1: 1 in the derby: Braunschweig stops Hanover’s winning streak

Promoted Eintracht Braunschweig has the winning streak in the Lower Saxony derby
Hanover 96 ended. The two arch-rivals drew 1-1 (0-0) in front of 42,000 spectators on Saturday. Anthony Ujah gave the bottom of the table a deserved lead in the 69th minute, but he spurred on the hesitant and nervous 96ers again.

Havard Nielsen equalized in the 77th minute for the favorites who had previously won four times. The former player from Braunschweig had previously hit the crossbar twice (45+4/71).

Fireworks in the Braunschweig fan block caused a brief interruption after just one and a half minutes. Nevertheless, this derby was quieter than feared, at least in the run-up to and during the 90 minutes. 7,000 seats remained empty in the stadium for security reasons. The police consistently separated the two groups of fans.

Braunschweig coped better with the tense derby atmosphere. The outsider invested so much in this game in terms of running and fighting that the great quality advantages of the 96s hardly came into play. A shot from Nicolo Tresoldi (22′) and a brilliant move from Eintracht goalkeeper Jasmin Fejzic after Nielsen’s header (45′ + 4′): Hanover didn’t get more than that against a strong defender from Braunschweig for a long time. The fear of a derby bankruptcy only gave way to the promotion candidate after the deficit.

Karlsruhe striker Fabian Schleusener had the best opportunity, but he only hit the side netting in the 44th minute. Significant for the first round: The goal would not have counted anyway because of an offside position.

Even after the change of sides, both teams fought a duel at eye level for a long time. Heidenheim’s attacker Tim Kleindienst scored what was supposed to be 1-0 (62′), but the goal was rightly disallowed for offside. The game rippled along before Heidenheimer blew the final offensive. Kevin Sessa put the ball wide of the goal (82nd). Adrian Beck failed with a long-range shot at KSC keeper Marius Gersbeck (83rd). And Heidenheim’s defender Patrick Mainka headed the ball just wide after a corner (84′) to keep it 0-0.
