Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Hannover 96 and 1. FC Koln is underway.
  • 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' 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 Jan Thielmann suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Florian Kainz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' 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.
  • 23' A meaty challenge results in booking for Leart Paqarada on 23.
  • 28' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

  • 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hannover 96 that had 291 games and scored 159 goals.
  • 48' That looks like a foul for a card for Phil Neumann.
  • 50' A meaty challenge results in booking for Leart Paqarada on 50.
  • 53' 1. FC Koln manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Max Finkgrafe is hanging Gian-Luca Waldschmidt on the field on 53 minute.
