2nd league: 1. FC Nürnberg goes down at Hannover 96

Second three in a row

1. FC Nürnberg missed the leap out of the bottom of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Franconians clearly lost 0:3 (0:1) at Hannover 96 on Saturday evening and are thus still in the relegation battle. For the first time since the 16th matchday against Fortuna Düsseldorf (2-0) in early November 2022, the 96ers remained without a goal.

In front of 28,500 spectators, Julian Börner (43rd minute), Derrick Köhn (49th) and Maximilian Beier (70th) scored the goals for Lower Saxony, for whom it was their second win in a row. With 40 points, coach Stefan Leitl’s team has finally settled into the secure midfield of the table.

In a fast-paced encounter, Nuremberg got off to a good start and created some good chances. The hosts held on well and took the lead just before half-time. After a free kick by Jannik Dehm, Börner scored with a header. Shortly after the change of sides, Köhn increased the lead to 2-0 with a nice long-range shot. This broke the resistance of the Franks. Maximilian Beier made the final score 20 minutes before the end.
