📸 Match interrupted: Fans go all out at the Lower Saxony derby | OneFootball

Today, Eintracht Braunschweig has the chance to win away at Hannover 96 for the first time in many years. On the other hand, the players from the Lower Saxony state capital could really use three points in the tight promotion race. 

In the opening minutes, things already got pretty heated on the pitch here and there. Hannover has largely dominated the game so far and took the lead in the first half (30’). 

However, the very first highlights were provided by the 96 fans even before the official kickoff. 

The home supporters impressed with a huge choreography stretching across the entire fan curve and a banner reading: “Raise your fists, give it your all, we will be superior forever.” 

Plenty of pyrotechnics were also set off during the warm-up. 

Of course, the away section of the stadium is also well filled—just as you’d expect in a derby. Some smoke also rose from there, caused by yellow pyrotechnics. 

After the restart, both sets of fans gave it their all once again. Shortly after the beginning of the second half, the match was interrupted as both fan groups set off large-scale pyrotechnics and fireworks.

Due to the smoke, play could not continue at first. After about ten minutes, the game resumed. The score did not change until the final whistle, with the home side holding on for a narrow 1-0 victory.
