What happened?

On 8 July 2026 the 1. FC Nurnberg delivered a 10‑0 (half‑time 1‑0) summer friendly win over TSV Kornburg. Julian Justvan scored in the 47th, 57th and 75th minute, steering the side to a double‑digit result. Before the break, 16‑year‑old midfielder Marko Soldic opened the scoring in the 42nd minute.

Who shone?

Justvan was the clear standout, but newcomers Can Moustfa (53') and Rayan Ghrieb (54') also found the net quickly. Double‑pivot Adriano Grimaldi hit the scoresheet in the 59th and 82nd minute, while Tim Janisch (61') and Khalid Abu El Haija (84') added to the tally. Kornburg fielded the sons of club legends Marek Mintal and Javier Pinola – Jakub Mintal and Luciano Pinola – yet Nurnberg's attack left little room for replies.

Why does it matter for the season?

Coach Miroslav Klose, former world champion, used the match to test offensive options. The early lead and rapid second‑half surge indicate a team in good shape and new signings settling fast. A ten‑goal victory signals the firepower Nurnberg aims to bring to the 2. Bundesliga and boosts confidence ahead of the campaign.

What’s next?

Following the decisive win, Nurnberg has more preparatory fixtures to tighten the defence and fine‑tune tactics. Klose will likely scrutinise Soldic’s performance and the newcomers to shape the starting eleven for the upcoming season. Fans can look forward to seeing whether the offensive spark from this test match carries over into league play.
