test game - FC St. Pauli beats Olympique Lyon in preparations
Bundesliga promotee FC St. Pauli won its test match against French Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyon. Hamburg won in Austrian Schwaz with a 1:0 (0:0) score. The goal for St. Pauli was scored by the 17-year-old youth player Marwin Schmitz, whom trainer Alexander Blessin took to the training camp (87. minute).
The scheduled test match against Croatian first division side Slaven Belupo in the morning was cancelled, as the team did not have enough personnel available for two games due to several absences.
Next, the Kiezkicker will travel to the British Isle. On 3rd August, FC St. Pauli plays the second-tier side Norwich City.
Following their test match victory, FC St. Pauli is set to face Olympique Lyon in the Bundesliga. The young talent Marwin Schmitz, who scored in the test game against Schwaz, will likely continue to impress. Meanwhile, Olympique Lyon is currently preparing for the new soccer season in Germany. Prior to this, FC St. Pauli had a successful test game in Hamburg, defeating Austrian side Schwaz. Despite a cancelled game against Slaven Belupo, St. Pauli looks forward to their upcoming preparation game against Norwich City in Britain.
