper. Replaced just after the hour mark by Ramadan ............................... 6 Lively performance by the creative midfielder who always made himself available in attacks. Got in some good positions late on as Town pressed for a winner .............................................................. 8 Took his goal well from close range. Almost grabbed a second in as many minutes with another header but his effort was well saved by the goalkeeper, down to his left ............................................... 7 Mooy: Composed in midfield and at the heart of the play. Tidy in his passing and had one effort - a shot from about 20 yards which he dragged wide ..................... 7 Williams: Filled in at left back for last 15 minutes and provided cross for the goal..6 Ramadan: A rather quiet game but still learning about his new teammates no doubt ............................................................... 5 STRIKER Steve Mounie rescued a draw for Huddersfield Town as they played out a 1-1 draw with SV Darmstadt yesterday afternoon.
The Terriers looked to be heading for their third loss of the weekend but showed great character to come from behind late on.
Mounie netted in the 80th minute - heading home a Jordan Williams cross – to ensure it was not a third straight loss of the weekend for the visitors.
It means Town end their Germany tour having drawn one and lost two games.
Left-back Scott Malone could have opened the scoring on just 11 minutes when he broke into the penalty area but instead of shooting, he opted to cross the ball into the box. That allowed Darmstadt to track back and the ball went out for a corner.

That allowed Darmstadt to track back and the ball went out for a corner.
Malone and Diakhaby were both proving threats down the flanks as Town stamped their authority on the game early on.
The Terriers passed the ball around well but were unable to find the pass in the final third they required.
It was end to end stuff at the start of the second half though and it took the hosts less than two minutes to get on the scoresheet when Yannick Starck fired home from close range.
Town almost levelled through an Alex Pritchard free-kick from the edge of the area but his effort went narrowly wide.
It was end-to-end stuff for a period as both sides opened up. Damrstadt saw a header crash off the woodwork while the visitors began to find spots in the hosts’ defence.
Boss David Wagner threw on Aaron Mooy and Ramadan Sobhi to freshen things up and the goal came following some good work down the left.
Williams picked out Mounie who had pulled clear of his marker and headed into an empty net.
The visitors had the better of the final 10 minutes but were unable to find a way through and both sides had to be content with a share of the spoils.
