Hannover 96 secured a 1-0 victory over Arminia Bielefeld on the 24th matchday of the 2‑Bundesliga.
The decisive moment came in the 63rd minute when Enzo Leopold calmly finished a free‑kick. Bielefeld’s goalkeeper, Kersken, misjudged the shot’s trajectory and leapt into the wrong corner, allowing the ball to drop into the net.

As the game progressed, Hannover found their rhythm, increased their possession and created more chances. Despite the home side’s persistence, the visitors proved more efficient and held on for the narrow win.

In parallel, Holstein Kiel and SV Elversberg finished 1-1. Elversberg took the lead in the 61st minute when David Mokwa scored, but Kiel pulled one back just two minutes later through Jonas Therkelsen.
