In this 3. Liga clash, FC Hansa Rostock emerged victorious with a comprehensive 4-1 win over Erzgebirge Aue. The home team set the tone early, scoring inside the first three minutes, which highlighted their aggressive start and intent. The statistical dominance of Rostock was most evident in their clinical finishing, as they netted four goals with minimal reliance on set pieces, evidenced by having no corner kicks throughout the match.

Despite Erzgebirge Aue managing to equalize shortly after Rostock's opener, their inability to capitalize on their six corner kick opportunities was telling. This inefficiency was compounded by their lack of synergy in defensive set-pieces, which led to conceding two more goals within the first half. Rostock's defensive organization was commendable, managing the same number of fouls as Aue but maintaining a more disciplined structure, preventing any goals from set plays against them.

Team cohesion and tactical execution were defining factors in this match. Rostock's ability to convert opportunities swiftly into goals, particularly the killer third goal towards the latter end of the first half, showcased their superior teamwork and decisive playmaking. Aue's performance was marred by an ineffective forward line that struggled to find space, remaining offside once compared to Rostock's two. Furthermore, both sides received two yellow cards each, but it was Rostock’s disciplined response to these cautions that contributed to maintaining their momentum and control, resulting in a decisive second-half closure with a fourth goal at the 85th minute.
