SSV Ulm 1846 secured a 3-1 victory over Bayern München II in this club friendly, a result that was largely decided in a one-sided first half. The home side established a two-goal lead before the interval and never looked back, a performance that was significantly aided by a red card for Bayern München II defender R. Mijatovic in the 34th minute. The Lemeister model had given SSV Ulm a 40% chance of victory before the match, projecting a 2-1 scoreline, and the final result aligned closely with that expectation, though the extra goal from the hosts suggested the numerical advantage tilted the balance further in their favour.
The match turned decisively in the 34th minute when R. Mijatovic was dismissed, leaving the visitors with ten men for over an hour. Just two minutes later, SSV Ulm took advantage of their numerical superiority as M. Seegert scored the opening goal in the 36th minute, a normal goal without a listed assist. The pressure continued to build on the reduced Bayern defence, and O. Wahling doubled the lead shortly before half-time, finding the net in the 43rd minute. The timing of these two goals, coming within a seven-minute window after the red card, demonstrated how effectively SSV Ulm exploited the space left by the visitors' depleted backline. Wahling's strike just before the break was particularly damaging, as it gave Bayern München II no time to regroup before the interval.
SSV Ulm maintained their momentum after the break, and O. Wahling struck again in the 55th minute to make it 3-0, completing his brace. The goal effectively ended the contest as a competitive affair, though Bayern München II did manage a consolation through Y. Gashi in the 75th minute. The scoreline suggested a comfortable win for the hosts, a dominance that was established during the critical period either side of the red card. Without detailed match statistics available, the game's narrative is defined by the disciplinary event and the goals it enabled. SSV Ulm's ability to score twice in the 10 minutes following the red card proved decisive, showcasing effective tactical organisation against a depleted opponent. Wahling's two goals marked him as the most influential player in the final third, while Seegert’s opening strike set the tone for the afternoon. For Bayern München II, Mijatovic's early dismissal was a clear turning point, leaving them to chase the game from a position of numerical disadvantage.
The red card to Mijatovic forced Bayern München II into a defensive reorganisation for the majority of the match. The visitors managed to hold out for only two minutes after the dismissal, before Seegert breached their resistance. The second goal arrived before half-time, suggesting that the ten-man side struggled to maintain their shape against sustained pressure. The third goal early in the second half confirmed the pattern: SSV Ulm had the numerical advantage and used it effectively to create scoring opportunities. For the visitors, the challenge of playing with ten men for the majority of the match was too great. While Y. Gashi's late goal provided a small positive, the team was unable to generate sustained pressure to mount a comeback. The home side's discipline and efficiency in the attacking third, particularly during the key spell after the red card, ensured they maximised their advantage on the scoreboard.
The result reflects a clear outcome in this pre-season friendly, with SSV Ulm 1846 demonstrating the clinical finishing that the Lemeister model had anticipated. The projected scoreline of 2-1 was close to the actual 3-1, with the red card arguably shifting the final margin by a goal. For SSV Ulm, the victory will be a useful confidence-builder, providing them with experience of playing against a team forced into a more cautious defensive posture. The three goals, including a brace from Wahling, indicate a productive afternoon for the home attack. For Bayern München II, the focus will be on the discipline that cost them the chance to compete on a more level footing; Mijatovic's dismissal changed the course of the match entirely. The late goal from Gashi offers a small consolation, but the team will need to address their defensive organisation when reduced to ten men if they are to avoid similar outcomes in future competitive fixtures.
