Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for 1. FC Koln to score. At the same time, Hannover 96 does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Phil Neumann has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Hannover 96 is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jessic Ngankam on 25.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' Hannover 96 seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ron-Robert Zieler made 438 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' That looks like a foul for a card for Havard Nielsen.
  • 48' Goal! Tim Lemperle scores his 21 goal in 398 matches.
  • 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Koln that had 398 games and scored 346 goals.
  • 54' Max Christiansen is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
  • 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Eric Martel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Hannover 96 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Fabian Kunze is hanging Nicolo Tresoldi on the field on 61 minute.
  • 66' The travelling Hannover 96 supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 71' Time for substitution for 1. FC Koln. Gian-Luca Waldschmidt is replaced by Florian Kainz.
  • 76' It’s gonna be a card for Florian Kainz.
  • 81' 1. FC Koln is taking the lead after the goal scored by Damion Downs on 81.
  • 82' The supporters are chanting for Monju Momuluh. He replaces Jessic Ngankam on 82 minute.
  • 85' The supporters are chanting for Andreas Voglsammer. He replaces Sei Muroya on 85 minute.
  • 86' What a strike from Florian Kainz! The score is 3-1.
  • 90' 1. FC Koln manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mark Uth is hanging Dejan Ljubicic on the field on 90 minute.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
