Energie Cottbus showcased a remarkable display of efficiency and composure in their 3-1 victory over FC Hansa Rostock. The early breakthrough by Cottbus set the tone for the match, with the away team's first goal coming just five minutes into the game. This early lead allowed Energie Cottbus to dictate the pace, resulting in their second goal by the 19th minute. Their ability to capitalize on limited opportunities, with only two corner kicks, highlights their clinical approach.

FC Hansa Rostock struggled to match Energie Cottbus's early scoring momentum, evident from their inability to find the back of the net until the second half. Despite having more corner kicks, seven in total, Rostock failed to translate these set-piece opportunities into goals. Their solitary goal in the second half provided a glimmer of hope, but was not enough to overturn the substantial lead established by Cottbus.

Discipline issues were apparent in the home team's performance, with Rostock accumulating more fouls and receiving a crucial red card that hindered their comeback efforts. While they received fewer yellow cards overall, the red card was a pivotal moment in disrupting any rhythm they had managed to build. Cottbus, on the other hand, maintained discipline with fewer fouls and controlled aggression, reflected by only three fouls and two yellow cards, allowing them to maintain their structure and composure throughout the match. This strategic control was a decisive factor in securing their victory.
