Freiburg II vs FC Schaffhausen

Freiburg II's failure to convert a second goal before half-time proved costly. The hosts had the clearer chances through Ouhssakou, Wiklöf and Düker in the first period, and a 2-0 lead would have forced Schaffhausen into a more aggressive approach. Instead, the Swiss side stayed within one goal and were rewarded when a lapse at the back gifted them the equaliser with 13 minutes left.

Jack James (Freiburg II) — The forward took his goal confidently, showed good movement off the shoulder of the last defender, and was a nuisance throughout his time on the pitch. Replaced after 15 minutes as part of Freiburg II's planned rotation.

Daniel Kofi Kyereh (Freiburg II) — The former SC Freiburg first-team midfielder played 44 minutes in the second half as he continues his return to match fitness. His presence added experience to a young side.

Schaffhausen's defence — After surviving a torrid 25-minute spell either side of James's goal, the Swiss backline tightened up after the break and kept Freiburg II's rotated attack quiet, setting the platform for the equaliser.

The match page shows a 1-1 scoreline with no half-time data for the visitors. The first half was the more one-sided period: Freiburg II created at least three clear chances beyond the goal, while Schaffhausen registered only the early chance before halftime. The second half swung toward the visitors after Freiburg II's mass changes, culminating in the 77th-minute equaliser. The draw reflects a game of two distinct halves — Freiburg II's first-choice units dominated the first; Schaffhausen's persistence and Freiburg's rotation-level XI tilted the second.

This was Freiburg II's fifth pre-season friendly and their third match of the week (following the Bitzer-Cup on 4 July, FV Ravensburg on 11 July, and VfL Bochum II on 15 July). They remain unbeaten in two of their last three after the 0-3 loss to Bochum II. Several first-choice U23 players were rested for load management, and U19 prospects featured. The squad heads to a training camp in Bludenz (27–31 July) before one more friendly: TSG Hoffenheim U23 on 25 July in Oberkirch.

For FC Schaffhausen, the draw is a solid result against a German Regionalliga side. The Swiss Promotion League team showed resilience to fight back after a poor first half.

A pre-season stalemate that told coaches more than the scoreline suggests. Freiburg II's first-half performance was encouraging, but the inability to finish chances and a defensive lapse after mass changes kept it from being a win. For a side preparing for the Regionalliga, the pattern — not the result — is what matters.
