Full-time: Hannover 1-0 Cologne
Hannover puts in a strong home performance and defeat the league leaders from Cologne, who could have taken a big step towards promotion today. Reduced to 10 in the second-half, the visitors lacked a cutting edge and Gindorf proves the match-winner to keep Hannover in the promotion hunt.

Cologne have a go
Despite being a man down, the visitors are now managing to shift the play more into the opposition half and repeatedly deliver balls into the box. Could there still be something in this for them?
83'
And another yellow card
For Halstenberg it's actually his fifth; he will miss the match in Ulm next weekend.
82'
Ouch!
Heintz catches Tresoldi heavily on the foot. Initially, advantage is played as Momuluh still gets a shot away, but shortly after, Gansloweit shows the Cologne centre-back a yellow card.

That was close
Oudenne cuts in from the left flank towards the centre and has a go, but the ball goes narrowly wide of the left post.

A deserved lead!
Shortly after the sending-off, Hannover add the opening goal, which is entirely deserved. Ezeh plays a free-kick near the byline into the space behind, where Gindorf is waiting and smashes the ball into the top left corner.

Kainz misses the chance to take the lead! Lemperle is played through on the right and delivers a low cross into the middle, where the Austrian somewhat fortunately gets a shot away but Zieler denies the away side.

Despite the vocal support from 15,000 Cologne fans, the offensive play remains lacklustre.

Double chance!
First Tresoldi tries from the right outside the penalty area, shortly after Gindorf from the left outside the box. Both are denied by more excellent work from Schwäbe.

Another chance!
Hannover are getting closer and closer to an opener. After a free kick from the right side, Halstenberg rises at the far post but his header is saved by Schwäbe.

Big chance for 96!

Close!
Kainz delivers a cross and, because Downs and Waldschmidt miss the ball, Zieler doesn't really know where it's coming down. The ball then fizzes past the right post and out for a goal kick.
17'
Schwäbe takes a knock
The visiting goalkeeper was treated on the pitch for a few minutes with an apparent knee injury. However, it seems he can continue for now and we're back underway.
15'
Good position
Ezeh delivers a sharp free-kick from the left side of the Cologne penalty area, but the Billy Goats manage to clear it.
12'
Ineffective Cologne
Cologne are not making any headway in the final third. When they do have the ball, it's mostly in their own half.
8'
Should be 1-0!
Lee is played in on the right side of the penalty area, turns brilliantly past his opponent and has a clear shot at goal but can only fire wide. A huge chance.
7'
Inventive
From the left, Kainz plays a short free-kick to Thielmann, who then deliberately crosses it towards Downs. However, he cannot win the aerial duel, so no danger arises.

Hectic start
Both teams are still searching for their rhythm and composure on the ball in this opening phase. Currently, there's a lot of back and forth.

Hannover kick-off, playing in red. The league leaders from Cologne are in blue.
Coup d’envoi!
Slight delay
Referee Gansloweit has to keep both teams waiting a bit longer, as smoke from the away supporters' block is obstructing visibility.
Four changes for Hannover
Nielsen, Oudenne, Muroya and Wdowik are rotated out of the side compared to the defeat in Darmstadt last time out. Momuluh, Gindorf, Ezeh and Tomiak are the new additions.
Cologne unchanged
For the first time in the second half of the season, Köln's coach Gerhard Struber sends the same starting XI into action for two consecutive matches. This last happened in November, curiously also across the fixtures against Münster and Hannover.
Hannover starting XI
Zieler - Tomiak, Neumann, Halstenberg, Ezeh - Lee, Leopold, Kunze, Gindorf - Momuluh, Tresoldi
Cologne starting XI
Schwäbe - Thielmann, Hübers, Heintz, Paqarada - Ljubicic, Martel, Kainz - Waldschmidt - Lemperle, Downs
Farewell to Breitenreiter
Hannover and head coach André Breitenreiter have mutually agreed to end their cooperation with immediate effect. The previous assistant coach Lars Barlemann, U19 coach Dirk Lottner and U17 coach Christian Schulz will take responsibility for the team in the four remaining matches of the season.
What Dirk Lottner has said
"This is certainly a special situation. I'm really looking forward to the match against Cologne and hope that we will perform really well as a team. The focus is now of course on the task surrounding the squad. The anticipation for the match is enormous."
What Gerhard Struber has said
"We continue to focus on ourselves. We proved a lot last week and we want to build on that. Hannover has a new coaching team that is now setting the pace."
Cologne lad
Ron-Robert Zieler is a native of Cologne and was at Effzeh from 1999 to 2005 and in 2020/21. However, his only competitive match for the first team was the last of his 254 Bundesliga appearances on 6 November 2020 in a 1-1 draw at Bremen.
Unforgettable
The last Bundesliga 2 meeting between the sides in Hannover took place on 8 May 2000. Cologne were 2-0 down after seven minutes, but roared back to win 5-3, securing promotion to the Bundesliga with four games to spare.
Long wait for a win
Hannover haven't won in Cologne for 10 years or beaten the Billy Goats on home soil in 11.
Draw streak
The last three competitive matches between Hannover and Cologne have all ended in draws. In this season's reverse fixture, Effzeh turned around a deficit with a man advantage (after Max Christiansen was sent off in the 55th minute), but an 86th-minute own goal from Florian Kainz earned Hannover a draw. Curiously, Hannover managed to equalise without a single shot on goal after the break.
