FC Hansa Rostock scored a last-minute win in the last game of the year in the 3rd league. Coach Daniel Brinkmann’s team scored 1-0 (0-0) against Hannover 96 II. Christian Kinsombi became an FCH hero late on.
The substitute striker received a ball in the guests’ penalty area in the 90th minute, initially even missed the shot, but then shot with elemental force into the Hannover team’s goal from an acute angle. The 29,000 spectators, who had previously seen a completely disjointed and low-quality game, almost blew the roof off the Ostseestadion with their cheers.
FCH is in third place, four points behind
It hadn’t looked like it for a long time, the encounter hardly offered any footballing highlights. After the defeat the previous week in the eastern duel in Cottbus against coach Daniel Stendel’s strong team, the Rostock team was noticeably struggling, but there was often a problem with the last pass.
Thanks to Kinsombi’s first goal of the season, the “Kogge” moved up to eighth place and is now ten points ahead of Hannover in the first relegation place 17. The gap to Saarbrücken in third place is four points. The FCH starts the second half of the season on January 18th against VfB Stuttgart II (2 p.m., in the NDR Livecenter), the 96 youth team the day before against Erzgebirge Aue (7 p.m.).
Rostock with opportunities – and luck
Hansa got off to a better start in the northern duel after the game started with a little delay due to a minute’s silence for the victims of the attack on a Magdeburg Christmas market. Central defender Ahmet Gürleyen had the first good chance of the game after a corner. 96 striker Stefano Marino cleared his header off the line (4th).
Hannover fought its way into the game, but Mecklenburg remained more dangerous: Nils Fröling duped Hayate Matsuda on the right and headed towards the goal, his shot just past the left post (21′). Lucky in this situation for the Stendel team, but also lucky five minutes later for Rostock that a handball by Hansa striker Sigurd Haugen in their own penalty area was not punished. There is no video referee in the 3rd league who could have checked the scene and corrected referee Justin Hasmann’s decision.
Hansas Dirkner was led off the field injured
In terms of play, the game became more and more flat, with both teams acting too imprecisely. In the 35th minute, the encounter also had to be interrupted for several minutes: Rostock midfielder Jonas Dirkner went for a high ball in midfield, but didn’t see Hannover’s Robin Kalem coming behind him, hit his head against the shoulder of the 96 winger and twisted After landing on the ground, the right leg also hurts. He was led off the field with his knee heavily bandaged.
Symbolic of the overall tough kick: after a nice individual performance, Haugen fed Adrien Lebeau and started, but was then “shot down” by the Frenchman (40th).
Kinsombi makes the Ostseestadion shake
While the encounter in the cold Ostseestadion before the break was more for lovers of the more rustic game, just a quarter of an hour after the restart the game really didn’t offer anything warming apart from some tough duels between the penalty areas. Haugen had partial insight and artistically fired a shot with a side kick into the arms of 96-Kepper Leon Wechsel (59th). On the other side, Nick Stepantsev had a half-chance a minute later.
As unexpected as these two opportunities had come, the roundabout of fouls, long shots, technical inadequacies and bad passes continued unchanged. But when everyone had already prepared for a goalless draw, which was appropriate for the game, Kinsombi came and caused the Ostseestadion to shake.
