Pascal Breier: The former Hansa star inspires with a goal for Anker Wismar

Pascal Breier, a name well known to many football fans at Hansa Rostock, recently drew attention in a test match for his new club, FC Anker Wismar. On June 26, 2025, an exciting duel between the two teams took place in the Kurt Bürger Stadium, which ended with a narrow 3-2 win for Rostock. With 1,850 spectators, the atmosphere in the stadium was great, and after his move to Anker Wismar in August 2024, Breier showed that he still has a flair for goals.

The center forward, 1.85 m tall and 33 years old, scored the 2-2 equalizer in stoppage time in the first half. Previously, Andreas Voglsammer had given Hansa Rostock the lead with a penalty kick in the 7th minute, followed by Jonas Hurtig's equalizer for Wismar in the 17th minute. Paul Stock gave Rostock the lead again just before half-time, but Breier's goal ensured the teams went into the locker room with a draw. Cedric Harenbrock finally made the decision for Rostock in the 57th minute.

New club, old rivalry

The encounter was not just a football game, but also a small reunion for Breier and his former Hansa teammate Philipp Klewin, both of whom have a common past at VfB Lübeck. The two teased each other during the game, which further lightened up the duel. Breier has played 158 competitive games for Hansa Rostock until August 2023, in which he scored 65 goals. This makes him a fan favorite who thrilled the audience in Rostock with his performance and commitment. It's no wonder that he left behind many friends at Hansa who celebrated him properly.

Breier, whose contract with Anker Wismar runs until June 30, 2025, quickly found his place in the team. Even though the focus should be on the next game, he was happy with the effort of his new teammates and wants to continue his good performances.

Football history in Rostock

The Ostseestadion, where the test match took place, has a long and impressive history. Since its inauguration in 1954, it has repeatedly witnessed major games and events. FC Hansa Rostock, which emerged from SC Empor Rostock in 1965, has experienced many ups and downs, including promotions and relegations as well as thrilling duels in the first Bundesliga. The club's recent developments have been mixed, with relegation to the 3rd division following a difficult 2023/2024 season after the Hansa women's first team successfully defended their title.

The combination of Breier's return and the traditional stadium ensures that those interested in football in Rostock and the surrounding area are looking forward to the upcoming games. The next few months will show how the team performs under pressure and whether Breier can further develop his well-practiced skills at Anker Wismar.

In summary, this test match shows once again that football remains unpredictable and brings back memories. Anker Wismar and Hansa Rostock, two clubs with a rich history, can look forward to further exciting duels. Whether on or off the pitch, Breier will certainly continue to make fans' hearts beat faster, be it in Wismar or Rostock.
