SVWW concede 0:1 against Rostock
SVWW hosted FC Hansa Rostock on matchday 30 and suffered a bitter 1-0 defeat in the duel for the title, which probably means the end of all promotion ambitions. The season continues on Easter Sunday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. at Alemannia Aachen.
Home game against Hansa Rostock lost 0:1
SVWW coach Daniel Scherning made two changes to his starting lineup following the 0-0 draw at 1860 Munich, bringing in Hübner—returning from suspension—and Kalem in place of Neubert and Johansson. The match got off to a disheartening start, as the visitors were awarded a highly controversial penalty just four minutes in following a possible foul by Hübner, and Fatkic confidently converted it to make it 0-1. But SVWW threw a lot of energy into the game, though Gillekens (11th minute), as well as Flotho and Kaya (both 25th minute), either missed their chances or were disrupted just in time. For Hansa, goal scorer Fatkic missed a chance just shy of the half-hour mark. And in the 45th minute, Hübner was roughly stopped in the Hansa penalty area by former Wiesbaden player Carstens, but no penalty was called. The teams went into halftime with the score 0-1.
The second half began much more calmly, with scoring chances few and far between as the visitors from the Baltic Sea held their ground defensively. In the 65th minute, the referee made another unfortunate call, sending off the Rostock player with a red card following a foul by Carstens on Hübner. In the 68th minute, Fechner hit the crossbar of the Hansa goal. And in the 79th minute, Schleimer missed, and time was running out for SVWW. And when Schleimer once again carelessly squandered a golden opportunity in stoppage time, the 0-1 defeat was sealed. SVWW has now fallen behind the leading pack, and promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga has become a distant prospect.
