Key Takeaways
- Hannover 96 remain in third place after a 3-3 draw with Preußen Münster on Sunday
- Captain Jorrit Hendrix scored in the 93rd minute to rescue a point for the relegation-threatened visitors
- Mustapha Bundu netted twice for Hannover as they fought back from two goals down
Hannover 96 dropped crucial points in their promotion bid after sharing six goals with basement side Preußen Münster on Sunday afternoon. The hosts remain unbeaten in their last eight league matches, but this result feels like a defeat for manager Christian Titz.
The Lower Saxony club climbed to third position in the 2. Bundesliga table. However, they missed the opportunity to leapfrog into the automatic promotion places when Jorrit Hendrix found the net deep into added time.
Münster’s skipper gave his strugglers a lifeline with that dramatic strike. Yet the visitors remain five points adrift of safety after failing to secure a victory in their previous eight fixtures.
The match looked bleak for Hannover when they fell two goals behind early on. Mustapha Bundu changed the momentum with a quick-fire double just before the interval. Stefan Thordarson then put the home side ahead, seemingly securing all three points until the late twist.
Hannover will face VfL Bochum and 1. FC Nürnberg in the coming weeks. Both opponents have little left to fight for this season. Meanwhile, Münster face SV Darmstadt 98 and SV Elversberg, though even maximum points may not prevent automatic relegation.
