Romanian defender Virgil Ghiță returned to the starting lineup for Hannover 96 in their 2. Bundesliga match against Karlsruher SC. Playing in central defense, Ghiță played 76 minutes before being substituted for Ime Okon.

The match at the Heinz von Heiden Arena ended in a 2-2 draw. Hannover 96 took the lead twice through Lars Gindorf and Marcel Hartel, but Karlsruher SC responded with goals from Shio Fukuda and Rafael Pinto Pedrosa to secure a point.
