Friendlies Clubs — 1 July 2026, Friedrich-Ebert-Stadion, Hildesheim
VfV 06 Hildesheim emphatically avenged last season's heaviest Oberliga defeat by thrashing regional rivals MTV Wolfenbüttel 6–0 in their first pre-season friendly of the 2026/27 campaign. Ten days into pre-season training under head coach Ridha Kitar, the Domstadtelf ran riot with three goals in each half at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stadion.
How It Unfolded
Hildesheim took control inside the opening half-hour. Striker Mahdi Biso opened the scoring for 1–0 before summer signing Batuhan Kavakli turned provider, setting up Louis Malina for the second. Another new arrival, Elias Beck, made it 3–0 before the interval, a scoreline confirmed by the provider payload (halftime 3–0).
After the break, Kitar rang the changes — nine fresh faces entered the fray. The momentum did not dip. Fred Mc Mensah turned home a cross from U19 debutant Benjamin Mommertz to make it 4–0. Veteran centre-back Yannik Schulze then took over, curling two inch-perfect free kicks past the Wolfenbüttel goalkeeper to complete the 6–0 rout.
The Turning Point
The third goal before half-time — Beck's strike — effectively ended the contest. Wolfenbüttel, who had lost their Oberliga status at the end of last season, were already chasing the game and the quick succession of goals either side of the interval snuffed out any hope of a comeback.
Key Performers
Yannik Schulze — The experienced defender scored a second-half brace, both from free kicks, and anchored the back line after being introduced at the break. His set-piece execution was the standout individual moment of the match.
Kristers Millers — The U19 graduate, handed his senior debut in goal, kept a clean sheet on his first appearance. Sportnews Hildesheim reported that Millers made four saves in the first half alone and remained composed throughout.
Elias Beck — One of three new signings in the starting XI, the midfielder scored the crucial third goal just before half-time.
By the Numbers — Interpreted
Hildesheim's 6–0 win reverses the 2–6 Oberliga defeat they suffered against the same opposition just nine weeks earlier (25 April 2026). The provider data records a 3–0 halftime margin, meaning Hildesheim were equally prolific in both periods. For context, the two previous H2H meetings (both Oberliga fixtures in 2025/26) produced 11 combined goals at 5.5 per game — this fixture continues to deliver emphatic scorelines.
What It Means
The result is a statement of intent for Hildesheim's upcoming Oberliga season — a club with ambitions of reaching the Regionalliga. Kitar told Sportnews Hildesheim: "We have gained in quality. You could see that." Wolfenbüttel, now in Landesliga after relegation, face a rebuilding job. Hildesheim's next friendly is away to the U23 side of 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Magdeburg on Sunday, 5 July 2026.
Verdict
Pre-season friendlies should not be overinterpreted, but this was as emphatic a start as Kitar could have wished for. The clean sheet, the production from new signings, and the squad depth on display all suggest Hildesheim are further along in their preparation than Wolfenbüttel, who face a reset in the tier below.
