El Bremen II sorprende al Lotte con un doblete tempranero en un partido amistoso.

Sportfreunde Lotte welcomed SV Werder Bremen II U23 to their ground on a warm July afternoon for a pre-season test. The hosts were looking to build fitness during the summer break, but they would face an uphill battle from the opening exchanges. Bremen's young side came to compete, and they made their intentions clear almost from the first whistle.

The visitors struck twice in a devastating opening 17 minutes. Burak Coskun opened the scoring in the eighth minute, catching Lotte's defence cold with a clinical finish. Coskun then doubled the advantage just nine minutes later to put Bremen firmly in control. The early onslaught left the home crowd stunned, and Lotte found themselves chasing the game before many supporters had settled into their seats.

The hosts emerged with renewed purpose after the interval and pulled one back through J. Faltyn shortly after the restart in the 46th minute. Lotte pressed forward looking for an equaliser and created some chances as the match opened up, but they could never quite find the finishing touch to level the score. Bremen's defence held firm when it mattered most, weathering the pressure as the game wore on.

The 1-2 final score reflected a match that was decided in those frantic opening minutes. While Lotte showed character to get back into the game after half-time, Coskun's early double proved too much to overcome. For Bremen's young side, it was an encouraging afternoon that suggested their preparation for the season ahead is progressing well.
