Zwettl SC and SV Horn Play Out Goalless Draw in International Friendly

A pre-season friendly between Austrian sides Zwettl SC and SV Horn ended 0-0 on July 11, 2026, with the match kicking off at 1:00 AM local time in Zwettl. The result may lack goals, but both teams gained important fitness work in what was a hard-fought, physical contest.

Zwettl SC, playing at home, started with intensity and pressed high up the pitch. SV Horn, a club with recent experience in Austria’s second division, showed composure in possession and withstood the early storm. Chances were few, with both defences well organised and goalkeepers relatively untroubled.

The friendly served as an early preparation fixture for the 2026-27 season, with managers rotating players to assess different combinations. Set-pieces provided the main threat, but neither side could convert from dead ball situations.

For Zwettl SC, the clean sheet against a higher-league opponent is a positive sign, while SV Horn will be satisfied with their defensive shape. Both teams will look to add more spark in attack in subsequent friendlies as they build toward competitive matches.
