    After this match Wolfsurg's commanding undefeated period is over. Although, they attacked and possessed the ball much more, but could not defend Hannover's counterattacks what was a little bit poor in the start of the match, but then got more dangerous. Bittencourt scored two beautiful goals, but Rudnevs, Diouf and Huszti was unstoppable many times as well. Wolfsburg have to became more accurate and aggressive in front of the area next time to reach a better result. With these three points Hannover jumped up to the tenth standing (21 points), while Wolfsburg is still fifth (30 points) and may hope the rivals will not win either. (18:03:31)
