Before the start of the new 2. Bundesliga season, many experts had them down as one of the favorites for promotion. But Hannover 96 made a real mess of their first two matches. A 1-3 defeat to Cottbus was followed by a 0-1 loss to Wolfsburg.
According to 'Sky', Christian ******* z's position as head coach was apparently seriously under threat ahead of the DFB-Pokal. But judging by the match against fifth-tier side SV Hemelingen, things should calm down a little again.
Hannover are clearly playing their frustration out of their system. After just 20 minutes, the struggling second-division side were already 5-0 up.
A brace from Thordarson as well as goals from Hartel, Gindorf, and Pichler had the 96ers celebrating.
This result could give them some momentum for their upcoming 2. Bundesliga fixtures and help things go better in the league as well. By now, the Lower Saxony side are even leading 6-0.

A pre-season friendly between German second-division newcomers Energie Cottbus and fourth-tier Halle was abandoned on Saturday due to racist remarks from the crowd.
Cottbus player King Manu was the subject of monkey noises and was verbally abused by fans at the ground in Finsterwalde in eastern Germany. He protested loudly against the insults.
Police arrived quickly and identified two Halle supporters before escorting them out of the stadium. Organizers then decided to abandon the match for safety reasons and over 3,000 fans dispersed.
A joint statement from the clubs read: "Today's friendly match between Energie Cottbus and Halle was abandoned following a racist incident involving a player from Energie Cottbus. There is no place for racism or discrimination in either club, neither on the pitch nor in the stands!"
