Hansa Rostock triumphs in the test match: 3-2 against Greifswalder FC!

Hansa Rostock fans are really looking forward to the new season. On July 5, 2025, the team showed their skills in the third test match of the summer preparation when they won 3-2 against Greifswalder FC. In front of a crowd of 2,473 spectators, 17-year-old Bennet Schulz laid the foundation for the victory by scoring for Rostock in the 10th minute. This was not only his first goal in the professional team, but also a clear sign of the talent's promising future.

But the game was anything but a walk in the park. Greifswalder FC fought back and equalized in the 20th minute through Soufian Benyamina. Rostock's Andreas Voglsammer took control of the game again in the 23rd minute, but the Rostock team had difficulties in switching, which gave Greifswald the opportunity to get dangerously in front of the goal again and again. Another excitement was the chance from Theos Harz, who had the chance to equalize in the 30th minute, but missed it.

A second team and exciting changes

In the second half, Hansa changed almost the entire team to bring fresh players onto the pitch. Greifswald managed to equalize again in the 50th minute through Mc Moordy King Hüther. But luck was on Rostock's side when Mike Eglseder scored an own goal in the 57th minute and secured the victory.

The lineups of both teams were interesting to watch. Hansa Rostock started with: Uphoff, Mejdr, Pfanne, Gürleyen, Schulz, Neidhart, Schuster, Stock, Lebeau, Krohn, and Voglsammer in the first half, while Schwarz, Gebuhr and Harenbrock were used in the second half. Greifswalder FC relied on Jakubov, Farr, Eglseder, Eder, Wagner and Benyamina, among others.

An outlook on the 2025/26 season

The win against Greifswald fits well into Hansa Rostock's summer schedule, which has some interesting highlights in store. The first public training date took place on June 23, 2025. The training camp in Neuruppin will be held from July 7th to 13th, 2025, followed by a friendly against VSG Altglienicke on July 12th.
