Kadetten Schaffhausen vs Wacker Thun

Kadetten's first-half surge proved decisive. After Wacker Thun had kept pace early, a concentrated spell of scoring from the home side around the midway point of the first half opened a lead Wacker Thun could never recover. The seven-goal final margin reflected a contest where Kadetten's superior depth and firepower — traits that have earned them 17 wins from 20 meetings in this fixture since 2022 — told over the full distance.

Kadetten Schaffhausen's attack spread the scoring burden effectively, consistent with their reputation as the NLA's most prolific side. The home team's fast-break execution and six-metre finishing were particularly sharp against a Wacker Thun defence that had held Stäfa to 32 just three days earlier.

For Wacker Thun, the ability to score 35 goals against the league champions demonstrated their own attacking quality, but defensive lapses — particularly during Kadetten's decisive first-half run — proved costly.

The 42-35 scoreline (77 total goals) sits well above the average for this fixture, which had produced 58 goals per game across 20 previous meetings. The contest comfortably cleared the 55-goal mark that has been a consistent feature of this rivalry — both teams have scored in all 20 H2H matches, and all 20 have gone over 2.5 total goals. The 42 goals by Kadetten is the highest single-team total in the history of this fixture.

Kadetten Schaffhausen move to 2-0 in the 2026/27 NLA season after back-to-back wins, reaffirming their status as title favourites after winning the championship in 2025/26. Wacker Thun, who also opened with a win against Stäfa, drop to 1-1 in the early campaign but will take heart from their offensive output against the league's benchmark side.

Kadetten Schaffhausen's next fixture sees them continue their league campaign as they look to build on this emphatic start. Wacker Thun will aim to bounce back and address the defensive issues exposed in Schaffhausen.

A statement performance from Kadetten Schaffhausen. Scoring 42 goals against any NLA opponent is formidable; doing it against a Wacker Thun side that started the season with a win sends a clear message to the rest of the league. The defending champions look every bit the team to beat.
