Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Hannover 96 kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Phil Neumann made 169 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Friedhelm Funkel might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 25' Sebastian Ernst has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' Hannover 96 is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Stefan Leitl will be considering his options from the bench.
- 40' Hannover 96 player sees a card in front of him.
- 44' 1. FC Kaiserslautern receives a card for a hard tackle on 44.
- 49' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 53' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Kenny Prince Redondo makes it 0-1.
- 58' 1. FC Kaiserslautern have won 159 goals from 273 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 61' The crowd applauds Fabian Kunze as he leaves the pitch. Louis Schaub steps in for Hannover 96.
- 62' Filip Stojilkovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ragnar Ache on 62 minute.
- 66' That looks like a foul for a card for Jannik Dehm.
- 68' Andreas Voglsammer adds to his 0 season tally! Hannover 96 lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
- 73' Hannover 96 are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 77' The 1. FC Kaiserslautern manager makes a substitution. Kenny Prince Redondo departs to be replaced by Aaron Opoku.
- 82' 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 Nicolo Tresoldi suffering a number of foals already.
- 84' Another substitution for Hannover 96 to replace Sebastian Ernst by Cedric Teuchert on 84 minute.
- 89' Hannover 96 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 89.
- 90' It’s a booking for Hannover 96 player. Cedric Teuchert gets a card.
- 90' 1. FC Kaiserslautern manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Afeez Aremu is hanging Daniel Hanslik on the field on 90 minute.
- It finishes all square. Hannover 96 and 1. FC Kaiserslautern share the spoils 1-1.
