Friendlies Clubs· Season 2026
Servette FC beat Stade Lausanne-Ouchy 2-0 in a pre-season friendly at Vessy, with new signing Mathis Lambourde scoring both second-half goals.
Match Analysis
AI SummaryHow it unfolded
After a goalless first half, the breakthrough came after the interval through Lambourde, the 20-year-old forward signed from Hellas Verona for €2.30m in June. The French attacker struck twice to secure the win for Thomas Häberli's side in a match played behind closed doors at the club's training base in Vessy, Geneva.
Servette had drawn 1-1 with Stade Nyonnais in their first pre-season friendly on 4 July and will face Étoile Carouge on 11 July in their next test.
The turning point
Having failed to break through a stubborn SLO defence in the opening 45 minutes, Servette's half-time adjustments paid dividends when Lambourde opened the scoring shortly after the restart. His second goal, minutes later, put the result beyond doubt and gave Häberli a positive return from the workout.
Key performers
Mathis Lambourde (Servette FC) — The new arrival from Hellas Verona was the match-winner with a second-half brace, demonstrating the finishing ability that prompted Servette to invest €2.30m in the 20-year-old. His movement off the ball and composure in front of goal were the key differences between the sides.
By the numbers — interpreted
The 0-0 half-time scoreline suggests a tight first period, typical of early pre-season where fitness takes priority over rhythm. Servette's two second-half goals reflect a step up in intensity after the break, common in friendlies where managers use the opportunity to rotate and test different combinations. The clean sheet will also please Häberli, with new signing Quentin Maceiras — the right-back signed from Puskás AFC — likely featuring in the defensive setup.
What it means
This was Servette's second pre-season fixture of the summer, following the 1-1 draw with Stade Nyonnais on 4 July. The Grenat face Étoile Carouge at Vessy (behind closed doors) on 11 July before opening their Swiss Super League campaign at home to FC Basel on 25 July. Stade Lausanne-Ouchy, who competed in the Challenge League last season, continue their own preparations for the 2026/27 campaign.
Servette have been active in the summer transfer window: Lambourde arrived from Verona, Maceiras joined from Puskás AFC, while Loun Srdanovic was sold to LOSC Lille, Benjamin Keita to FC Wil, Keyan Varela loaned to RKC Waalwijk, and Malek Ishuayed loaned to SC Kriens.
Verdict
A routine pre-season win for Servette, headlined by Lambourde's first goals in a Grenat shirt. The clean sheet and the new signing's impact are the positives Häberli will take into the final friendly against Étoile Carouge before the competitive season begins against Basel.
