Rosenheim host Val-Pusteria in a club friendly on Tuesday, September 2, 2026, and the visitors claim a 4-3 victory in a match that never settled down. By then, the scoreline told only half the story — both teams had already shown they could take the lead and respond.
The hosts came into the fixture with momentum, having notched 15 goals across three matches earlier this year. A 7-4 win against Filak on August 30 sat alongside two heavier defeats to Regensburg in March, but the pattern was clear: Rosenheim play open football that rarely ends quietly.
Val-Pusteria arrived with a similar reputation. They beat Litvínov 3-1 on August 23 before suffering a 4-3 setback against ERC Ingolstadt four days later. The previous April, however, had been brutal — three straight losses to Graz 99, including a 1-5 drubbing on April 17. Things had shifted since then.
The final score suggests a game decided by moments rather than sustained dominance. With neither side keeping a clean sheet, the margin between victory and defeat was razor-thin. The visitors took the points, but only just.
For Rosenheim, the result adds nothing to any table — this was a friendly, and the standings mean little in such fixtures. What matters is the character of the performance: they conceded four goals but found the net three times, proving they can compete at this level even when the defence cracks.
