On Wednesday evening, it was test match time for teams from the Regionalliga West and the Oberliga. The overview.
In what is likely to be the last test game before the start of the competitive season, Alemannia Aachen suffered a defeat. The team, which is currently in second place in the Regionalliga West, lost 2-3 to Luxembourg’s first division team FC Wiltz 71 on Wednesday evening.
And that despite a 2-0 lead at half-time. Marc Brasnic scored twice for the team, managed by Heiner Backhaus (10th, 19th). But after conceding goals in the 61st, 66th and 80th minutes, TSV lost the game in the neighboring country. What this means for the league will be seen on February 3, when Alemannia starts their promotion campaign at Borussia Mönchengladbach’s U23 team.
The rest of the Regionalliga season begins for the U23 team of FC Schalke 04 this Saturday (2 p.m., RS liveticker). They will then be guests at Rot Weiss Ahlen. The Royal Blues were also unable to win their friendly game on Wednesday evening. Spvg Schonnebeck, who play in the Niederrhein-Oberliga, held the S04 talents to a 1-1 draw.
