Hansa Rostock celebrates its first away win in Aue in 57 years!

In football, it is often a real art to get back up from past setbacks and celebrate success. This feat has now been achieved for FC Hansa Rostock: after 57 years, the club achieved the longed-for victory in Aue, which was of great importance not only for the team, but also for the fans. Last Saturday, the Hanseatic League beat FC Erzgebirge Aue 2-1 and ended their losing streak.

The encounter was scheduled under special circumstances, as Hansa was behind on further victories in the previous second half of the season. With a first point from the away game against Dynamo Dresden and the victory in Aue, the team seems to have finally arrived in the 3rd league. Rostock captain Franz Pfanne, who played in Aue from the start, was particularly happy with the outcome of the game. "It's shit for you. You always want to play, especially as captain," he said and at the same time expressed satisfaction with the team's performance.

The course of the game in Aue

The match didn't start well for Hansa, as the Auer took the lead early on with a goal from Kilian Jakob. But the equalizer came soon afterwards when Sigurd Haugen made it 1-1. This turn of events brought a breath of fresh air into the game for the Hanseatic League, who appeared brave in the second half. In the first minute of injury time, it was attacker Ahmet Gürleyen who scored the much celebrated winning goal with a header from a corner.

Coach Bernd Hollerbach praised his team's performance. "You don't get them casually in Aue. They're a really good team." He was happy that his team was able to overcome the challenges, which were made particularly difficult by the space available. The Au team presented Hansa with some tricky situations, but the team knew how to counter them.

The return of captain Franz Pfanne was particularly pleasing, as he was able to regain his place after several games on the substitutes' bench. “It’s just exciting to get a win like this with the boys,” he said and was pleased about the team dynamic that had grown in the last few weeks. The pressure of having to prove himself again motivated him to do his best. “I kept pushing and I’m glad we won,” said Pfanne.

Outlook and analysis

With the win against Aue, Hansa Rostock not only collected important points, but also gained new self-confidence. “Standards are one of our weapons,” noted Pfanne, underlining the strength that the team shows in the area of ​​standard situations. Hollerbach will now use the upcoming international break to further strengthen the team and plan the upcoming challenges in the league. “We have 16 or 17 new signings,” explained the coach, adding that the team's performance in recent games had been promising, despite the need to deliver results. “We will continue to work with concentration,” he assured.
