The 182nd Lower Saxony Sender between Hannover 96 and Eintracht Braunschweig has not found a winner. Both teams separated 1-1 (0-0) on Sunday at the World Cup Stadium on Maschsee. The duel between the two arch -rivals was interrupted several times in the first half due to pyro and protests.
Because of the throwing of pyrotechnics and tennis balls, the prudent referee Matthias Jöllenbeck (Freiburg) had to briefly interrupt the game. After the change of sides, the sport came to the fore.
The relegation -threatened guests were already very close to the victory after a goal from Lino Tempelmann (77th). In the third minute of stoppage time, Josh Knight still achieved the overall deserved compensation for 96, which, however, had feathers in the promotion battle despite the late point win.
“This appearance is not enough. That shouldn’t be our claim,” criticized coach André Breitenreiter in the NDR interview. His captain Ron-Robert Zieler was also mighty: “It was not the performance we expect from us and to which we are able. We were too passive and had too little intensity in our game. Overall, it was not enough for a derby.”
“We missed the willpower and energy. “

For the BTSV, on the other hand, the partial success in the “Mission Class Stop” in the final accounting could be worth gold. “After the game, everyone in Braunschweig is proud of the team,” said Eintracht veteran Jannis Nikolaou. The 31 -year -old defender found: “If we had won, it would not have been undeserved. We left everything on the pitch, had chances and didn’t allow much.”
Smoking pots and tennis balls take care of Interruptions
No mood in the ranks, almost no highlights on the lawn: This is how the action in the World Cup stadium on the Maschsee can be summarized in the first half, which had an added time of ten (!) Minutes due to three game breaks.
Fans who were in the opposite straight of the arena were responsible for this. At first they threw smoked pots on the field, later tennis balls flew twice on the green. In addition, 96 supporters kept a banner with the portrait of Lower Saxony Interior Minister Daniela Behrens in a crosshair. The SPD politician was the driving force for the ultimately imposed part of the guest fans.
In contrast, only around 800 Eintracht supporters had traveled to the state capital. The spectators in Hanover also protested the measures and almost completely waived their team during the game. “As far as the framework conditions are concerned, it is not the derby that we want,” said Nikolaou.
Bleak Framework conditions, bleak game
The atmosphere was accordingly ghostly, almost like in Corona times, when “ghost games” were the order of the day. The bleak framework conditions matched a duel very weak over long distances of the first section. With both teams, almost everything remained, which was certainly due to the interruptions.
Successful combinations and noteworthy degrees were rare. The best score before half-time was in 96 by Nicolo Tresoldi, who failed with his header on the brilliantly parrying goalkeeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann (36th).

After the change of sides, the spectators then prevented the throwing of objects, which had a positive effect on the game. Both teams now found their rhythm better and fought a passionate, fair derby, in which a little surprisingly the acute descent -threatened guests were more merging in the forward movement.
After Rayan Philippe (47th), Sven Köhler (52-) and Levente Szabó (68.) had missed the BTSV leadership, Tempelmann ensured the deserved 1-0 for unity with a full right shot in the far corner. It was already the fourth goal of the offensive man in the “Löwen” dress borrowed from FC Schalke 04 in winter. Shortly afterwards, the 26-year-old could have even increased, but failed due to the attentive target (82nd).
It is at least very questionable whether the Hanoverians, which had largely recovered from a 0-2 deficit, would have recovered from a 0-2 deficit. So the home side stayed in the game and came to equalize through a header from Knight after a corner kick by Marcel Halstenberg. 96 coach Breitenreiter was only a limited mild thing. “We were second winners in many moments, passive in our game. And that’s why you have to analyze and discuss it significantly,” said the 51-year-old.
