Match Analysis
AI SummaryHow it unfolded
Comes Pereira opened the scoring in the 8th minute, continuing a remarkable individual day after he had also netted the opener in the earlier 1-1 draw against Hamburger SV U21. Anker Wismar levelled from the penalty spot two minutes later (10'), but that was as good as it got for the Oberliga Nord side.
Greifswald hit back with three goals in a devastating six-minute spell before the break: the go-ahead goal arrived in the 39th minute, followed by a quickfire third in the 40th and a fourth deep into first-half stoppage time (45'). The home side added a fifth from the penalty spot in the 51st minute — Bajram Syla, captaining the side again, was heavily involved in midfield — before rounding off the scoring in the 71st minute to seal the 6-1 scoreline.
The turning point
Anker Wismar's early penalty equaliser (10') briefly threatened to make it a contest, but Greifswald's response was emphatic. Three goals between the 39th and 45th minutes killed the game before half-time. The five-tier gap between the sides — Greifswald in the Regionalliga Nordost (fourth tier), Wismar in the NOFV-Oberliga Nord (fifth) — told physically as the half wore on, with Greifswald's superior fitness and depth overwhelming their opponents.
Key performers
- Fodelcio Comes Pereira — The trialist scored for Greifswald in both fixtures on 4 July, netting the 1-0 opener against HSV U21 and doing the same against Anker Wismar. The former Berliner AK attacker is making a strong case for a contract under Alain Karim.
- Bajram Syla — The midfield orchestrator wore the captain's armband again and controlled the tempo, particularly during the decisive first-half surge.
- Greifswald's penalty takers — Two spot-kicks were converted (one to level after Wismar's equaliser, another in the 51st minute), highlighting Greifswald's ability to capitalise on set-piece pressure.
Player of the match: Fodelcio Comes Pereira — his twin 1-0 strikes across both Saturday friendlies made him the standout individual.
By the numbers — interpreted
The 6-1 scoreline tells a story of first-half dominance (4-1 at the break) followed by controlled second-half management. The attendance of 99 at the Waldstadion Neukloster reflects the low-key nature of pre-season, but the goal output continues a remarkable trend: Greifswalder FC have now scored 29 goals across three pre-season friendlies (22-0 vs SV Eintracht Zinnowitz, 1-1 vs HSV U21, 6-1 vs Anker Wismar). The fixture's only previous H2H meeting (a 5-0 Greifswald win in 2023) already suggested a one-sided dynamic, and this result confirmed it.
What it means
Greifswalder FC are building significant momentum ahead of the 2026/27 Regionalliga Nordost campaign under new coach Alain Karim, formerly of Energie Cottbus U19. The 22-0 win over Zinnowitz (27 June) and this 6-1 victory suggest Karim's side are finding their rhythm in the final third. Next up for Greifswald is a home friendly against SV Siedenbollentin on 8 July, followed by a double-header on 11 July against TSG Neustrelitz and VfB Lübeck.
For Anker Wismar, the result offers a clear measure of the gap to fourth-tier football as they continue their own NOFV-Oberliga Nord preparation. They face FC Hansa Rostock in a friendly on 8 July.
Verdict
A straightforward pre-season workout that told Greifswald's coaching staff what they needed to know — the attacking unit is firing, and trialist Comes Pereira is worth a closer look. Karim's side controlled the game from the moment they answered Wismar's equaliser, and the 5-0 goal difference from the 10th minute onwards reflected the genuine gulf in class. A useful test, passed with minimal fuss.
