2nd division: Kraus lets 1. FC Kaiserslautern celebrate against Hannover 96 in injury time

Wunderlich also scores for climbers

With heart and passion, 1. FC Kaiserslautern celebrated a fantastic comeback in the second division after four years and thoroughly spoiled the start of the season for Hannover 96. The “Red Devils” won the season opening game of the 2nd Bundesliga on Friday evening against Lower Saxony, who were traded as promotion contenders, 2-1 (1-0). In front of 40,579 spectators in the Fritz-Walter-Stadion, Mike Wunderlich put the home side ahead in the 11th minute, which substitute Havard Nielsen (80th) equalized. Kevin Kraus (90+2) turned the Betzenberg into a madhouse with his late winning goal.

Right from the start, the Palatinate relied on fight and passion, which Hanover didn’t like for a long time. The guests had a lot more possession of the ball, but only emanated a goal threat in the second half and made a few mistakes on the defensive.

This was also the case with FCK’s opening goal, which 96 defender Julian Börner involuntarily initiated with an unsuccessful back pass to goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler. Terrence Boyd splashed in between and served Wunderlich, who pointed the ball into the empty goal. At the age of 36 years and 112 days, the veteran Wolfgang Funkel replaced the “Red Devils” as the oldest league goalscorer.

In an intense game, both sides made their first change after less than half an hour. At FCK, newcomer Ben Zolinski, who had been acting conspicuously up to that point, had to leave the field injured and Kenny Prince Redondo came on for him. Gaël Ondoua ended early at Hannover after the midfielder walked on the verge of being sent off. He was replaced by Fabian Kunze.

Nothing has changed in the course of the game for the time being. The hosts let the Lower Saxony come, but had the better chances. Zieler was only able to fend off a long-range shot from Redondo with difficulty.

FCK keeper Andreas Luthe, on the other hand, was only tested for the first time after an hour. The veteran, who was brought in from Union Berlin in the summer, subsequently proved to be a reliable backing and prevented a possible equalizer with a brilliant save from a free kick by Sebastian Kerk fifteen minutes before the end, which he was unable to prevent a little later. After preliminary work by Cedric Teuchert, Nielsen scored from eight meters. In the end, however, the hosts cheered when Kraus scored from a corner kick.
