Title: Karlsruher SC's Struggles Continue as They Fall to Ulm in Test Match
Karlsruher SC, the struggling second-division side, faced some tough opposition in a recent test match and came up short yet again. The Baden-based team was outplayed by third-division newcomers SSV Ulm 1846, losing 2-0 (0-0) in a rain-soaked encounter.
The turning point of the game came in the second half, as Nicolas Jann scored a penalty to put Ulm in the lead (55th minute). The lead was extended further by Romario Rösch, who headed home for Ulm's second goal (67th minute). Despite a promising first half for Karlsruhe, they failed to convert their chances into goals.
Central defender Christoph Kobald made a long-awaited return to the fold, having spent much of the season sidelined due to a muscle injury. Kobald, a potential replacement for Marcel Franke in case of injury, played for around an hour in the clash against Ulm.
Karlsruhe's coach, Christian Eichner, has had a frustrating start to the season with his team languishing in 15th place in the tables. Despite the defeat in the test match, they will be looking to turn things around when they face 1. FC Nürnberg on November 25.
In their previous outing, Karlsruher SC drew 2-2 against SV Elversberg. The team's performance was affected by injuries and the absence of key players, but there was no mention of Kobald's return in this context.
