- 28' Willi Orban has been relatively quiet despite scoring 30 goals in his last 513 appearances.
- 33' 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.
- 38' Waldemar Anton is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Hannover 96 so far.

- 75' Konrad Laimer was booked on 75.
- 80' 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 Jonathas suffering a number of foals already.
