Kapfenberg Bulls secured a comfortable 94:71 victory over Lausanne Basket in the European Basketball League on 23 September 2026. The Austrian side showed no signs of the struggles that have defined their season so far, moving past a home side that had been searching for consistency.
The result leaves Kapfenberg eighth on the table with just one win from eight games. To be fair, they had not been finding the back of the net in the standings department, and this outing offered a different complexion entirely. The away end never stopped, feeding energy into a performance that ran away from expectations.
Lausanne's recent record tells a story of frustration. They had lost three consecutive games to Fribourg Olympic, including a 71:111 defeat, before edging past Union Neuchâtel in two tight contests. And here's the thing — this match did not follow that pattern of narrow margins. The visitors were in control of the tie from the outset.
Kapfenberg's recent form had been mixed against Oberwart Gunners, with wins and losses scattered across five meetings. By then, they had shown glimpses of what they could produce. This time they went for the jugular and ended a barren spell in the standings.
The 23-point margin speaks for itself. Lausanne had hoped to build on their narrow successes against Neuchâtel, but they were left exposed against a side that found its rhythm. The away side are unbeaten in this particular matchup, and the gap in the table may widen further if results do not shift.
