Overview
- CFC were beaten 1–0 by Oberligist VfB Auerbach in a hastily arranged test at BSC Rapid’s artificial turf in Chemnitz-Kappel.
- Cedric Graf decided the match with a long-range strike after 20 minutes for the visitors.
- Auerbach goalkeeper Stanley Birke preserved the lead with multiple saves, including denying Leon Damer from the penalty spot.
- The friendly replaced the Regionalliga fixture at BFC Preussen, which was called off due to unsafe, icy conditions.
- Right-back Johannes Pistol sustained a tarsal fracture in training and expects roughly six weeks out, while the NOFV rescheduled Preussen–CFC for April 8 at 17:00 because the Berlin venue lacks floodlights.
