Hansa Rostock unleashes joy: Strong 4-2 away win in Cologne!
Another victory, a fiery performance and suddenly the euphoria is back at Hansa Rostock. After the 4-2 away win against Viktoria Köln, the Hafenstadt team climbed to a solid 12th place in the table. This match was not only the first away win of the season, but also the second success in a row. It seems as if Hansa is now trying to catch up in the 2nd Bundesliga.
In the first half, Kenan Fatkic and Ryan Naderi laid the foundation for success together. Naderi gave Rostock the lead with two goals in the 20th and 24th minutes. Viktoria Köln was able to shorten the score shortly afterwards with a penalty from Lex-Tyger Lobinger (36th minute), but that didn't make Rostock's attack any less impressive. Fatkic restored the old gap in the second half with two more goals (50th, 55th minute) before Lobinger was able to convert again from the spot in the 90th minute.
The strong support and the team feeling
Goalkeeper Benjamin Uphoff, who also had to accept two penalty goals in Cologne, is confident: "The table after twelve rounds reflects the qualities of our team. We definitely want to continue to catch up." Head coach Daniel Brinkmann also praised the strong team performance and emphasized that they have not yet reached their desired goal. He is hoping for further success and is satisfied with his boys' performance.
The Hansa Rostock team now has 17 points and is only five points behind their nearest opponents, SC Verl, who are in third place with 22 points. On November 1st there will be the next opportunity to hunt for points against the strong losers in the Ostseestadion. Other upcoming matches include SSV Ulm, 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and Jahn Regensburg.
A look at the last games
Hansa Rostock's performance is promising: the team has not only won twice in a row, but has also been unbeaten in three games. This is significant progress considering that there were previously a number of negative series that had to be averted, including the invincibility of Viktoria Köln in the Cologne Sportpark Höhenberg. With a consistent starting eleven, the team is able to settle in, which seems to be an important success factor.
The question is: Can Hansa Rostock keep this momentum going? The next game against SC Verl could be the decisive blow. The fans are excited to see whether their team will continue to catch up. You can find more information and statistics about Hansa Rostock at kicker.de, bild.de and nordkurier.de.
