Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Hannover 96 gets underway.
- 1' The deadlock is broken! Fraser Hornby gets on the scoresheet on 1 minutes.
- 6' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 11' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Hannover 96 winning 100% of all matches.
- 16' The 28-year-old Fabian Kunze has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 21' 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.
- 25' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Sei Muroya on 25 minutes.
- 30' Phil Neumann has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 35' 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 Havard Nielsen suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' Clemens Riedel is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SV Darmstadt 98 tonight.
- 45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 46' Another substitution for Hannover 96 to replace Nicolo Tresoldi by Andreas Voglsammer on 46 minute.
- 51' The referee calls foul for Fabian Kunze. He receives a card.
- 55' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Marcel Halstenberg.
- 58' SV Darmstadt 98 ring the changes. Jean-Paul Boetius has done his job and it is now time for Matondo-Merveille Papela to step up.
- 62' The supporters are chanting for Jannik Rochelt. He replaces Kolja Oudenne on 62 minute.
- 65' That is a card for SV Darmstadt 98. Matondo-Merveille Papela will be fuming at that decision.
- 67' SV Darmstadt 98 player sees a card in front of him.
- 72' Hannover 96 looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Lars Gindorf scoring 1 goals.
- 76' SV Darmstadt 98 make a change. Fabian Nurnberger trudges off to be replaced by Luca Marseiler on 76 minutes.
- 81' SV Darmstadt 98 currently sit 13 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 82' Magnificent from Andreas Voglsammer! That is 21 goals in 262 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 83' Magnificent from Kilian Corredor! That is 23 goals in 253 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 86' The Hannover 96 bench stirs into life. Bartlomiej Wdowik is withdrawn and Josh Knight gets his opportunity.
- 90' Ron-Robert Zieler picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Hannover 96 will have plenty to reflect on. SV Darmstadt 98 were simply the better side today.
