Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Hannover 96 is hosting FC Schalke 04 for another epic battle.
- 2' Poor challenge from Andreas Voglsammer. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 7' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Hannover 96 needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 12' 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.
- 17' What a moment for Assan Ouedraogo! That strike on 17 puts his side firmly in control.
- 22' FC Schalke 04 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.
- 27' 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 Blendi Idrizi suffering a number of foals already.
- 32' The energy levels are beginning to show. Karel Geraerts might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 37' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 40' A change in the Hannover 96 ranks — Andreas Voglsammer exits the field as Cedric Teuchert enters on 40.
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hannover 96 and FC Schalke 04 are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 50' Havard Nielsen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 7 cards already picked up this season.
- 54' A meaty challenge results in booking for Bright Arrey-Mbi on 54.
- 58' Paul Seguin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 58.
- 63' Louis Schaub gets the nod from Hannover 96. He replaces Max Christiansen and will look to change the dynamic.
- 64' Fresh legs for FC Schalke 04! Yusuf Kabadayi comes on to replace Assan Ouedraogo.
- 69' Marius Muller has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 74' Hannover 96 is showing some good football. However, Hannover 96 are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 77' Lars Gindorf is replacing Sebastian Ernst for the Hannover 96 side.
- 81' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Paul Seguin makes it 0-2.
- 84' The whistle greets Thomas Ouwejan as he departs to be replaced by Blendi Idrizi.
- 89' FC Schalke 04 fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 90' That is a card for Hannover 96. Cedric Teuchert will be fuming at that decision.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
