Lower Saxony can only be relegated if they lose their last two games against Hamburger SV and FC Ingolstadt and are 16th in the table. Dynamo Dresden wins three more times.
Weydandt and Beier score for 96
Hendrik Weydandt headed Hannover in the 25th minute. Maximilian Beier decided the game (90th + 3 minutes) when he countered with a low shot into the bottom right corner.
Hannover played very passively after the break, but Karlsruhe didn’t take advantage of that. Tim Breithaupt (24′) and Fabian Schleusener (33′) missed the best chances for the guests in the first half.
