RB Leipzig Claims Pre-Season Opener Against VSG Altglienicke
RB Leipzig secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Regionalliga Northeast side VSG Altglienicke in their pre-season opener, marking a winning debut for manager Martin Demichelis.
RB Leipzig began their preparations for the upcoming season with a 2-1 win over VSG Altglienicke, a team from the Regionalliga Northeast. This friendly match served as the first on-field test for new head coach Martin Demichelis.
The encounter saw the two-time DFB-Pokal champions narrowly overcome their lower-league opponents. Details of the scoring or key moments were not provided, but the result confirms a positive start for the Leipzig squad under their new management.
Following this initial outing, RB Leipzig is expected to continue their pre-season schedule, with further matches planned as they build towards the regular season. The team's progression under Demichelis will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
A narrow win against a lower-division side is hardly a statement, but a win is a win. Demichelis will be looking for more convincing performances as the pre-season progresses.
