Plenty of goals on the Diadora weekend

A wonderful weekend for Diadora’s football teams Hannover96 and Valenciennes that earned important victories and improved their championship position.

Hannover96 scored three goals in the last six minutes to secure an away win over struggling Hansa Rostock. Hannover96 wasted numerous chances in the first 20th minutes as it snapped a two-match losing streak, the best of them an 11th minute Fahrenhorst header that Rostock defender Tobias Rathgeb cleared off the line. However, before the end of the match, Fahrenhorst, Hanke and Stajner made the team move up to sixth place in the Bundesliga and leave Rostock hovering perilously close to the relegation zone. In French Ligue 1 action on Saturday Valenciennes continued their unbeaten home run with a comfortable 3-0 win over Rennes that continue to slip down the table after a fourth straight league defeat.Savidan got the ball rolling on 12 minutes when his powerful 30-yard free-kick deflected past Simon Pouplin in the Rennes goal. Sebastien Roudet could have doubled the hosts advantage four minutes later but saw his effort roll across an empty net with no-one on hand to turn the ball home. Pujol made it two in the 65th minute when Savidan's shot deflected into his path before the French striker dribbled past Petter Hansson and placed a clever finish past Pouplin. Pujol put the result beyond doubt 15 minutes from time when he tucked away the rebound after Pouplin spilled a Filip Sebo shot. Sebo's opportunity had been created by some good work on the right wing by Djamel Belmadi.
