Hamburg down to 10 men!
After a shot from Glatzel is blocked, Schonlau blocks of his man to stop Hannover breaking free. He's sent off for two bookable offences on what's been a tough night for HSV...

Now it's Hamburg on the offensive, and Hannover sitting back. There's another goal in this...

Lee effort
Lee shoots goalwards from a tight angle, but Heuer Fernandes is equal to it.
63'
Karabec has a good chance
Muheim manages to break through on the left side and free Karabec free. He goes for a curler, but doesn't trouble the goalkeeper.
54'
Selke!
He meets a corner at the back post, but can't direct his header on target. Big chance right there!

Ngankam again
Good ball into the box, but the Hannover forward gets his effort all wrong.
51'
Reaction needed
The Red Shorts have been very defensive so far. Will falling behind force them to come out of their shells?
49'
Ngankam style!
Ngankam dusts himself off and dispatches the penalty to give Hannover the lead!
48'
Selke booked for dissent
Selke complains about the foul and receives a yellow card.
47'
Penalty!
Hamburg are undone by another long ball, with Schonlau penalised for bringing down Ngankam. Big chance from the spot for the Reds...

HSV in the box
Hamburg with their first foray into the Hannover box as Karabec feeds Pherai, who fails to find the target.

Goalless at the break
Plenty of endeavour, but no real chances - save that disallowed Hannover goal. This one's finely poised...

Disallowed goal!
Hannover have the ball in the net, but it won't count. Rochelt is adjudged to have handled after receiving a long ball over the top and finishing over the goalkeeper.
30'
Ngankam key
Jessic Ngankam has been a constant threat for Hannover, but no one has been able to finish off his promising forays.
28'
Not happy
Unhappy with that decision, HSV coach Baumgart talks his way into the book.
28'
Unnecessary
Needless booking for Schonlau after an off-the-ball shove on Ngankam.
24'
Right idea!
Ngankam chases down a ball on the right-hand side and crosses towards Nielsen, who doesn't have the height to do anything with it.
21'
Dead-ball threat
Muheim whips the first set-piece into the box from a central position, but Zieler makes an easy claim.

Tidy defensive work
As against Cologne, the Red Shorts are defending very deep, patiently waiting for a chance to break forward.
15'
Good start to the match
The opening minutes belong to Hannover 96. The hosts are dominating the game so far. However, they are still lacking ideas in the final third.
13'
Injury break
Leopold stays down following a challenge. He's OK after some treatment, though.

The ball's rolling!
Hannover kick off, dressed in red. HSV are in their blue change strip.
Kick-off!
Three regulars missing
With Dompé, Jatta and Elfadli, three starters on the first two matchdays, are missing due to injury. In better news, star striker Robert Glatzel is on the bench for the first time this Bundesliga 2 season.
More on that HSV team
Just two changes from the 7-1 win over Meppen. Hadžikadunić replaces the injured Jatta, while Davie Selke makes his first start for the Red Shorts.
Leitl shuffles his pack
After the cup exit against Bielefeld, there are six changes straight. Zieler returns in goal, while Christiansen, Lee, Rochelt, Ngankam and Nielsen start for Knight, Gindorf, Kunze, Voglsammer and Tresoldi.
HSV starting line-up
Heuer Fernandes - Hefti, Hadžikadunić, Schonlau (c), Muheim - Meffert - Reis, Pherai - Karabec, Selke, Königsdörffer
