Memmingen defeated Kaufbeuren 1:5 in a club friendly match played on 28 August 2026. The result came five days after the two sides met, when Kaufbeuren had won 6:5 and Memmingen lost 5:6. By then, the visitors had made their point clear.
And here's the thing about these friendlies — they often reveal more than the scoreboard suggests. Memmingen came in after a mixed run, losing 2:3 to Deggendorf before beating Füssen 4:1 and holding Passau to a 6:0 shutout. Kaufbeuren had been scoring freely, winning 6:5 against Memmingen themselves and posting similar scores against Weiden.
To be fair, the contrast between the two encounters was stark. Five days earlier, Kaufbeuren had outscored their opponents in both meetings, netting 11 goals across those fixtures. This time, the visitors took control and didn't let go. There's a certain satisfaction in seeing a team respond after a heavy defeat.
The recent form lines up interestingly. Memmingen's three wins in February showed they can produce, while Kaufbeuren's four victories in March and April suggested attacking intent. But friendlies don't always translate — and this one certainly didn't for the hosts.
What matters now is the result itself. Memmingen extended a pattern of improvement, while Kaufbeuren will need to assess what went wrong. The final score of 1:5 tells you everything you need to know about the balance of power on this evening.
