2:1 - HSV with last-minute win in Hannover

Curious goals ...

HSV coach Tim Walter had to replace his injured winger Dompé in Hannover, Kittel played for him on the left wing, behind him Muheim defended instead of Leibold. But Muheim was anything but lucky at the start of the game, as in the fourth minute of the match the Swiss player slipped in his own possession in the HSV penalty area, giving Hannover's Muroya the early 1:0 lead. However, the visitors quickly shook it off, took the reins against the 96ers, who were mostly a little deeper, and had good opportunities to equalise through Glatzel and Kittel. These did not lead to the hoped-for success, which was then forced after a quarter of an hour: Heyer passed sharply from the right to Glatzel, who was ready to shoot, and 96 centre-back Börner tried to save with his long leg - own goal. With this 1-1 result behind them, the Rothosen became even more dominant in the following period, gaining around 75 per cent possession in the first half hour and in the closing minutes of the first half, Kittel, Glatzel and Muheim, who almost made up for his faux pas in the opening phase with his long-range shot, had several good finishes. In the end, however, the decisive centimetres were missing in each case, so that it went into the break with the intense draw - referee Brych showed four yellow cards in the first period alone.
