In the third-to-last game of the Regionalliga Nord season, Hannover 96’s U23s met Kickers Emden. While Hannover wanted to attack fifth place, Emden arrived with a strong series behind them and had their sights clearly set on making it to the top third of the table.

Hannover turned the game around before the break through van den Heuvel from distance and Vogel after a free finish to make it 2-1. After the break, Emder came back into the game and equalized through Theo Schröder, who punished the hosts’ mistake in the build-up to make it 2-2. Shortly afterwards there was a foul penalty, which Kickers legend Tido Steffens safely converted. The East Frisians were able to maintain a 3-2 lead over time. Now there are only four points left in 5th place. A reconciliatory end after the horror start? __________________________ 0:1 Nick Stepantsev (3rd) 1:1 Tim van den Heuvel (23rd) 2:1 Alexander Vogel (33rd) 2:2 Theo Schröder (54th) 2:3 Tido Steffens (62nd) FE __________________________ Lineups: 🟢⚫️ Hannover 96 U23: Jonas Schwanke – Manuel Braun – Ilias Ebnoutalib – Noah Engelbreth – Alexander Vogel – Mustafa Abdullatif – Anton Lange – Montell Chinonso Ndikom – Tim van den Heuvel – Tom Hobrecht – Mark Gevorgyan Trainer – Daniel Stendel 🔵⚪️ Kickers Emden: Luca Petzold – Felix Göttlicher – Peer Julius Mahncke – Kai Sotirios Kaissis – Michael Chukwuemeka Igwe – Marten Heiko Schmidt – Theo Schröder – Tido Steffens – Dennis Engel – Emanuel Adou – Nick Stepantsev Coach – Stefan Emmerling __________________________ Referee: Jan-Lukas Meyer Stadium: Eilenriedestadion Spectators: 200 Thumbnail: 96/Kühne
