Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Heinz von Heiden Arena!
- 4' Marcel Halstenberg doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 9' Markus Schubert has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 14' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Paderborn 07 that had 316 games and scored 227 goals.
- 19' Over 19 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 24' Jannik Rochelt is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Paderborn 07 tonight.
- 29' Raphael Obermair is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SC Paderborn 07 so far.
- 34' It looks surprising Hannover 96 does not make any changes. Boris Tomiak has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 39' It is a cagey affair so far. Hannover 96 in their 4-2-2-2 trying to find a way past SC Paderborn 07's compact 3-4-1-2.
- 44' Casper Terho has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 212 appearances.
- 46' Bartlomiej Wdowik is ready to make an impact after coming on for Lars Gindorf at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' 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 Enzo Leopold suffering a number of foals already.
- 54' Boris Tomiak is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
- 58' The referee calls foul for Andre Breitenreiter. He receives a card.
- 63' A change in the Hannover 96 ranks — Jessic Ngankam exits the field as Rabbi Matondo enters on 63.
- 67' The SC Paderborn 07 bench stirs into life. Casper Terho is withdrawn and Adriano Grimaldi gets his opportunity.
- 72' The referee has no hesitation. Jannik Dehm is booked for Hannover 96 — card on 72.
- 77' Another substitution for Hannover 96 to replace Jannik Rochelt by Husseyn Chakroun on 77 minute.
- 80' Mattes Hansen is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tjark Scheller at the 80 minute mark.
- 85' SC Paderborn 07 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.
- 89' The Hannover 96 bench stirs into life. Enzo Leopold is withdrawn and Josh Knight gets his opportunity.
- 90' Adriano Grimaldi makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and SC Paderborn 07 are in front.
- 90' Hannover 96 player sees a card in front of him.
- 90' The SC Paderborn 07 bench stirs into life. Marvin Mehlem is withdrawn and Luca Herrmann gets his opportunity.
- 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
