AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Max Marie settled the contest's opening goal in the 17th minute, putting Braunschweig 1-0 ahead, and that was the score at half-time. Hannover, managed by Sandro Wagner, had slightly more of the ball over the 90 minutes with 52 per cent possession, and they put six shots on target to the hosts' four, but could not find a way through.
The game stayed open until deep into stoppage time, when Yann Sturm, set up by S. Di Benedetto, scored in the 90+2 minute to make it 2-0 and end any hope of a Hannover recovery. Braunschweig's home side under Lars Kornetka had won just one of their previous five home games, so the clean sheet and the points were welcome ones.

Yann Sturm earned the highest rating of the match, 8.2, for his 90+2 minute goal that made it 2-0. Max Marie was close behind on 8.13 after scoring the opener in the 17th minute.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Eintracht Braunschweig 32%, the draw 24%, Hannover 96 44%. It finished Eintracht Braunschweig 2–0 Hannover 96.
Hannover's stronger rating gives them the edge — Hannover 96 lead mainly because our strength rating has them 150 points higher, 1473 to 1323, and their recent cold spell in front of goal adds a little, since streaks like that have tended to bounce back. The draw starts near 28% for a gap this size, then drops to 24% because both sides' recent games average 3.6 goals and that finishing streak trims it further.
Why Hannover 96 at 44%?
Hannover 96 sit 150 points higher on our strength rating — 1473 to 1323. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.8% of 14,806 such games. Hannover 96 sit -0.49 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back.
