SV Ried triumphs over Cottbus! 2: 1 in the gripping test game

Ried im Innkreis, Österreich - What's in Ried? An exciting news from the Innviertel Arena! SV Oberbank Ried was able to achieve a remarkable victory against the traditional German FC Energie Cottbus in the penultimate test game before the competitive game kick-off in the ÖFB Cup. In front of around 1,400 spectators: The match ended 2-1 for the home team, which was able to present itself properly in shape. In this last phase of the season preparation, where every minute counts, this success was an important step for the team.

The course of the game was exciting: Mark Grosse gave Ried 1-0 in the 31st minute before Erik Engelhardt for Cottbus equalized just ten minutes later. In the second half, the decisive goal was hit in the 63rd minute - Antonio van Wyk secured the victory for the Rieder. Overall, the home team had several chances in the first half to expand their leadership, but failed due to the compact defense of the guests.

anticipation for the coming season

The test game took place as part of the season opening, just a week before the big competitive start. Team and trainers can be satisfied with the services shown, especially since the team acted in a 3-5-2-1 system. Goalkeeper Andreas Leitner and the defense series with Oliver Steurer, Sollbauer and Havenaar caused stability, while the midfield around Wernitznig and Mayer could set great accents in conjunction with the strikers and van Wyk.

referee Armin Dukic led the game and did not have much reason to complain. Cottbus had hardly any offensive actions in the second round and ultimately had to give up the stronger playing style of the Rieder.

The competition does not sleep

The other Austrian teams have also played some test games in the past few days. So WSG Tirol lost 1: 2 against Al-Ahli SFC, with new signing Thomas Sabitzer scored the only goal for the Tyrolean. SCR Altach also did not get away well and had to give up SC Freiburg 0: 3. In another game, Freiburg played in four times 30 minutes, which was a special challenge for the players.
