Hottmann netted twice before halftime, then added two more in the second half, finishing with a brace inside the opening five minutes of the second period. Oscar Schönfelder opened the scoring in the 12th minute for Regensburg, which improved to 11 wins, 12 losses and 5 draws in league play.

Rostock, which fell to 16 wins, 7 losses and 8 draws in the 3. Liga, answered with goals from Christian Kinsombi in the 51st minute and Leopold Wurm in the 56th minute. But Hottmann’s fourth goal in the 87th minute sealed the victory for the visitors.

Florian Carstens, a defender for Regensburg, recorded one assist. Forward David Hummel and substitute Andreas Geipl each also had one assist for Regensburg.

Hummel was cautioned in the 74th minute. Adrian Fein and Christian Kühlwetter both received yellow cards in the 77th minute, and Geipl was booked in first-half stoppage time.

Regensburg entered the game on a three-match winless streak in all competitions, having lost 3-1 at home to Alemannia Aachen on April 17 and drawn 2-2 at 1860 München II on April 12.
