An 89th minute goal from Ante Rebic helped Eintracht Frankfurt to a third away triumph of the season and put an end to Hannover's 11-game unbeaten run at home.

Hannover 1-2 Eintracht Frankfurt

Goals: 0-1 Haller (10'), 1-1 Sane (36'), 1-2 Rebic (89')

Their team unbeaten in eleven previous encounters at the HDI Arena, Hannover fans were thus stunned into silence when visitors Eintracht took a tenth minute-lead. Latching onto Marius Wolf’s through pass, Sebastien Haller moved clear before lifting the ball over goalkeeper Philipp Tschauner for his third goal of the campaign. The hosts remained composed and responded to draw level through Salif Sané’s header from Pirmin Schwegler’s smart corner.

The second half produced few clear-cut chances and with the game appearing set for a draw, Niko Kovac’s side pounced. A long kick-out from Lukas Hradecky allowed Haller to tee up Rebic who fired in from distance to give Eintracht their third away win of the season.
