Schwabmünchen vs SSV Ulm 1846

The match started with a shock for the Regionalliga side. Richard Gumpinger put the Landesliga champions ahead inside the first 60 seconds, catching the SSV defence cold before the visitors had settled.

Ulm responded immediately. Achitpol Keererom — introduced to the squad as "Mike" — levelled in the 5th minute, tapping home after a spell of sustained pressure. The Thai forward then completed his brace in the 16th minute, converting the rebound after a corner had struck the post. The two quick goals turned the game on its head.

Per Lockl, the SSV midfielder, reflected on the early scare afterwards: "Natürlich willst du nach 30 Sekunden jetzt nicht unbedingt zurückliegen, aber ich glaube, wir haben danach die Stunde gezeigt, wo wir hinwollen." (SpatzenTV)

The visitors dominated the remainder of the first half, with Daniel Hülsenbusch heading narrowly over from a Lockl corner and Mateo Mrden forcing a save from distance. The provider data records a 2-1 half-time lead — matching the timeline: Keererom's brace had flipped the scoreline inside 16 minutes.

Head coach Thomas Wörle changed the entire XI at half-time, giving minutes to a second-string side including Marcel Seegert, who made his return after signing a contract extension through 2028 on Monday.

The second half was less one-sided. Schwabmünchen hit the post in the 63rd minute, but Ulm extended their lead in the 57th minute when Marco Gölz squared for Lucas Röser, who placed a low shot into the right corner to make it 3-1.

The opening minute could have set a nervous tone for Ulm, but Keererom's instant equaliser in the 5th minute reset the match. Within 11 further minutes he had added a second, and the game was effectively decided. The speed of Ulm's response — from 1-0 down to 2-1 up in 15 minutes — demonstrated the quality gap between the two divisions.

Achitpol Keererom — The Thai attacker, on trial with SSV Ulm, scored his first two goals for the club. His movement in the box caused constant problems for the Schwabmünchen defence. After the match he said: "Gutes Spiel von uns heute, auch wenn das anstrengend war, aber ich glaube, wir als Team haben das sehr gut gemacht." (SpatzenTV)

Lucas Röser — The experienced forward came off the bench at half-time and sealed the result with a composed finish in the 57th minute, his second goal of pre-season.

Marcel Seegert — Played the entire second half in his first outing since signing a new deal, a clear sign the club sees him as a key figure for the 2026-27 campaign.

No detailed xG or possession data is available for this friendly, but the SSV Ulm official report notes that the visitors held the majority of possession and created the clearer chances across the 90 minutes. The 188 spectators in attendance saw Ulm register four corners in the first half alone and force several saves from the Schwabmünchen goalkeeper. The hosts' best chance after the break came when they struck the post in the 63rd minute, but they rarely threatened a comeback.

SSV Ulm continue their pre-season preparation with a 100% record after two friendlies. The side will face TSV Berg in Leutkirch on Sunday 5 July before heading to a training camp in Oberstaufen. For Schwabmünchen, who have already played four pre-season matches, the defeat is a step up in class against a side two divisions above them.

A routine pre-season win for Ulm, made more interesting by the early deficit and Keererom's eye-catching brace. The complete half-time XI change shows Wörle is still assessing his squad depth. The returning Seegert and the lively Keererom were the two biggest positives on the night.
