Energie Cottbus wins in the test game: Moustfa shines at 3-1!

In the training camp in Austria, FC Energie Cottbus completed a sensational test game against FC Hertha Wels on July 20, 2025 and won 3-1. The victory was not only a sporting success, but also a solemn occasion, because coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz was allowed to celebrate his 60th birthday that day. While he can initiate with his protégés, the impressions on the pitch must be viewed separately.

The first half was rather sluggish and ended goalless. Despite a superiority in possession of the ball of the Welsinger, clear chances to score remained in short supply. However, a highlight was the penalty in the 8th minute, which energy keeper Alexander Sebald parried confidently and thus kept his team in the game. In the second half, after the substitution of Max Böhnke, the turn came. Cottbus put pressure and showed himself to be the stronger team.
