Oberthurgau played host to Lindau for a club friendly on September 6th. The visitors secured a comprehensive 5-0 victory at the home ground. It was a clean sheet for the away side and a difficult afternoon for the hosts.
The visitors came out with intent from the first whistle. To be fair, they controlled the tempo and dictated the play. Oberthurgau struggled to maintain possession against the press.
The hosts had been finding the net in recent outings. They scored five against Raintal and six against Wettkon earlier in the month. But that attacking momentum was stifled completely on Saturday.
Lindau's record has been volatile over the past few months. They suffered a heavy defeat against Hochstadt earlier in February. Yet they showed resilience in this fixture.
And here's the thing, a scoreline like this often hides tactical shifts. The visitors tightened things up in the final third. The hosts could not break the press once the lead was established.
The result leaves Oberthurgau searching for solutions before the league campaign. Five goals conceded without reply is a warning sign. The visitors leave with confidence intact.
