Wacker Burghausen vs Augsburg II

The match kicked off at 17:00 local time in Burghausen under referee Dominik Petzke (BSC Surheim). Neither side's goalscorers were officially named in match reports at the time of writing, but the contest was competitive throughout — as expected between two Regionalliga Bayern rivals who know each other well from their 12 previous meetings since 2019.

Wacker Burghausen, under new head coach Matthias Ostrzolek, took the lead in the first half. The hosts had lost their previous friendly 2-0 to Austrian second-tier side SV Austria Salzburg on 11 July and were determined to end their pre-season preparations on a positive note in front of their own supporters.

Augsburg II responded after the break, finding an equaliser to level the score at 1-1. Neither side could find a winner in the remainder of the match, and the game finished all square.

Augsburg II's second-half equaliser shifted the momentum. Having trailed at the break, the visitors came out with renewed purpose and managed to breach the Burghausen defence. The goal took the sting out of Wacker's early momentum and forced both teams into a more cautious final phase, with neither willing to risk losing the final preparation game.

Without confirmed individual statistics from the fixture, the key performers are difficult to isolate. Wacker Burghausen's defensive unit held firm after the equaliser to preserve a point, while Augsburg II's ability to respond after conceding first suggests they have the resilience required for the season ahead.

Player of the Match: Not formally awarded.

The provider payload confirms a 1-1 final scoreline, but no detailed match statistics (possession, shots, xG) were published for this fixture. The absence of halftime score data in the official record suggests the match followed a predictable pre-season pattern: one side edging ahead early, the other responding in the second period.

The head-to-head record between these sides — 7 wins for Wacker, 3 for Augsburg II, 2 draws from 12 meetings — shows Burghausen's historical dominance in this fixture. The 1-1 result is consistent with the fixture's tendency to produce goals: 83% of their previous meetings saw both teams score, and 83% went over 2.5 goals.

This was Wacker Burghausen's final warm-up match before the competitive season begins. The draw provides a reasonable platform after the 2-0 defeat to Austria Salzburg on 11 July, but Ostrzolek will want sharper finishing in the final third.

Burghausen's attention now turns immediately to the TOTO-Pokal first round: they face TSV Alling away on Saturday, 18 July 2026 (kick-off 16:00), just 23 hours after the Augsburg friendly. The Regionalliga Bayern season proper starts the following weekend (24-26 July 2026).

Augsburg II also begin their Regionalliga Bayern campaign in the same window. The 1-1 draw gives them a solid pre-season finale, having shown they can compete with — and score against — a direct league rival.

A predictable pre-season draw that told both coaches what they already knew: fitness levels are building, sharpness is not yet at full capacity, and the real judgements begin once the points matter. Neither side will read too much into the result, but both will take the 90 minutes of competitive running as valuable preparation.
