The friendly matches of the Bundesliga teams on July 15 at a glance:
Test matches: Schalke clearly beats Poldi-Klub
Second division club Schalke 04 put an exclamation mark at the end of the training camp. The Bundesliga relegated team won 5-0 (2-0) in Mittersill, Austria, against the Polish first division club Gornik Zabrze led by Rio World Champion Lukas Podolski.
Kenan Karaman (13′), Blendi Idrizi (32′), new signing Bryan Laasme (67′), U17 European Champion Assan Ouedraogo (79′) and Soichiro Kozuki (89′) scored the goals for S04. Podolski was in the starting lineup for the Poles.
Test matches: Freiburg loses Christian Günter with a broken arm
Christian Günter from SC Freiburg broke his right forearm in the friendly against Grasshoppers Zurich (6:1). Coach Christian Streich confirmed this after the final whistle: “Christian broke his arm and is to be operated on today, the doctors are taking care of him. However, we do not yet know whether it is a clean break or not. We really hope so , because then you could use plates.” The club confirmed the intervention in the evening via Twitter.
How long he will be out is still unclear. Streich: “If it’s a clean break, it wouldn’t be too bad. Of course it’s not good either, but it wouldn’t be a cruciate ligament tear.”
In the end, the result was just a side issue. Merlin Röhl (34th) and Nicolas Höfler (38th) scored for the Breisgauer in the first half. In the second half there were almost only U23 players on the pitch, the other goals were scored by Davino Knappe (53), Maximilian Breunig (66′), Jihan Lee (70′) and Noah Darvich (90’+3′). Filipe De Carvalho (63′) scored the consolation goal for the Grashoppers.
Test matches: Gladbach with Seoane debut with room for improvement
Borussia Mönchengladbach has not yet convinced at the premiere of its new coach Gerardo Seoane. In the first test match of the summer preparations, the five-time German champions did not get beyond a 1-1 (0-1) draw at FC Wegberg-Beeck, who have been promoted to the regional league.
In front of 3,000 spectators, left-back Lukas Ullrich, who had been relegated from the Bundesliga Hertha BSC, scored the only Gladbach goal. The additions Franck Honorat (Stade Brest) and Tomas Cvancara (Sparta Prague) were not there yet.
Test matches: Union is subject to Hungarian Cup winners
Union Berlin lost its second friendly this summer against Hungarian Cup winners Zalaegerszegi TE FC 2-3 (1-2). ZTE FC took the lead in the first minute with a goal from Máté Sajbán. Sajban later increased to 2:0 (28th). Shortly before the break, Unions Mikkel Kaufmann (45th) reduced the lead to 1: 2, but immediately after half-time Meshack Ubochioma (47th) restored the two-goal lead. Brenden Aaronson, who came on as a substitute in the middle of the second half, finally ensured the 2:3 final score from the point of view of the iron.
Coach Urs Fischer then drew a sober conclusion: “In the first half we simply made too many mistakes and lost the ball too often. In the second half we started better, but then we made another mistake. Then it’s 3: 1 and we saw that the opponents are almost ready to start the season.”
Test matches: too much pyrotechnics – Augsburg test canceled
The test of the Bundesliga soccer club FC Augsburg against Besiktas Istanbul was canceled after just 76 minutes in Kufstein, Austria. When the score was 1-1 (0-1), the referee asked the two teams into the dressing room after the Turkish supporters had once again ignited pyrotechnics and shot firecrackers onto the pitch.
Besiktas took the lead in the first half through Jackson Muleka (41st). In the 47th minute, the Istanbul fans then caused the first interruption, after a short break Frenchman Irvin Cardona (58th) scored the Augsburg equalizer. A little later, the Turks ignited again, and the encounter ended early.
