SV Elversberg lost their first home game. The promoted team conceded two more goals after 100 minutes against Hansa Rostock in the 2nd Bundesliga. Carlos Sickinger’s goal (56th) had made Elversberg dream of victory for a long time. Ironically, Juan Jose Perea scored twice for Hansa Rostock – in the 100th and 103rd minute of the game. The striker had only been signed the day before.
In a lively encounter, both teams acted at eye level for a long time in the first half. Shortly before the change of sides, Elversberg just missed the lead. Sickinger only hit the bar after a corner from around ten meters (45th).

The central defender did better after the break. After another corner, Sickinger scored a well-deserved lead. As a result, Elversberg stood defensively for a long time and fended off most of the guests’ attacks.
The supposed decision in injury time for Elversberg didn’t count. Wahid Faghir ran into the penalty area too early when Jannik Rochelt missed a penalty. That took revenge a little later, and Perea brought the Rostockers the second win of the season, which was no longer thought possible.
