Bulle vs Stade Nyonnais

Stade Nyonnais dominated the opening hour through Londja's individual brilliance — the new signing scored either side of half-time to give his side a commanding two-goal cushion. But the momentum shifted decisively after Bulle's 66th-minute strike. From that point, the Promotion League side pressed higher, and Nyon's defensive organisation, disrupted by a flurry of pre-season substitutions, could not hold. The equaliser arrived seven minutes from time, completing a comeback that told the Nyonnais coaching staff more than the scoreline.

Ruben Londja (Stade Nyonnais) — A debut hat-trick is as good as it gets in a friendly. The 20-year-old, who joined on 8 July 2026 from FC Sion (SFL.ch), scored in the 11th, 33rd and 60th minutes, showing sharp movement and finishing. Player of the match.

Ethan Brandy (Stade Nyonnais) — The defender opened the scoring inside three minutes and linked well with Londja during the first-half blitz.

Bulle's second-half response — Without named goalscorers available in official sources, the collective resilience deserves credit. Four different Bulle players found the net across the 90 minutes, with two in the final 24 minutes to rescue a draw against a team from the division above.

The 4-4 scoreline and the 2-3 half-time advantage tell the story of a game in two halves. Stade Nyonnais scored three times in the first 33 minutes and controlled the tempo. Bulle, by contrast, grew into the match after the interval, netting twice in the final 25 minutes. The eight goals across the 90 minutes reflect a typical pre-season friendly: high intensity early, looser defensive structures late as wholesale changes were made. No cards were shown in the match, per the official match data.

This is a pre-season friendly for both sides, so the result carries no competitive weight. For Stade Nyonnais, Londja's hat-trick is an encouraging sign ahead of the 2026-27 Challenge League campaign, which kicks off on 24 July against Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy (sfl.ch). Bulle, who finished sixth in the Promotion League last season, will take heart from their fighting spirit against a team from the division above. Their next pre-season fixture is against CS Chênois (Facebook, FC Bulle).

A chaotic, entertaining friendly that told both managers more about squad depth than any single result. Londja's hat-trick is the headline, but the defensive fragility that allowed Bulle back into the game will concern the Nyonnais coaching staff. Pre-season is about finding rhythm — both sides found plenty, for different reasons.
