Werder made it a winning start to 2019 this afternoon when they beat Hannover 96 1-0. The Green-Whites put in a good performance, taking the game to the hosts and could have scored more goals. Rashica scored the winner in the first half, finishing after Harnik’s clever flick was saved.

Line-up and formation: Florian Kohfeldt made three changes from Werder’s last Bundesliga game in Leipzig, bringing Niklas Moisander, Nuri Sahin and Martin Harnik back into the side. Jiri Pavlenka started in goal, with Gebre Selassie, Langkamp, Moisander and Augustinsson in defence. Maximilian Eggestein, Davy Klaassen and Nuri Sahin played in midfield, with Milot Rashica, Max Kruse and Martin Harnik up top.

22 mins: Werder almost go in front! Sahin shoots after an unconvincing clearance from Hannover’s keeper and the ball rolls inches wide of the post.

27 mins: Rashica shoots on the volley but Esser is equal to his effort.

32 mins: GOOAALL for Werder – Milot Rashica! Max Kruse plays a brilliant ball forward to Eggestein who crosses for Harnik. The striker flicks the ball towards goal and Esser pulls off a great save to deny him, but Rashica is there to smash home the rebound!

43 mins: Werder almost 2-0 up but Eggestein hits the post from Gebre Selassie’s pass!

45+1 mins: Half time and the Green-Whites hold a deserved lead here at the HDI-Arena.

50 mins: Kruse picks out Rashica but Esser saves his effort.

75 mins: Hannover somehow break through one-on-one after a missed interception, but Pavlenka makes himself big and protects the lead for Werder!

77 mins: Again Rashica, again Esser! The two seem to be playing a game of their own at times today.

90+3 mins: Full time! Werder win the game and start the Rückrunde with a solid three points.

Match summary: The Green-Whites pick up a well-earned three points in Hannover. Werder had a lot more chances than the home side and really should have extended their lead, but they saw out some nervy moments and go home happy!
