Hull City have held Bundesliga side Hannover to a goalless draw in their latest pre-season outing.

Things got off to a slow start at the Alois Latini Stadium, but Felix Klaus was able to shrug off Andrew Robertson to fire away the game's first shot.

The Tigers' first opening came 10 minutes before the interval when Tom Huddlestone picked out Michael Dawson from a corner kick, which the centre-back fired straight at Ron-Robert Zieler between the sticks.

It was Hannover who came closest to finding a first-half breakthrough, however, as Kenan Karaman's volley forced Allan McGregor into making a top-class save.

Zieler was able to deny Sone Aluko's attempt as the Championship outfit pressed for a way through, but clear-cut chances proved to be few and far between.

As the contest edged into the final 15 minutes Klaus saw another attempt fly wide of goal, before Harry Maguire wasted a decent headed opportunity late on.

The stalemate ensures that City maintain their unbeaten run in pre-season, with two more games still to play.
