Events

Match Events

  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' The travelling Hannover 96 supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 14' GOAL! Maurice Neubauer scores on 14. Assisted by Benedikt Pichler
  • 19' SV Darmstadt 98 is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Hannover 96 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Benjamin Kallman is hanging Benedikt Pichler on the field on 20 minute.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matondo-Merveille Papela made 436 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' It’s high time Christian Titz made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 38' Christian Titz was booked on 38.
  • 43' 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 Benedikt Pichler suffering a number of foals already.
  • 48' It looks like no one’s ball. SV Darmstadt 98 is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 53' 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.
  • 55' Virgil Ghita is replacing Maik Nawrocki for the Hannover 96 side.
  • 56' Goal! Stefan Teitur Thordarson scores his 5 goal in 2 matches.
  • 57' That looks like a foul for a card for Florian Kohfeldt.
  • 62' It’s gonna be a card for Ime Okon.
  • 63' Time for substitution for SV Darmstadt 98. Matondo-Merveille Papela is replaced by Marco Richter.
  • 68' 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.
  • 72' Husseyn Chakroun has so much to prove this time. He replaces Elias Saad on 72 minute.
  • 73' Hannover 96 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hayate Matsuda is hanging Stefan Teitur Thordarson on the field on 73 minute.
  • 76' The supporters are chanting for Matthias Bader. He replaces Niklas Schmidt on 76 minute.
  • 79' It’s gonna be a card for Virgil Ghita.
  • 83' SV Darmstadt 98 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Aleksandar Vukotic is hanging Fabian Nurnberger on the field on 83 minute.
  • 84' The whistle greets Sergio Lopez Galache as he departs to be replaced by Yosuke Furukawa.
  • 89' SV Darmstadt 98 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 89.
  • With this win, Hannover 96 is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
