Pascal Köpke scored the first goal for Nürnberg in the 34th minute, then Duman added another in the 63rd minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Hansa Rostock couldn’t manage to score, and Nürnberg took the shutout win. Hansa Rostock looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.

Simon Terodde scored the first goal for Schalke 04 in the 42nd minute, then Simon Terodde added another in the 49th minute on a feed from Mehmet-Can Aydin In the end, Hansa Rostock was frustrated by Schalke 04’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.
