Full-time: Hannover 1-2 Fürth

It's all over, and Fürth manage to hold on to their lead and secure three extremely important points in the relegation battle. Hannover put on real pressure towards the end, but the Franconians defended their goal with a dogged display and therefore move off the bottom of the table.

Good positioning

Futkeu holds on to the ball and passes it to Will, who takes a shot. A defender, though, is perfectly positioned and clears it for a corner, which can be dealt with.

Battle of wills

Prüfrock simply stands still for the penalty and thus secures the lead.

Now Hannover again

Bundu is immediately involved in the game and takes a shot after a step-over. The ball is cleared for a corner, which leads to chaos in the Fürth penalty area. Eventually, the Cloverleaves manage to clear it.

Fürth still dangerous

Futkeu simply has a go from around 25 yards and forces Noll into a good save. From the resulting corner, Klaus attempts an overhead kick but misses the target.

Fürth go into the break with a deserved lead! The Cloverleaves started the match well and had a chance for an early lead through Ltaief after a misunderstanding in the Hannover defence. The home side scored an offside goal in the 12th minute, which was correctly disallowed. Afterwards, Fürth continued to play bravely and took a deserved lead through Futkeu.

What is Noll doing there???

Noll lets a backpass trickle by, and it rolls towards the goal line. In the nick of time, the goalkeeper just about manages to keep the ball out with a sliding tackle.

Favourite opponent

Futkeu has scored once in each of his three second division matches against Hannover.

Goooal!

After a long goal kick, a Hannover player unintentionally flicks the ball on. Futkeu then easily pushes Okon off the ball as the two battle for possession, allowing the former to progress into the penalty area and volley into the net.

Good attempt

Saad gets the ball again and plays it to Oudenne, who doesn't hesitate as he has a go from the edge of the penalty area. However, the shot is too central and is collected by Prüfrock.

25'

Corner for Hannover

Thórdarson gets his head to the ball, but his header is safely collected by Prüfrock.

22'

That was dangerous

Dehm delivers the ball from the right into the middle, where Nawrocki fails to clear. However, Futkeu cannot react quickly enough and is therefore unable to control the ball properly, meaning the chance goes begging.

20'

Ziereis clears

Saad gets past his opponent and delivers the ball into the middle. Prüfrock initially clears, but Neubauer takes the rebound on the volley. Ziereis, though, is perfectly positioned and blocks the ball in the nick of time.

Unnecessary foul

Saad fouls Dehm to give the Cloverleaves a good free-kick opportunity. However, the subsequent cross is cleared.

...but the flag goes up. Saad sends Oudenne into the penalty area, who delivers the ball into the middle for Thórdarson. He then simply sticks out his foot and slots it in for the opener, but he is half a yard offside and the effort is correctly chalked off.

Free-kick Fürth

Leopold fouls Srbeny and thus concedes a free kick. However, Klaus' cross is too long and ends up going out for a goal kick.

Hannover make their presence known

Källman receives the ball near the penalty area and looks to play it back to Thórdarson. However, a Fürth player intervenes and manages to defuse the situation.

Huge chance for Fürth

Noll comes out after a long goal-kick from Prüfrock and takes the ball on his chest. However, it bounces into Ltaief's path, and he manages to get off a shot at the empty Hannover goal, albeit from 50 yards out. Ultimately, the ball goes out of play.
