ROSTOCK, Germany (Interstat) — Hansa Rostock opened its 3. Liga season with a 2-1 victory over Erzgebirge Aue on Saturday at Ostseestadion, overcoming a late equalizer with a stoppage-time winner.

The match erupted with two goals in the final moments of the first half. Jonas Dirkner gave Rostock the lead in the 44th minute, but substitute Marcel Bär leveled for Aue just before halftime in the fourth minute of added time.

The game appeared headed for a draw, defying Rostock’s high pregame win probability, until Ryan Don Naderi scored the decisive goal in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time. Dirkner and substitute Louis Lord each recorded assists in the victory.

The physical contest featured seven yellow cards. Rostock begins the campaign 1-0-0, while Aue starts 0-0-1.
