"It all seemed so good in the build up to the match. Due to the international break and several international call ups, Bayern II had to call off last week's match. Instead, a friendly was played. It gave Richard Meier, Max Mergner and Michael Scott a chance to recover from their respective injuries, reduce the injury list and leave the team with a really formidable starting XI and bench."
"Then Bayern lost. Traveling to a team in SpVgg Hankofen-Hailing who had not won since the beginning of August and are expected to be in a relegation fight, it was expected that Bayern would dominate the match. They did, at first, succeed in that regard and came close to scoring multiple times. The football was good and the opponents could rarely get out of their half. But the finishing was poor and saw Bayern go into halftime level with the hosts."
Bayern II started with Bärt l - Dalpiaz, Heindl, Deziel Jr., Nasrawe (82. Yanda) - Chávez, Schmitz, Della Rovere (72. Ličina) - Degraf (46. Meier), Heinz, Binder, with Klanac, Dettoni, Mergner, Rüger, Scott and Darboe among the unused substitutes. Multiple players remained unavailable due to injury. A friendly during the international break allowed Richard Meier, Max Mergner and Michael Scott to regain fitness and reduce the injury list, while Manuba and Puljić neared returns. Bayern dominated possession and created several clear chances against SpVgg Hankofen-Hailing but failed to convert them. Poor finishing left the teams level at halftime, and Bayern ultimately suffered a defeat.
