Hansa Rostock celebrates after a 2-1 win over 1860 Munich in the Ostseestadion!

In the Ostseestadion in Rostock on September 17, 2025, the Hansa kickers set out to win against TSV 1860 Munich and were rewarded with a 2-1 win. After three games without a three-pointer in the 3rd league, the Rostock team did really good business. In front of 24,303 spectators they showed an impressive performance, which was characterized by dominance, especially in the first round. In this first half, the Hansa players left no doubt as to who held the reins.

The guests from Munich didn't really get into the game. Captain Franz Pfanne fired the first shot on goal for Hansa in the 2nd minute, followed by a shot off the post by Emil Holten in the 6th minute. Maximilian Krauß and Viktor Bergh also had their chances, but the ball just didn't want to go into the net until it finally worked in the 31st minute. Benno Dietze, a real young star, made it 1-0, and just three minutes later Krauß made it 2-0 after Dietze put him through perfectly. It was a deserved lead at halftime, as Rostock had clearly gained the upper hand, as ndr.de reports.

Urgent phase for Munich

In the second half the tide turned a little when the guests improved noticeably. Coach Daniel Brinkmann had previously made two changes to the starting line-up, and the Munich team responded with a triple substitution, including Sigurd Haugen. 1860 Munich was now pushing for the next goal and was much more active. Despite Munich's best efforts, Hansa Rostock's defense remained stable and only allowed two goals in the last five games, which speaks for their defensive security.

But in the 89th minute the time had come: Sean Dulic reduced the score to 2-1. However, Rostock defended unconditionally and withstood the pressure until the sixth minute of added time. The victory was therefore certain for Hansa Rostock, which made the fans and the team breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

A look into the future

With this success behind them, Hansa Rostock will now face Rot-Weiss Essen next Saturday at 2 p.m., where they want to take the momentum with them. The game will be broadcast live on TV on NDR. The team line-ups were as follows: Hansa Rostock started with Uphoff in goal and a defensive line made up of Pfanne, Gürleyen and Carstens. Mejdr, Dietze, M. Schuster and Bergh were active in midfield, while Krauß, Harenbrock and Holten played in the offensive. On the Munich side, Dähne stood in goal, supported by Dulic, Verlaat and Voet in defense and an offensive line-up with Rittmüller, Christiansen and T. Jacobsen, among others.

In conclusion, it can be said that with this fantastic performance, Hansa Rostock not only celebrated their first home win of the season, but was also able to regain the self-confidence to face the next challenges strengthened. Further details about the game can be found at Nordkurier and Kicker.
