7’ Pizarro wins the ball off Gülselam and plays in Öztunali who beats his man but then sends his shot wide.
14’ Junuzovic swings over a free kick and Djilobodji is there to meet it at the back post, but Zieler saves well from his effort.
18’ GOOAAL! It’s Fin Bartels! Garcia plays a one-two into the area and the ball is tackled into the path of Bartels at the back post, who taps into an empty net! Come on!
26’ GOAL! 2-0! The Weser-Stadion is bouncing as Pizarro controls inside the area, tips it cleverly over the defender and then rockets it into the roof of the net! That’s the Peruvian’s 100th Werder goal and he certainly puts it away in style.
32’ Vestergaard nearly makes it three. Another Junuzovic free kick comes over and Vestergaard tips it goalwards but it sails over the bar.
44' Goal Hannover. A corner is nodded on to Karaman at the back post who is left to tap in from less than a yard. 2-1.
