Journey:

Home game, no trip

Hannover 96


Game:

First ten minutes Hannover was playing realy well. Stajner was on every end of the pitch and it seemed that the team will start as they did against Hamburg one week earlier. But then somehow the game lost on speed and lost level. Short before the halftime Balitsch scored the the 1:0 lead out of the nothing. After the break the home team tried to score a second time but Karlsruhe turned the game around with goals from Hajnal and Kennedy. Hannover was on shock but in minute 87 Rosentahl scored very nice long distance shot. But we all knew that a draw was not enough. In the extra time Hanke scored the third goal for the Reds but the ref said he played foul before. What a dramatic end. But better one point than no point!
