Hannover 96: Victory after falling behind! Titz turns the game around!

On September 28, 2025, Hannover 96 won the important game against Arminia Bielefeld in the second Bundesliga 3-1 in an exciting duel. After a disappointing phase with two games without a win, the team was able to bounce back impressively under the leadership of coach Christian Titz, which noticeably improved the mood in the team.

However, Hannover initially trailed in the first half. An unfortunate own goal from Virgil Ghita in the 35th minute gave Bielefeld the lead, and at half-time the encounter seemed to be heading in an unpleasant direction. Nevertheless, the team didn't give up and came back strongly after the break. Husseyn Chakroun equalized in the 53rd minute, followed by a goal from Hayate Matsuda that gave Hannover the lead just two minutes later.

An important victory in the promotion season

In stoppage time, Boris Tomiak finally scored the final point when he safely converted a penalty kick to make it 3-1. This means that Hannover is now level on points with league leaders Darmstadt 98 and third-placed SV Elversberg. This result could mean the decisive step towards promotion, is the team's sixth consecutive season playing in the second division, marked by ambitions to return to the Bundesliga.

Christian Titz, who was recently hired as head coach, expressed satisfaction with his players' performance after the game. Titz, who had a successful season with Magdeburg before his time at Hannover, is now relying on the good team spirit and development of his team. His commitment came after the dismissal of André Breitenreiter, who had previously caused unrest in Hanover. The instability in the coaching position, which has been stressful in recent years, should now come to an end.

Titz’s track record and upcoming challenges

Titz, who worked successfully at Magdeburg in the past and formed an offensive that had the second-highest league record last season, brings a breath of fresh air to the team. His positive record of 76 wins in 168 games raises hopes of a turn for the best. Not only the statistics, but also the way Titz motivates the team is already having an impact.

The next challenge is on October 4, 2025, when Hannover has to play against SpVgg Greuther Fürth. The team needs continued strong performances to set its sights on promotion and justify the trust of fans and those in charge. With a good hand in training work and team spirit, this could definitely be successful. Sports director Ralf Becker is also optimistic and emphasizes Titz's ability to move the team forward.

As the season comes to a head, it remains to be seen whether Hannover 96 can carry the momentum from this game to collect the next points and whether promotion to the Bundesliga is actually possible. The team's commitment and cleverness will be crucial to survive in the second division and continue to delight the fans.
