International Club Friendly – 12 July 2026, 19:00

Match Overview

Kolding FC delivered a commanding performance away from home as they swept past ETSV Weiche Flensburg with a 3-0 victory in a pre-season friendly. The Danish side looked sharp from the opening whistle, controlling possession and creating chances against a Flensburg outfit still finding its rhythm in the summer preparations. The result underlined Kolding’s tactical discipline and finishing efficiency, while the hosts will use the defeat as a building block for the upcoming regional league campaign.

First Half: Visitors Take Control

The match began with both sides testing each other’s defensive lines, but Kolding quickly asserted dominance. In the 18th minute, a well-worked move down the right flank ended with a low cross that was turned in by Kolding’s striker, giving the visitors a deserved lead. Flensburg struggled to cope with the pace and movement of the Kolding midfield, and the scoreline could have been wider before the break. A second goal arrived just before half-time, capitalising on a defensive lapse in the Flensburg box to make it 2-0 at the interval.

Second Half: Kolding Seal the Win

Flensburg emerged after the break with renewed energy, pushing forward in search of a lifeline. They created a few half-chances but lacked the final touch in the final third. Kolding remained patient and struck again on the counter-attack in the 67th minute. A swift transition caught the home defence out of shape, and the finish from inside the area was clinical. The 3-0 lead allowed Kolding to control the remainder of the match, making several substitutions to give minutes to squad players.
