Rot-Weiß Erfurt wins the test match: The new team is convincing!

Rot-Weiß Erfurt is in impressive form and has several positive news from the last test games. Last Saturday, July 5, 2025, the team triumphed against third division newcomer Schweinfurt 2-1 in the Volkspark Stadium in Gotha in front of 712 spectators. This game was not only a sporting success, but also gave an insight into the club's future prospects.

Ben-Luca Moritz netted for Erfurt in the 3rd minute and ensured a successful start. Despite the interim equalizer with a penalty from Michael Dellinger in the 11th minute, Erfurt remained undeterred. Obed Ugondu made the final score 2-1 in the 35th minute, which gave the coaches a reason to be happy. Coach Fabian Gerber also used this opportunity to observe three potential newcomers who were able to prove themselves.

New faces, old strength

With Jaden Rodtnick from Union Berlin already on the bench, there was fresh impetus for the team. But the new faces on the pitch were also convincing: Soufiane Ikene came from Nürnberg II's defensive midfield, while the second newcomer, Temilola Awoyale, was previously with the Lions Gibraltar. After the game, Gerber praised the performance of his players and explained that Ikene and Awoyale should be used again in the next friendly match on Sunday against Alemannia Aachen.

Erfurt had previously shown its dominance in another friendly against Union Mühlhausen, which ended 11-0 in favor of the Thuringians. This impressive performance took place on Wednesday evening in the Stadium an der Aue, where an impressive 1,100 spectators were able to marvel at the spectacle. Erfurt dominated from the first minute and set the course for an open goal festival.

Looking forward to future challenges

The next games, including the duel against Alemannia Aachen, are already on the schedule and promise exciting encounters. These test matches not only offer the opportunity to integrate new players, but also to further strengthen your own team. The view of coach Gerber and the entire team is clear: The focus here should not only be on having fun, but also on achieving the sporting goals for the coming season.

Overall, it shows that Rot-Weiß Erfurt has a good hand when it comes to squad planning. After the recent successes, it will be interesting to see how the team will develop further. The fan can look forward to the next match days and is well advised to keep his fingers crossed.
