Lupo/Martini Wolfsburg lost 1:6 to 1. FC Magdeburg II in the friendly!

Football fans from the region, watch out! On June 26, 2025, an exciting test match took place between Lupo/Martini Wolfsburg and the second team of 1. FC Magdeburg. The game ended with a clear 1:6 for the hosts. Lupo put together a young starting eleven, which only included five players from last year's squad. Coach Ludger Tusch used the opportunity to experiment with different positions and gave newcomer Filip Pavlovic the chance to play at right-back. The trial player Wedat Bezek was also present in central midfield.

However, there was little to laugh about for Lupo on offense. Bangin Bakir had the best chance, but he failed to score. The first round ended 0:4 for Magdeburg, who managed to clearly dominate the game. In the second section, however, a breath of fresh air came into play. Tusch substituted several players and brought Ilhan Kizilhan and Robin Sarstedt into defense, among others. These changes finally had an effect, and Lupo noticeably improved. The game offered opportunities for both sides, with Magdeburg II increasing their lead to 5-0. A bright spot for Lupo was Owusu's goal to make it 1:5, before Magdeburg struck again shortly before the end and scored the last goal to make it 6:1.
