Kassel came away with a 3:4 victory against Rosenheim in a club friendly match on Thursday. The game finished with the visitors holding on for the win after both sides exchanged goals throughout.
By then, the result meant little beyond providing a final tune-up for both clubs before the new season. Rosenheim had been playing Regensburg repeatedly in recent weeks, while Kassel's last outing came against Filla on Wednesday.
Kassel's recent form showed mixed results, with heavy defeats to Krefeld Pinguin in April followed by that 7:4 win over Filla. Rosenheim's matches against Regensburg produced some high-scoring affairs, including a 7:4 victory and several narrow losses.
And here's the thing about friendlies — they rarely tell you much about what's coming. Both teams had plenty of chances on display, though without match data to analyse, we cannot say which side created more or took them better.
For now, Kassel can take something positive from the win. Rosenheim will want to improve before competitive action begins. The scoreline suggests both attacks were working, even if the defence had work to do.
