	1	Game started.
	1	Frankfurt is playing in red and black, Hannover in green.
	2	Joselu almost got a ball on the Hannover-half.
	2	Goal for Hannover! What a quick goal already by the first attack of H96! Pander had a crossball to the middle, ANDREASEN had a header in the middle at 6 meters and he scored! Brilliant goal, 0-1! 3rd goal of the season for Andreasen!
	3	Quite a big shock for Eintracht already in the 2nd minute. They have to build up some new elements of tactics today.
	4	Throw in for Hannover on the left, too long, Trapp caught it.
	5	Djakpa kicked a crossball, Schwegler shot on the right side, too high.
	6	Again the ball is played by Trapp at the back, the red-black defenders are passing now.
	7	Zambrano's ball towards Lanig was too long.
	7	Hannover lost is as well, Trapp grabbed it easily. Soon the ball is by Zieler after a too long ball ahead.
	8	The game slowed down in these minutes and too many inexact passed can we see.
	9	Offside by Ya Konan.
	10	At first Barnetta from the left, then Schwegler fired from the middle. At first a defender, then Zieler deflected the shot!
	11	Huszti is down on the left side at 20 meters, it was a foul, free kick for H96.
	11	Strange shot by Schmiedebach in the middle directly, but it was terrible, did not reach the line either, Jung collected it.
	12	Hannover is trying to attack the home team already at the halfline.
	13	Offside by Frankfurt, it was that by Aigner.
	14	Sakai saved towards to sideline against Djakpa.
	14	Goal for Eintracht Frankfurt! After a free kick from the left, LANIG got the ball on the right at 1 meter and shot immediately into the empty net! 1-1!
	15	Quite a quick equaliser by Eintracht, it can be a good match now.
	16	Hannover is trying to put some pressure again on Frankfurt, but this attak was failed on the left.
	17	In the middle, Joselu got a superb pass, but he failed to control it at 10 meters. It could have been a bigger chance either.
	18	Interesting, that the goal was scored after an offside, Lanig was clearly ahead of the last defender. But the referee decided to shot goal.
	18	Ball possession after 17 minutes is 39%-61% for Hannover.
	19	Zambrano fell to the ground after the collision with Stindl. Fortunately there is no injury.
	20	Sakai and Russ collided this time, it's more painful for the Japanese player.
	21	Schwegler fouled in the midfield, free kick for H96.
	21	Goal for Hannover! What an 'aerial' goal again!! After a distant free kick of Pander, Lars STINDL only very slightly touched the ball in the middle at 7 meters and scored with his head!! 1-2!
	22	Hannover has retaken the lead again. Can Frankfurt equalise once again?
	23	Inexact pass ahead, Trapp caught it easily.
	24	Danger in the Hannover zone again, a ball came in from the right side, a defender headed out to the left.
	25	Marcelo cleaned the zone after a threatening ball kicked in from the left.
	26	Hannover relieved finally, Sakai can play the ball at the back on the right side.
	26	Djakpa and Bittencourt collided in the middle, Djakpa got a free kick.
	27	There are several little breaks in the game now, it's not quite nice.
	28	Again a distant free kick for the visitors, Pander again found a head in the middle, but a defender finally cleaned the zone but not fully relieved.
	29	Pass ahead towards Ya Konan was way too long, Trapp can kick the ball out.
	30	Sakai had a long throw in from the right, it looked to be good for Stindl, but Trapp was slightly quicker.
	30	Goal for Hannover! Andreasen got a ball in the middle at 16 meters, gave a dreamful, soft pass ahead for YA KONAN and he scored at 10 meters! 1-3!
	31	Already a big danger on the other side, after a nice pass to the left, Joselu shot at 15 meters, but too high! It was a clean shot.
	32	After half an hour of play, Hannover is leading the match by 3-1 now, and the match is great!
	33	Schwegler is out, Meier is in, the first substitution, very early after only 31 minutes!
	34	After this tactical substitution, Frankfurt can build a new attack.
	35	Crossball from the left by Frankfurt is not exact, but the ball remains by them.
	36	Zambrano gave a really bad crossball for Djakpa, way too high, Hannover can play the ball now.
	37	Yellow card has been awarded Bittencourt (Hannover 96).
	38	Uhh, it looked like handball in the own penalty zone of Hannover twice in a row!! Marcelo's case was the more suspicious, but the referee decided not to stop the game.
	39	Frankfurt is taking the clear domination now, Hannover is focusing on defence in these minutes.
	39	Djakpa fouled Bittencourt, free kick for the greens in the middle of the Eintracht half.

	41	Crossball on the other side is out of danger by Aigner.
	41	Zieler can kick the ball out, about 5 minutes left of this half.
	42	Huszti and Schulz tackled Aigner together.
	42	Djakpa's crossball is extremely deep, Zieler easily grabbed it.
	43	Zieler caught the header of Lanig in the middle. He can kick it out again.
	44	Frankfurt is clearly more active ahead, but they are 2 goals down.
	45	Passes and actions are not exact in these minutes and midfield is mostly in play.
	45+1	Two minutes of extra time added.
	45+1	Yellow card has been awarded Aigner (Hannover 96).
	45+2	I hope that after the break, the game will be like in the first 35 minutes.
	45+2	1st halftime finished.
		Four goals in the first 30 minutes, the match is exciting and interesting. The speed was good in the first 35 minutes, but in the last 10 ones, it became very dull and inexact. Frankfurt – Hannover 1-3 now, stay with us after the break too! ----
