The match between FC Hansa Rostock and TSV 1860 Munich was characterized by a dynamic first half, where Rostock capitalized on their chances to take an early lead. The home team scored twice in quick succession. Rostock's finishing ability was on display with these two goals coming just four minutes apart at 30:45 and 34:01. This burst of offensive efficiency set the tone for the match and ultimately made the difference.

TSV 1860 Munich struggled with discipline, accumulating a staggering six yellow cards, four in the first half and two in the second. This lack of composure under pressure was evident early, with three yellow cards picked up within the first 13 minutes. Their aggressive playstyle led to 14 fouls, indicating a strategy to disrupt Rostock’s momentum, but it ultimately backfired, as the team struggled to regain possession cleanly without fouling.

In contrast, Hansa Rostock maintained better discipline overall, receiving only one yellow card just before halftime, allowing them to focus on maintaining their lead without the hindrance of disciplinary issues. Despite having fewer corner kicks with only three compared to Munich's nine, Rostock's clinical finishing and strong defensive positioning helped them withstand Munich's attempts to change the game through set pieces.

Munich's second-half adjustments helped them score a goal at 88:44, showing improvement in their offensive execution. However, their inability to convert nine corner kicks into more decisive opportunities and their struggle with staying onside suggests a lack of cohesion in offensive build-up despite dominating set-piece situations. Rostock's ability to hold off Munich's late surge underlies their solid defensive teamwork, showing tactical discipline and effective communication throughout the match.
