Confirmed development
Hansa Rostock came from behind to defeat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at the Ostseestadion on 17 February 2001. Ulf Kirsten gave Leverkusen the lead in the 23rd minute, but Victor Agali equalised in the 45th. The teams therefore reached half-time level at 1-1 rather than with the visitors still in front.
Details
Steffen Baumgart scored Rostock's second goal in the 56th minute, completing the turnaround and providing the winner. The DFB match record and Leverkusen's official season history agree on the scoring sequence and attendance of 12,500. Martin Pieckenhagen and Pascal Zuberbuehler started in goal for Friedhelm Funkel's and Berti Vogts's respective sides.
Context and dates
Rostock had drawn 0-0 at Freiburg in the previous league round. Leverkusen had themselves completed a comeback in beating Cologne 4-1, but were on the losing side of a reversal here. Both Rostock goals are treated as stages of this single completed match report. The historical archive retains the exact match day, separate from the actual timestamp at which this original account was published.
