That could have been another goal!
Almost out of nowhere, Taibi breaks through completely free and runs towards Weiner. He is caught up by Zec and therefore cannot finish ideally. Weiner saves!

Stoppage time is underway
There will be four minutes added on. Will we see a fifth goal?

Harres's race is run
The goalscorer has run himself into the ground and is replaced by Müller for the final minutes.

Narrow miss
Leopold tries to set up Nielsen with a chip from the right side, but he doesn't reach the ball in the six-yard box.

Fresh legs
Kiel also bring on a veteran: The 35-year-old Schwab replaces the 23-year-old Kelati.

The momentum is back with the hosts
78'
Is that the decisive moment?!
The substitute scores during Kiel's period of pressure! Kokolo is sent deep down the left wing and delivers a pin-point cross in front of goal, where Thórdarson only needs to stick out his foot!
77'
Another substitution
Blank now replaces Okon in central defence.
77'
Substitution
75'
Can they get another?
For a long time, they looked like the clear losers here, but now Kiel only need one more goal to equalise. They have been significantly more active in the last few minutes.
72'
Triple substitution
Titz needs new impetus now and brings on three new players with Kokolo, Taibi and Thórdarson.

Kiel score out of nowhere!
The situation doesn't seem particularly threatening, as Harres is standing about 20 metres from the goal with his back to it. He then simply fires a shot on the turn and buries the ball unstoppably into the left side of the net! Kiel are back in it!
66'
Offensive substitution
Attacking midfielder Therkelsen comes on for the rather defensive-minded Meffert.

Lucky escape for Okon!
After a Kiel cross from the left side, the centre-back tries to clear the ball but sends it towards his own goal! Noll is alert and manages to prevent it from going in.
54'
Back come Hannover
The home side have settled into the second half and are dominating the match once more. Yokota misses a good chance at the far post, taking Saad's cross on the volley but firing well over the bar!
52'
Tactical Foul by Davidsen
The Dane has to pull Oudenne's shirt to prevent a counter-attack. Yellow card!
49'
Kiel much improved
Rapp seems to have given his men a boost during half-time. The Storks are now pressing higher up the pitch, looking more aggressive and motivated!
46'
We're back underway!
Kiel return to the pitch having made one change at the break - with Jakupović on for Niehoff. Hannover remain unchanged.

The first Kiel attempt
After a free kick from the half-space, Zec rises high and heads the ball from five metres out. The attempt is too central, allowing Noll to catch it.
45'

Stoppage time is underway
After several interruptions, there will be six minutes of added time.
45'
Almost the third!
Football at last: Hannover comes down the left flank, a cross into the penalty area is laid off perfectly by Neubauer to Saad, who has a clear shooting lane from about ten metres out. His shot is deflected and sails over the bar.
43'
Harres booked
He catches Aseko with his studs on the foot and sees yellow for it!
43'
Little flow to the game at the moment
In the last few minutes, the match has been repeatedly interrupted by injuries.
40'
Noll is now receiving treatment
Tomiak is back, but now the goalkeeper needs help from the medical department. He seems to have done something to his thigh...
38'
Head injury
In the next action, Tomiak collides with Aseko and stays down. He is currently receiving treatment, but will likely be able to continue playing shortly.
34'
Tomiak fortunate?
The Hannover defender is in a foot race with Harres and then stretches out his leg. He probably makes slight contact with the ball first and then the Kiel striker; otherwise, it would have been a red card for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity as the last man!

Almost 3-0!
29'
Hannover well in control
They are now radiating a lot of confidence, and the ball is being moved around nicely. Kiel are trying to press a bit earlier, but the ball-secure Leopold and Co. are not getting flustered.

Another shot from the hosts
The match is trending in one clear direction. Saad drives forward on the left side and then passes to Aseko. He tries from the edge of the penalty area, but leans back and therefore misses the target.
14'
The first yellow card
Zec stops Källman in the nick of time, who otherwise would have had a clear path to goal.
13'
Penalty appeal
The ball is moving really well again. On the left wing, Oudenne cuts into the penalty area and receives a slight push from Kelati five metres in front of the goal. The 96ers immediately throw their arms up, but play continues.
11'
How will Kiel respond?
The Storks haven't got going at all yet. Currently, they're trying to bring some calm into their game with possession.
8'
Another big chance!
Neubauer is sent away on the right wing and delivers a cross at full sprint. In the middle, Källman is lurking again, but his impressive first-time effort goes just a metre wide of the right post!

Titz's curious record
Christian Titz has faced the Storks seven times as a coach, winning four from four away from home but taking only one point from a possible nine on home soil. Titz's Hamburg side were beaten 3-0 by Kiel at the Volksparkstadion back in August 2018.
A game to forget
Hannover were beaten 5-1 at home by Kiel in May 2023 - the most goals they have ever conceded in a single Bundesliga 2 game.
Impressive return
