Siedenbollentin vs Greifswalder FC

Siedenbollentin's best chance came and went in the 24th minute when Eidtner's free kick rattled the crossbar. Had that gone in, the score would have been 1-1 and the game might have taken a different shape. Instead, the miss was followed by Kroll-Thiel's goal 11 minutes later, and the two-goal cushion at the break allowed Greifswalder to rotate their entire side without losing momentum. The wave of half-time changes — 10 outfield players replaced — effectively reset the contest, and the second half turned into a one-sided affair.

Lukas Walchhütter opened the scoring inside two minutes and was a commanding presence at set pieces before being substituted at half-time. His early goal set the tone for the entire match.

Colin Kroll-Thiel scored the crucial second goal just before half-time, giving Greifswalder breathing room and allowing manager Alain Karim to rotate freely at the break.

Fodelcio Gomes Pereira (Player of the Match) came on at half-time and scored Greifswalder's third goal in the 55th minute, effectively ending any lingering doubt about the result. His hold-up play and movement caused problems throughout the second half.

Musa Alkan capped the scoring with a well-taken strike in the 90th minute, one of five second-half goals for the hosts.

The 7-0 scoreline reflects a gulf of two divisions: Greifswalder FC compete in the Regionalliga Nordost (fourth tier), while SV Siedenbollentin play in the Oberliga Nordost Nord (fifth tier). The shot count and territorial dominance — visible in the stream of set-piece opportunities and sustained second-half pressure — told the story of a team that controlled the game from first minute to last. The hosts' ability to substitute 10 players at half-time and still improve their performance in the second half speaks to the depth of Karim's squad. Siedenbollentin, by contrast, started four new signings and had only just returned to training two days before the match.

For Greifswalder FC, this was their sixth pre-season friendly of the summer, following wins against FSV Blau-Weiß Greifswald, SV Gützkow and SV Eintracht Zinnowitz, and matches against Hamburger SV U21 and FC Anker Wismar on 4 July. The result extends their unbeaten run in pre-season and builds confidence ahead of the upcoming Regionalliga Nordost campaign.

For SV Siedenbollentin, this was their first of four scheduled pre-season friendlies, coming just two days after the start of pre-season training. The heavy defeat serves as a reality check, but manager Christoph Haker told the Nordkurier: "Even if the result is a setback, the first impression of the team is good. We've gained quality in breadth and at the top."

Siedenbollentin's next friendly is scheduled for the coming days as they continue preparations for the Oberliga season. Greifswalder FC face TSG Neustrelitz and VfB Lübeck in a double-header on 11 July, followed by a test against FC Hansa Rostock on 15 July.

A routine pre-season blowout between sides two divisions apart. Greifswalder's ruthlessness — seven goals from seven different scorers — and their ability to maintain intensity through a full squad rotation bodes well for their Regionalliga preparations. For Siedenbollentin, there is no shame in losing to a higher-tier opponent, but the manner of the defeat — especially the five goals conceded in the final 35 minutes — gives Christoph Haker clear areas to address before the Oberliga season begins.
