Hansa Rostock wins a thrilling duel against Mannheim 1-0!

In front of 25,600 happy spectators, the Waldhof team defeated Mannheim 1-0, impressively demonstrating that they want to play a serious role this season.

David Hummel had a great opportunity, but it was brilliantly saved by Mannheim goalkeeper Lucien Hawryluk. Things picked up pace in the second half. With a courageous line-up and fresh forces, Hansa took more and more control. The yellow-red card for Tim Sechelmann from Mannheim in the 63rd minute was particularly crucial and tipped the game in Rostock's favor.
Although Hansa Rostock posed more of a goal threat and missed several chances, including another chance from Hummel, they were ultimately rewarded in the 78th minute. Schuster fired a shot that, with a bit of luck, was deflected unstoppably for Hawryluk. In the final phase, Hansa defended their narrow lead brilliantly, even in seven minutes of stoppage time.
