Hansa Rostock in the test match: Dramatic 3-2 win against Wismar!

The 1,850 spectators saw an exciting football game on June 28, 2025 in the stadium in Wismar. The F.C. Hansa Rostock played against FC Anker Wismar in the second test match of the season and won 3-2 after an exciting match. Hansa showed signs of exhaustion from the first week of training right at the start of the game, but had to prevail in the end.

The start was promising for the Rostock team. In the 8th minute, Andreas Voglsammer scored a penalty after Ryan Naderi was fouled, giving the team an early lead. But FC Anker Wismar was undeterred: Jonas Hurtig took advantage of a lack of attention in the Hansa defense in the 17th minute and equalized with a deflected shot. Despite Rostock's continued dominant style of play, defensive problems remained noticeable.

Alternating half times

At halftime it was 2-2 after Paul Stock scored to make it 2-1 for Hansa shortly before the half-time whistle in the 45th minute, but Pascal Breier immediately equalized for Wismar (45th +2 minutes). Coach Patrick Glöckner used the second half to change his team almost completely and thus brought in fresh forces. Cedric Harenbrock gave Hansa the lead again in the 57th minute to make it 3-2, but the Rostock team missed numerous other chances. This refers to the attempts by Harenbrock (75th), David Hummel (81st, 85th) and Felix Ruschke (82nd).

Despite the oppressive superiority, Hansa was lucky when Wismar also missed a good opportunity to equalize - Nico Billep failed in the 77th minute. In the end, Hansa remains undefeated, albeit with a sore footballer's heart, and shows that the weather of the first weeks of the season leaves its mark.

Commitment beyond the field

Away from the game, the F.C. is involved. Hansa Rostock also for good causes. As part of the “24/7 fundraising run” in Wismar, the association made a cash donation of EUR 500, which will benefit sick and disadvantaged children and families in the region. The campaign, which lasts until July 12, 2024, encourages participants to donate EUR 0.50 for each lap of the stadium they complete.

Current situation in the 3rd league

After the test match, the F.C. Hansa Rostock is currently in 5th place in Germany's 3rd league. This season, out of a total of 38 games, they have won 18, drawn 6 and lost 14 (points: 60). They scored 54 goals and conceded 46 goals. Their statistics show that the offense is strong, while the defense is still causing problems, as yesterday's game against Wismar made clear.

The next test match for Hansa Rostock is scheduled for July 5th against Greifswalder FC. The fans can be curious to see whether the team can get the weak defense under control and stay on the road to success.
