Thun 0:7 in Poznan – St. Gallen without a win in Conference League

Match proceedings in Poznan

With this result, Thun's European campaign has got off to a tough start right from the opening fixture. In the Conference League, the team needs to hold their own against several opponents from different leagues. A heavy away defeat at the outset can weigh heavily on morale and the table standings, even with several matchdays still to come.

At the same time as the game in Poland, FC St. Gallen were also in Conference League action. The Eastern Swiss side were likewise unable to win their match, meaning the Swiss clubs' evening in European competition ended without a positive result overall. At the time of reporting, no detailed information was available regarding the exact margin or scoreline of St. Gallen's result.

St. Gallen also point-less

Thun and St. Gallen represent Switzerland in the Conference League and must show in the coming weeks that they can compete at international level. The situation after the first matchday is considered unfavourable, particularly as group-stage leadership can be handed out early on.

The coaching staff and squad of FC Thun now face the task of working through the heavy defeat. Defensive organisation at set pieces is likely to be a central topic of analysis following the goals conceded by Skrzypczak and Murawski. A swift response is also required with a view to the Swiss domestic league.

Outlook on the upcoming fixtures

FC St. Gallen, as the second Swiss representative, also endured a difficult evening and return home without points. The Eastern Swiss side must seek their chances in the upcoming matches in order not to lose touch with the middle of the table.

Overall, the results reflect a mixed start for the Swiss clubs in the Conference League season. While Thun were clearly beaten in Poznan, St. Gallen also failed to win, meaning the two Swiss representatives' haul from this matchday amounts to zero.
