EBS Braunschweig Braunschweig - H96 Hannover Hannover

Oudenne stops Gómez unfairly just beyond the halfway line. Nothing brutal, but a booking for a tactical foul with no attempt to play the ball.

As Yokota is also not one to shy away from confrontation, he says a few words towards the Braunschweig players and is shown a yellow card.

The nonchalance and composure that Hannover display in possession is obvious. Despite winning a few tackles in midfield, Braunschweig are struggling to get a grip on the match. The visitors repeatedly increase the tempo and immediately create dangerous situations.

In the last three derbies in Braunschweig, Hannover didn't score at all, but now they've scored three times - the last time this happened was 34 years ago (September 1991, 3-1 in the 2. Bundesliga).

The visitors respond calmly to the brief moment of shock. Chakroun drives forward on the left again and switches play to the other side. Yokota wins a corner, but it doesn't lead to anything tangible.

The substitute makes an impact: Yokota with his first goal for Hannover. His last goal was half a year ago for Kaiserslautern.

Chakroun holds his ground on the left and plays the ball into Oudenne's path. His cross from the byline to the far post finds Yokota, who finishes with a first-time volley.

Nawrocki played a strong debut, but is replaced by Blank. Roggow replaces Aseko Nkili, who had a solid game.

Another quick counter-attack from the visitors. Chakroun's pass from his own half finds Yokota, who is lurking at the halfway line. Ehlers just manages to stop him in the penalty area.

Källman received the ball centrally in front of goal, turned and finished clinically into the bottom right corner, but he was offside.

As Bundu has already been shown the yellow card and was late in a challenge against Breunig a few minutes ago, head coach Titz doesn't want to take any risks. The striker is replaced by Yokota.

Leopold delivers a corner from the left with pace towards the goal. Hoffmann initially misses the ball with his punch and is then fortunate that his teammates intervene.

Even though they are already leading 2-0 and have a man advantage, the visitors are pushing for the third goal. The wingers keep driving forward, engaging the Braunschweig full-backs in one-on-one battles. Köhler in particular is having problems with Chakroun on his flank.

Brilliant save from Hoffmann! The 96 captain tries his luck from about 25 metres, but the Löwen goalkeeper saves with a fantastic diving effort.

Källman is played through on the right side of the penalty area, but his shot narrowly misses the far post.

After the red card for Yardımcı, the tide has naturally turned. The data suggests, Hannover now have significantly better odds playing with the numerical advantage.

Braunschweig are starting to live dangerously. First, Chakroun penetrates into the box but is stopped by a strong sliding tackle from Köhler. Hannover keep pushing forward, yet Matsuda's cross evades everyone.

The visitors build up patiently from the back again before Tomiak looks for a forward pass. Chakroun wins a corner, which Leopold delivers, and Tomiak rises highest to meet it. However, his header from about 10 yards is spectacularly parried away by Hoffmann.

A long ball from keeper Noll from his own half finds Bundu. The right winger controls the ball well and carries it forward, but his cross to the far post is too hasty and goes out for a goal kick.
