Tolcay Cigerci scored twice as Energie Cottbus came from behind to beat Hannover 96 3-1 in the 2. Bundesliga, with Marcel Lotka the standout player in goal, though no next fixture is set. The home side trailed at the break but turned the match on its head with three unanswered goals in the final half-hour.

Cigerci opened the scoring from open play in the 14th minute, but Maurice Neubauer levelled for Hannover 96 just before the half-hour mark. The visitors pushed hard after the restart, yet Cottbus struck decisively when Cigerci netted his second in the 71st minute, and Justin Butler sealed the win five minutes later with an assist from Luca Erlein.

Hannover 96 controlled the numbers, holding 54% possession, firing 25 shots to Cottbus’s 12, and posting an xG of 2.73 against the home side’s 1.38, yet they were outplayed in the second half as Cottbus turned the tide with 53% possession and an xG of 0.99. Marcel Lotka earned his 9.7 rating as goalkeeper, the highest on the pitch, anchoring a comeback that defied the underlying flow.
