Peat festival for the testing of the test: Union Berlin disassembled Brandenburger SC 9: 1!

Werner-Seelenbinder-Sportplatz, Brandenburg an der Havel, Deutschland - With an impressive start, the 1. FC Union Berlin heralded its summer preparation. In the first test game of the new season this afternoon, the Unioner won 9: 1 against Brandenburger SC Süd 05, a team from the sixth league. In wonderful weather and in front of 2,980 spectators on the Werner-Seelenbinder sports field, the team of coach Steffen Baumgart celebrated a fireworks display on tartar shots and gambling jokes.

The game took place only three days after the first training session and showed that the team is already in good shape. The young striker Andrej Ilic stood out: he scored four goals (15th, 21st, 41st and 44th minute) and proved that he is in good shape. The goal scorer list was supplemented by Elias Ali (10th minute), Andrik Markgraf (36th minute), Marin Ljubicic (57th minute), Lucas Toustart (67th minute) and Livan Burcu (71st minute). Patrick Richter achieved the honor for the hosts in the 30th minute with a remarkable goal.

New look and new additions

A striking innovation was the use of the new light blue alternative jerseys, which gave the Union players a fresh appearance. The game also showed the first impressions of the newcomers: Oliver Burke (from Werder Bremen) and Ilyas viewed (from SC Paderborn) took their first steps in Union-Dress, while Andrik Markgraf also had their commitment from his own offspring and Livan Burcu (borrowed from 1. FC Magdeburg).

coach Steffen Baumgart had the encounter played in the 3-5-2 system and changed vigorously at half. Goalkeeper Rönnow was used in the first half, while Klaus replaced him after the change of sides. The defense and the midfield also rotated: Ogbemudia, Král and Rothe were replaced by Doekhi, Jaeckel and Lieiten, while in the attack next to Ilic the fresh Ljubicic came to the field.
