Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Leo Scienza’s strike helped Southampton come from behind to beat Preußen Münster 2-1 in a club friendly. The midfielder’s equaliser arrived four minutes after Felix Higl had put the German side ahead, and a late second-half goal sealed the win for the visitors in a game that served as a useful workout for both squads.

The match turned on two quick-fire moments in the first half, with Higl converting in the 13th minute to give Münster the lead before Scienza levelled matters just four minutes later. The decisive blow came late, as Southampton grabbed their second goal in the 87th minute to snatch victory from a contest that had looked finely balanced until then.

The statistics tell a clear story of Southampton’s control, as they held 61% possession against Münster’s 39% and won nine corners to their opponents’ three. They outplayed the hosts on the ball and were rewarded for their patience. Scienza earned a rating of 8.79 out of ten as a midfielder, his goal proving pivotal.
