VfB Stuttgart won its DFB-Pokal match against Hansa Rostock with a score of 4-0. The newly signed striker Dzenan Pejcinovic scored three goals, making an impressive debut for his new team. Pejcinovic had transferred from Wolfsburg to VfB for 25 million euros and was able to showcase his skills in this match.

The game took place this evening in Rostock and marked the first matchday of the DFB-Pokal. Third-division side Hansa Rostock hosted the match but had no chance against the strong performance of the Stuttgart team.

According to reports, the game was characterized from the outset by a clear superiority of the visitors, who managed to dominate the proceedings. Hansa must look back on a bitter evening, unable to challenge the cup winners from 2025.
