Rosenheim secured a 4:7 victory over Filak in a club friendly on Saturday afternoon. The Austrian venue hosted the encounter, which concluded with the visitors taking the spoils in a seven-goal affair. Filak could only manage four goals in response to Rosenheim's attacking display.
Both sides arrived with recent history of high-scoring encounters. Filak had lost 4:7 to Kassel in their previous match on August 16th, while Rosenheim had fallen 3:4 to the same opposition on August 21st. These results suggested a pattern of open, end-to-end football between these clubs.
Filak's recent form has been challenging. They dropped points against Graz 99 on three separate occasions in March, losing 1:3, 1:5 and 1:2 across those fixtures. Their most recent outing saw them defeat Dresden 0:3 at home, though that result came before the Kassel defeat.
Rosenheim have been involved in numerous tight games against Regensburg this season. They lost 1:2 and 5:6, but also won 7:4 and lost 5:6 in what appeared to be a competitive run of matches. The visitors brought that attacking mindset to Saturday's fixture.
The final scoreline of 4:7 reflects the open nature of the encounter. Neither side kept a clean sheet, and the goals came at regular intervals throughout the match. It remains to be seen whether this friendly will influence either team's preparation for the upcoming season.
