Hannover have defeated Augsburg 2-1 in the Bundesliga thanks to a late penalty from Szabolcs Huszti.
Leon Andreasen tried to find his range early on, but his eighth-minute effort from outside to box was gathered comfortably by Alex Manninger.
Didier Ya Konan tried a snap-shot from a Sebastien Pocognoli cross, but was unable to direct his effort on target.
Raphael Holzhauser was then inches away from handing the visitors the lead with a fine free kick that fizzed just over the bar.
Ya Konan and Andreasen continued to look dangerous as the former shot just wide before the latter again tested Manninger.
In the second half the game came to life and it was the visitors who went ahead as Paul Verhaegh scored a penalty following a Salif Sane handball.
The lead lasted just nine minutes, however, as Artur Sobiech levelled the game from close range with an hour played.
Sane came close to snatching all three points for his side with a header that went narrowly wide, but it mattered little as Huszti stepped up to bury a late penalty to silence the away fans.
