Hannover 96 has suffered a setback in the promotion race of the 2nd Football Bundesliga. After four wins, the Lower Saxons only managed a 0:0 draw against the relegation-threatened SG Dynamo Dresden. They also lost their defensive chief Boris Tomiak in the 75th minute with a serious injury. According to initial information from his coach Christian Titz, the defender dislocated his left shoulder. Despite the draw, Titz's team still has a good chance of returning to the top league with two points behind the relegation spot. The guests from Saxony are still in great danger as the second-to-last team in the table. For a long time, there was no visible difference in performance between the promotion and relegation candidates in front of 40,300 spectators. The Dresdner team was safe in defense during the constant rain and repeatedly set accents going forward. Only shortly before the break did Hannover 96 increase the pressure. There were hardly any scoring opportunities on either side. In the second half, the hosts increased the pressure. Above all, Elias Saad caused increasing unrest in the Dynamo defense. But the fiercely strong Dresdner team defended themselves bravely over the entire playing time. They were lucky that there was no penalty after Alexander Rossipal's shirt pull against Hannover's Daisuke Yokota in the Dynamo penalty area. Hannover's best chance was missed by Boris Tomiak, who failed to score against the excellent Dresdner goalkeeper Tim Schreiber. Four minutes later, the 96 defensive chief was seriously injured in a collision with his goalkeeper Nahuel Noll and cried out in pain. The first brief information was that the shoulder was dislocated, said Hannover's coach Titz on Sky. Tomiak was initially treated on the field for minutes and carried off on a stretcher. The team doctors had put his arm back in, Titz said. The injury to Tomiak is a significant loss for Christian Titz's team. The defensive chief is one of the most important players for Hannover 96, and his absence will certainly be felt by the team. Despite the draw against Dresden, Hannover 96 is still on track for a return to the top league. The team has a two-point deficit to the relegation spot and must score points in the next games to not miss the chance of promotion. The Lower Saxons have several difficult games ahead of them, but with the right attitude and the support of the fans, they can achieve promotion.
