Wadenswil Puts FC Thun to Sleep in 1-0 Snoozer, Artistry Missing from Hosts
It was a match that started with the promise of a poetic duel—a clash of formations under a sky that couldn’t decide if it wanted to rain or just brood. But by the final whistle, the only thing that had been truly dispersed was the hope of FC Thun fans, whose team produced a performance as predictable as a mid-life crisis haircut. Wadenswil took the spoils 1-0, and honestly, the scoreline flattered the hosts.
From the opening kick, FC Thun’s 3-5-2 looked less like a tactical masterstroke and more like a baroque painting in a hurricane—plenty of bodies, no clear focal point. For 45 minutes, they bossed possession at a staggering 68%, but it was the kind of domination that felt like a romantic dinner where one person keeps talking about their cat. Bodo Vencedor, who clearly spent the week practicing his “trapping the ball and falling over” technique, nearly broke the deadlock in the 7th minute with a shot that went narrowly over the bar. Narrowly. As in “almost, but not quite, and that’s the story of Thun’s night.”
The turning point—if you can call a gentle nudge in the right direction a turning point—came in the 66th minute. Timon Stolzenbach was tripped on the edge of the box, a foul so obvious even the clouds seemed to pause. Roger Schilling stepped up for Wadenswil, his motivated performance all season warming hearts like a cup of overpriced hot cocoa. His technical shot kissed the right post, leaving Faustus Brems—Thun’s keeper, who had been doing his best impression of a statue—rooted to the spot. 1-0 to the visitors.
“I just aimed for the post and hoped the goalkeeper wouldn’t move. He didn’t,” Schilling said post-match, wiping sweat from his brow with the air of a man who knew he’d done just enough. “Sometimes football is about poetry. Tonight, it was about prose.”
FC Thun’s response was a masterclass in disorganization. Havel Langen, in the 67th minute, outran the hosts’ defenders like a man late for a meeting, only to cross the ball out of play. It was that kind of evening. The crowd tried to rally behind Motzfeld, chanting his name in the 68th minute as if volume could substitute for precision. “Motzfeld held us together, sure,” coach Karl-Heinz joked after the match, “but it’s like holding together a vase with Scotch tape. It’s still full of cracks.”
Endrik Lübbert earned a yellow card in the 71st minute for an elbow foul that could only be described as “aggressively clumsy.” Meanwhile, Hermann Goln, Wadenswil’s keeper, seemed to be playing a different sport—one where he starts attacks with quick passes while Bodo Vencedor inevitably snatches the ball and sends over a shot that clears the bar with the grace of a seagull escaping a beach.
In the end, FC Thun had 64% possession in the second half, which in the grand scheme of things means exactly nothing—like a really long text message that says “k.” Wadenswil left with three points, a clean sheet, and the quiet satisfaction of a team that knows how to win ugly.
“We didn’t play well,” Thun captain Jakubovič admitted, shaking his head. “But at least the clouds didn’t ruin the match. The match ruined the match.”>>

The draw match
26 of the II. Swiss league brought a match between the home team Vernier and the away team SV07 Überraschung Wald. The weather forecasters had been saying "*weather*" since the morning. And so it was clear that we were in for an interesting match. The equipment of the home team Vernier was pathetic. The club equipment of the visiting team SV07 Überraschung Wald was pathetic. Everything was ready, so the head referee started the football match with the opening whistle. The visitors SV07 Überraschung Wald took the lead in the 40 minute, when Meinking with a beautiful and especially accurate shot gave the home goalkeeper almost no chance to make a successful save. The visitors SV07 Überraschung Wald went to the locker room satisfied. The home team Vernier worked hard in the second act and were rewarded with an equaliser in the 57 minute. In the end, both teams still had some half chances, but no more goals were scored. The result 1:1 therefore means a points sharing, which was more than fair, as this match was pronounced a draw. >>
