TuS RW Koblenz vs Siegburger SV

Koblenz's early opener set the tone, but the second goal — arriving comfortably before the half-hour mark — effectively ended the contest. Siegburger never looked capable of recovering from a two-goal deficit against a side already in full rhythm after four previous friendlies. The 4-0 half-time scoreline allowed Nizza to rotate freely in the second period.

Ryo Iwata (2 goals) — The Japanese attacker was a persistent threat in the first half, bagging a brace that set Koblenz on their way. His movement in and around the box caused Siegburger problems throughout.

Franck Kouentchi (2 goals) — The summer signing from Cameroon has made an immediate impression. His double took his pre-season tally to three goals in five friendlies, following his transfer in July 2026.

James Shepard (1 goal) — Another new arrival finding his feet in Koblenz colours. The forward got on the scoresheet in the second half, adding to his growing confidence ahead of the league campaign.

Kanata Todate (1 goal) — The midfielder continued his productive pre-season with a goal, rounding off a well-worked move.

Player of the Match: Ryo Iwata — his two first-half goals broke the game open and showcased his sharpness in front of goal.

The match page shows a 6-1 scoreline with a 4-0 half-time lead. The 4-0 interval score reflects Koblenz's intensity in the opening 45 minutes, when they pressed high and moved the ball quickly through midfield. The second half saw a natural drop-off after wholesale changes, which allowed Siegburger their consolation — the only goal RWK have conceded in their last three friendlies. Koblenz have now scored 16 goals across their five pre-season matches, averaging 3.2 per game.

This was the final dress rehearsal for RWK before the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar season kicks off. Next up is a home fixture against Wormatia Worms on Saturday, 1 August 2026, at Stadion Oberwerth (14:00 kick-off). The convincing win over a side that finished third in the Mittelrheinliga last season should give Koblenz confidence, though Nizza cautioned that the result should not be over-interpreted given Siegburger's earlier stage of preparation.

For Siegburger SV, the focus remains on their own Mittelrheinliga campaign, with pre-season continuing against a variety of opponents in the coming weeks.

A straightforward pre-season workout that told Koblenz more about their own attacking depth than about Siegburger's level. The partnerships between Iwata, Kouentchi and Todate are developing at the right time. The real test begins on 1 August against Worms.
