The game is now taking a little break. Hannover doesn’t want to take any big risks yet and Leipzig doesn’t have to do much anymore. The guests are already leading 2-0.

19:00
Simakan comes at the corner to the header. Two meters from the goal, Gvardiol brings his toe to the ball. This changes the trajectory. Zieler reacts great and deflects the shot. Then a defender clarifies.
28
18:59
Laimer goes right into the penalty area and then plays the ball in the middle. Krajnc saves the flank. Leipzig demands a penalty, but that was not a handball. There is corner.
25
18:56
That was freezing from Leipzig. Twice Hannover offered something and twice they were punished for it. Now the people of Lower Saxony need a little miracle.

Tooor for RB Leipzig, 0: 2 by Christopher Nkunku
Hannover is countered again. Diemers plays a bad pass into the foot of Gvardiol. Then the 96s don’t immediately come back into order. Gvardiol uses the space and plays an outstanding through ball from the halfway line into Nkunku’s run. The Frenchman passes Zieler. He has to stop again at the baseline to the left of the goal and then puts the ball into the goal with his right from an acute angle.
21
18:52
Hannover fell into Leipzig’s trap when they conceded. You had the feeling once or twice before that the Saxons are particularly dangerous when the 96ers have moved up a bit.

18:51
André Silva plays Nnkunku on the left of the penalty area. The Frenchman pulls in the middle and then finishes with the right. His flick is too misplaced for Zieler to parry.

Tooor for RB Leipzig, 0: 1 by Christopher Nkunku
Hannover goes on the offensive once and is immediately punished for it. Henrichs wins the ball on his own baseline and plays directly to André Silva, who continues to play on Dani Olmo in his own half. The Spaniard has far too much space in the center and can run up to 30 meters in front of goal. Then he puts the ball down Nkunku’s barrel. Accompanied by Muroya, the Leipzig player goes into the penalty area and converts flat from 15 meters into the left corner.
16
18:47
Hanover is very well staggered. There are no rooms for RB. But the guests are just too unimaginative. There is little speed and creativity in the game.
13
18:44
Leipzig currently feels like they have 100 percent possession of the ball. But that’s okay for Hannover, because the guests mainly push the ball back and forth on the center line.
10
18:41
Crosses sail into the 96 penalty area every minute. This time it’s Angeliño who puts the ball in the middle from the left. Hanover clears with a head. The second ball lands on Dani Olmo. The Spaniard takes a volley, but the shot goes over clearly.

18:40
Leipzig is now increasing the pressure.
8th
18:39
Gvardiol plays a great pass to Nkunku on the left. The Frenchman is not offside and goes into the penalty area. A Hanover defender intervenes and clears the corner. The standard brings nothing.
7
18:37
So far, Leipzig has been pretty imprecise when it comes to the offensive third. So the game is balanced. Hanover is waiting for a counterattack.
6
18:36
Referee Marco Fritz shows in the first few minutes that he wants to take a generous line. That could be good for the game.
4
18:35
When Leipzig have the ball, Hannover only attacks in their own half. The attack pressing practiced in the league is missing for the time being.
2
18:33
Hannover has a first kick and actually plays briefly against the high-standing Leipzig. Then comes a long ball, but the home side obviously don’t just want to bolt here.
18:03
Domenico Tedesco replaces almost the entire team after the 1-0 win in the league against Bochum. His starting line-up has changed to seven positions. Klostermann is replaced in the back three by Gvardiol. Henrichs starts for Mukiele on the right flank. The double six is formed by Kampl and Laimer. Instead, Haïdara and Adams sit on the bench. On the offensive, Dani Olmo, Nkunku and André Silva will start today instead of Forsberg, Szoboszlai and Poulsen.
17:58
In contrast to the 2-0 win against Holstein Kiel last weekend, Christoph Dabrowski changed his starting line-up to four positions. Julian Börner cannot play today due to a corona infection in the family environment. Instead, Luka Kranjc and Gaël Ondoua start in central defence, which will probably be a back three. Jannik Dehm is replaced by Sei Muroya in the back right. There is one man less on the offensive today due to the strengthened central defense. Cedric Teuchert and Sebastian Stolze rotate out of the team. For Linton Maina starts in the storm.
17:43
At Hannover 96, too, a change of coach has brought new impetus to the team. On December 21, 2021, Christoph Dabrowski took over on the sidelines. At that time Hannover was in 15th place in the second division and only three points ahead of the relegation place. Since Dabrowski has been in charge of the leash, only one of seven competitive games has been lost. In the league they have improved to twelfth place.
17:42
The Lower Saxony surprisingly won clearly against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the previous round. With the 3-0 win in January there was never any doubt that the second division would progress. Today’s guests from Leipzig also reached the quarter-finals without any major problems. Against the outsider from Rostock it was enough in the home game to a sovereign 2:0. Under Domenico Tedesco things are going well with the Saxons anyway. Since he took office on December 9, 2021, RB has won nine of 13 competitive games and has climbed to fourth place in the Bundesliga.

Hello and welcome to the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal. Today at 6:30 p.m. Hannover 96 meets RB Leipzig.
