Wednesday evening was test match time for teams from the Regionalliga West and the Oberliga. The overview.

Alemannia Aachen conceded a defeat in what is likely to be the last test match before the start of the competitive season. The second-placed team in the Regionalliga West lost 2:3 to Luxembourg first division side FC Wiltz 71 on Wednesday evening.

And that despite leading 2:0 at the break. Marc Brasnic had scored twice for coach Heiner Backhaus’ team (10th, 19th). But after conceding goals in the 61st, 66th and 80th minutes, TSV let the game slip from their grasp in the neighboring country. What this means for the league campaign will become clear on February 3. That’s when Alemannia start their mission for promotion at Borussia Mönchengladbach U23.

This Saturday (2 p.m., RS live ticker) marks the start of the regional league round for FC Schalke 04’s U23s, when they host Rot Weiss Ahlen. The Royal Blues were also unable to win their test match on Wednesday evening. Lower Rhine Oberliga side Spvg Schonnebeck held the S04 talents to a 1-1 draw. Thorben Kern put the visitors from Essen ahead in the 60th minute. The equalizer followed through Joey Müller (76′).

Schalke’s opening opponents Ahlen were also in action on Wednesday against an Oberliga team, namely Türkspor Dortmund from the Westfalen-Staffel. And RWA concluded their preparations with a sense of achievement. Björn Joppe’s team won 3:2 against the fifth division top club. After Ahlen took the lead (26′), Ilias Anan turned the game in the Dortmund visitors’ favor with a brace (28′, 48′). But Ahlen struck back (55., 77.).

SG Wattenscheid defeats Wacker Obercastrop

In the afternoon, 1. FC Düren already gained confidence for the rest of the season. The FCD won 4:2 at FSV Frankfurt from the south-west division. Yannik Schlösser (5, 26) and new signing Simon Breuer (40) had already opened up a clear lead at the break. Romeo Aigbekaen (80) increased the lead to 1:3 (68) before FSV scored the final goal with a penalty in the final minute.

SG Wattenscheid 09 celebrated a win on Wednesday after two draws in their last test matches. Engin Yavuzaslan’s team won 3:1 at Westfalenliga side Wacker Obercastrop.

The score was 1:1 at half-time. Wacker’s Brightney Igbinadolor had equalized the lead shortly before half-time through Wattenscheid’s Nico Thier (19). Serhat Kacmaz (47) and Felix Casalino (57) put the Oberliga club in the lead in the second half.
