Hur secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Basel in a club friendly match on Monday evening. The game took place at the home ground under lights on 18th August 2026. The hosts made no mistakes from the opening whistle and kept a clean sheet throughout.
That result sent a message about Hur's current state. They had lost 3-5 to Lannau Tigers just six days earlier, but bounced back with a comfortable win against Wetzikon before that defeat. The 3-0 scoreline ended a barren spell for the home side's attack in friendlies.
Basel came into the game with mixed recent form. They had beaten Langenthal 5-0 on 14th August, but that victory followed a string of results against Visp that included two defeats and a draw. The loss at Hur ended a run of three unbeaten games for the visitors.
The contrast between the two sides was stark. Hur had been inconsistent against La-Chaux-de-Fonds earlier in the year, losing 1-2 and drawing 3-6 before winning 7-2. Basel's encounters with Visp showed similar volatility, with results ranging from a 3-1 win to a 0-3 defeat. Both teams have had their ups and downs this season.
The 3-0 margin tells you everything about how the game played out. Hur kept knocking on the door and took their chances when they came. Basel's defence looked vulnerable from the start, and things came to a head when the third goal went in. The visitors will need to regroup before their next fixture.
