Summary
That's it from the Preußenstadion. Ron-Robert Zieler keeps a clean sheet for Hannover. Münster invested more over the entire game and had the better chances. The guests had more possession in the second half, but barely knew what to do with it. Shortly before the end, Ngankam hit the crossbar from just a few metres out.

Hit the crossbar!
Jessic Ngankam smashes the ball off the crossbar after a free kick from the right side just outside the box. That was a huge chance!

Too inaccurate
Makridis carelessly wastes possession again with his pass into attack, only 72 percent of passes are finding their target for the home side.

Is there still something to play for?
The final phase is underway, Münster still have the better chances, but the ball just won't go into the net.
76'
In vain
Zieler saves against Bazzoli, parries forward and Koulis blasts the ball over the goal from just a few metres.

Various interruptions
First there was a drinks break, then a stoppage for treatment of Frenkert.

Fresh legs
Münster makes two substitutions, Hannover one. The dreaded striking duo of Preußen leaves the pitch, in the first half Batmaz had twice the lead at his feet and was responsible for five of the six shots on target.

Zieler is on hand
Grodowski is played through on the right and makes a good run into space, but Zieler is alert again, races out of his goal and clears with his foot.
62'
Deflected
Voglsammer shoots from the right, the ball is decisively deflected and thus made dangerous. The ball drops nastily but lands out. The following corner once again comes to nothing.
62'
First substitution for the home side
Daniel Kyerewaa is brought on in midfield to add more pace.

Substitution

Too hasty

58'
Next caution
Mees rushes into Dehm and sees the next yellow card.
57'
No pressure

Schenk is there
Dehm brings a high ball dangerously from the left half-space into the box, but the ball sails into the arms of Schenk.
49'
Too far
Voglsammer tries to put in a cross from the right into the box, but the attempt from the new player goes clearly too far and sails out of play.

Play resumes!
Münster kick off the second half of the match. Hannover return from the dressing room with two fresh players.

Strong Promoted Team
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Half-time in Münster
After a good opening phase from Preußen Münster and some good finishing attempts, the match flattened out a bit and is therefore goalless going into half-time. Batmaz twice had the lead at his feet but was thwarted by the strong Ron-Robert Zieler. Very little has come from Hannover in attack so far.

Intercepted
Tresoldi asserts himself well on the ball and then attempts to play a high pass to Rochelt to send him through on goal, but the attempt is intercepted by Münster's alert defence.

Great chance for Batmaz!
The striker gets a good through ball from Mees centrally in the box and has a shot on goal, but Zieler comes out of his goal, makes himself big and can safely parry the shot. The goalkeeper wins the personal duel against the striker once again.

Hannover on the attack
The away side have taken control of the match, but are yet to find the necessary gaps in the well organised defensive unit of Preußen.

Somewhat quieter
After some penalty area scenes in the opening phase, the match has flattened out a bit, Hannover have stabilised defensively and Preußen are no longer getting into the final third of the pitch.
21'
Next Yellow
Frenkert makes a late challenge on Tresoldi and is rightly shown a yellow card.
19'
Little penetration
The away side are still struggling to get in behind and threaten the opposition's goal.

Zieler a safe last line of defence
Goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler is playing his 350th competitive match for Hannover 96 today, which is an impressive number. So far, the keeper has been wide awake for Münster's attempts.
9'
Not far off
Hendrix takes the ball after a rebound in the middle, just outside the box, directly out of the air and puts it just wide of the left post.
8'
Chance
Hannover also show themselves, Nielsen gets his head on the ball from a cross from the left in the box, but can't direct it towards goal.
7'
Good start
The home side start very boldly and dynamically into the match.
5'
First caution
Knight goes into Mees with straight legs and rightly sees the yellow card.
3'
Good corner
Lorenz cheekily drives a corner from the right towards the near post, but Zieler is alert. On the second attempt, the visitors' defence can clear. Shortly afterwards, Mees gets a shot away on the left inside the box and shoots wide to the right of the goal, but he was probably offside beforehand.

Kick off!
The ball is rolling in Münster, after 33 years finally a second division match again. Hannover kick off, the atmosphere is excellent.
Kick-off!
Stefan Leitl also changes nothing
Hannover also starts with the same starting eleven as on matchday 1. After the convincing 2-0 win against Regensburg, coach Stefan Leitl also had no real reason to do so.
Münster unchanged
Despite the defeat at the start in Fürth, Münster starts with the same starting eleven as on the 1st matchday. This is typical for Preußen, already in the past third division season hardly any manager changed his initial formation from game to game as rarely as Sascha Hildmann.
This is how Hannover starts
Zieler - Neumann, Halstenberg, Knight - Muroya, Leopold, Kunze, Dehm - Nielsen, Rochelt - Tresoldi
This is how Münster starts
Schenk - Ter Horst, Koulis, Frenkert, Kirkeskov - Hendrix, Bazzoli - Mees, Lorenz - Batmaz, Grodowski
The refereeing team
Lars Erbst (referee), Mario Hildenbrand (assistant referee 1), Manuel Bergmann (assistant referee 2), Philipp Hüwe (4th official), Katrin Rafalski (video assistant referee), Jonas Weickenmeier (assistant video assistant referee)
What Hildmann says about Hannover 96:
"For me Hannover is a real title contender. Their offense is very strong. Rochelt, Nielsen, Tresoldi, there is a lot of quality on the pitch. Those are tough tasks, but we like to face them and feel ready for it."
Leitl on Preussen Münster:
"They put in a good performance in Fürth. It's a team that has a good structure and is consolidated within the squad because a large part of the promotion team has stayed together."
