The German outfit routed 15 goals and held a clean sheet.
Nathaniel Brown earned his senior debut, and Aleksandar Pavlović came back after a long injury layoff.
The game gave initial assessment drills for players who will travel to the World Cup.
Pavlović said he feels eager to press forward again next season.
