Creepy derby defeat: Hannover 96 embarrassed in Braunschweig!

In football there are sometimes games that provide great emotions, and the ghost derby between Eintracht Braunschweig and Hannover 96 became the best example. On October 6, 2024, the two arch -rivals met in Braunschweig, but under extremely special conditions that clearly influenced the mood.

Due to strict editions by Lower Saxony Interior Minister Daniela Behrens, fans of both teams were forced to severely restrict their support. Only about 700 followers of Hanover were on site, while Eintracht fans did without the usual support from solidarity. This meant that the atmosphere in the stadium in phases was almost ghostly.

The course of the game

The game started brilliant for the home side. In the 20th minute, Fabio Kaufmann used a serious defensive error by Marcel Halstenberg to bring the Braunschweiger in the lead with a precise shot. The ball landed in the right top right corner - a perfect hit that made the few fans present cheer.

The lawn presented itself in poor condition, which impaired the way of playing both teams. Braunschweig dominated the game, while Hannover 96 did not find the necessary access to turn the game. Another glimmer of hope for Hanover came in the 70th minute when Bartek Wdowik missed a great chance that could have tipped the game.

But while on the one hand little, apart from the defensive uncertainty, Eintracht showed with a passionate game that it kept the upper hand over the rival. Even when the substitute Sebastian Polter scored a goal in the 80th minute, it was canceled by the Var - a decision that caused further excitement in the stadium.

A concern of a concern occurred in the 73rd minute when Robin Krauße remained unconscious on the lawn after a collision with Andreas Voglsammer. Fortunately, Krauße finally went off the pitch independently, and the game continued without further interruptions.

in added time Rayan Philippe sealed the 2-0 victory for Braunschweig by converting a penalty. Muroya had previously violated the rules, which finally secured the lead. The cheers in the ranks were loud and impressive - the initial "ghost mood" was forgotten when the Braunschweiger celebrated the victory.

Hannover 96 remains without a winning away and sees itself under pressure in the promotion race. After the defeat it is unclear how the team will prepare for the upcoming games because it loses ground according to this result. However, the rivalry between the two clubs remains alive and will surely bloom again in the upcoming encounters, regardless of the circumstances they take place.
