Facing the Germans, Franck Haise’s men avoided their first defeat of the pre-season out of fear. The Wolves had opened the scoring by Ridle Baku fifteen minutes from time, before Deiver Machado equalized in stride. The artesian club will face Torino on Wednesday before facing a potential opponent in C1 Manchester United next Saturday.
