Kempten vs Illertissen

Milic's early opener settled any nerves the visitors may have had. A second goal soon after from the same source effectively ended the contest before Kempten could build any momentum. Against a side three divisions below them, Illertissen's physical and technical superiority was evident from the first whistle.

• Denis Milic (Illertissen) — Two goals, the match-winner who broke Kempten's resistance inside the opening stages. Milic, who has extended his contract at the club, showed his importance to Khaled's setup.
• Max Neuberger (Illertissen) — On the scoresheet in a commanding all-round display from midfield.
• Marco Hingerl (Illertissen) — Added a goal as Illertissen's attacking fluidity proved too much for the Landesliga defence.
• Elidon Qenaj (Illertissen) — Completed the scoring with a well-taken finish.

The 5-0 scoreline reflected the gulf in level between a Regionalliga Bayern side (tier 4) and a Landesliga side (tier 6). Illertissen created chances at will across both 30-minute halves, with Milic's first-half double setting a基调 that Kempten never recovered from. The hosts offered minimal attacking threat throughout, rarely testing Illertissen's new goalkeeper Daniel Adamczyk, who joined the club from Chemnitzer FC ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Illertissen advanced to the Allgäuer Brauhaus-Cup final, where they beat TSV Essingen 1-0 courtesy of a goal from new signing Ilkan Atak to secure silverware in their first pre-season tournament. The clean sheet across both matches — 180 minutes against Kempten (semi-final) and Essingen (final) — will encourage Khaled, who is building a side for the Regionalliga Bayern campaign ahead.

Kempten, who finished fourth in the four-team tournament after losing the third-place play-off 1-0 to FC Memmingen, continue their Landesliga preparation with further friendlies scheduled.

Illertissen's next pre-season fixtures include a home test against Verbandsliga side Türkspor Neu-Ulm (8 July), a trip to Regionalliga newcomers TSV Landsberg (11 July), and a home match against Oberliga side Young Boys Reutlingen (12 July).

A routine pre-season workout for Illertissen against significantly weaker opposition. The 5-0 scoreline was emphatic but expected given the three-division gap. Milic's double was the standout individual contribution, while Khaled's squad rotation across the tournament gave valuable minutes to every player in his summer setup. More telling tests await against Landsberg and fellow Regionalliga opposition in the weeks ahead.
