FC WIL 1900 vs Brühl

Wil's early control evaporated after the first wave of substitutions at half-time disrupted their rhythm. Brühl sensed vulnerability and exploited it immediately through Bahtiyari's second goal. Hämmerli's side needed a moment of fortune to reclaim the lead — and got it through a rare error from the Brühl goalkeeper that Bunjaku punished without hesitation.

• Bunjaku (FC Wil) — the match-winner, showing composure to score from distance in the dying moments when the game seemed destined for a draw.
• Bahtiyari (Brühl) — scored twice against his former club and was the primary reason Brühl came back into the match.
• Jacovic (FC Wil) — opened the scoring with a well-timed header from a corner, setting the early tone.

The scoreline (3-2) continues a pattern in this fixture: all four meetings between the sides dating back to 2021 have produced over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in two of them. Wil's three pre-season results — a 3-2 win over Grasshoppers, a 0-2 loss to Luzern, and this 3-2 win over Brühl — suggest a team capable of scoring but still porous defensively. Brühl, who drew 1-1 with Winterthur and 6-6 with Widnau in their other recent friendlies, showed they can trouble higher-division opposition.

FC Wil 1900 finish their pre-season campaign with two wins and one defeat. They open the 2026/27 Challenge League season away at FC Rapperswil-Jona on Friday, 24 July. Brühl continue their own preparations for the Promotion League campaign.

A pre-season friendly that offered both encouragement and concern for Wil. The attacking threat is clear, but the defensive lapses that let a 2-0 lead slip will need addressing before competitive action begins. Brühl's spirited fightback was the story of the middle hour — but the final say belonged to Bunjaku.
