Baden vs Rotkreuz

With Baden leading through Barletta's strike and a goal from an unnamed trialist, Rotkreuz's response — scoring twice to level the contest — denied the hosts victory in their final warm-up fixture. The inability to hold a two-goal lead in a pre-season setting was flagged internally as a concern ahead of the league restart.

Alessandro Barletta — The Baden forward was one of two confirmed goalscorers, showing sharpness in the final third during the pre-season run-out.

Baden's trialist — The unnamed trialist also found the net, though the club gave no indication whether the performance earned a contract offer.

The provider data shows a 2-2 scoreline with no half-time breakdown, suggesting the goals may have been clustered in the second half. The match was Baden's last test before the Promotion League restart, following a 0-1 defeat to FC Dietikon in the previous friendly — meaning Baden ended their pre-season without a win in two outings.

Baden entered the 2026-27 Promotion League season immediately after this draw, sitting 16th in the table. A club article published ahead of their league opener against FC Lugano U21 described the 2-2 result and the Dietikon loss as reasons the team "did not exactly inspire optimism" (source: fcbaden1897.ch). Rotkreuz, competing in the 2. Liga Interregional (tier 5), used the fixture as part of their own pre-season build-up.

A standard pre-season friendly that delivered goals but little else to separate two Swiss sides from different divisions. Baden's failure to win against a team two tiers below them was noted internally as a warning sign — and the Promotion League campaign that followed would test whether the squad had truly learned from it.
