Munich Red Bulls saw off Lausanne 4-2 in a club friendly on August 29th, 2026. The visitors had come into the match in mixed form, while the hosts carried momentum from recent results. «And here's the thing» — the scoreline doesn't tell you everything about how the game unfolded.
The hosts have been finding results lately. They beat Dynamo Pardubice 3-2 on August 22nd, then lost narrowly to Salzburg 2-3 the day before. Before that came a comfortable 5-2 win over Black Wings Linz. «By then» you'd have sensed they were clicking into something.
Lausanne's recent run has been less consistent. A 4-2 victory over Bremerhaven on August 18th was followed by a 3-4 defeat to Fribourg-Gottéron four days earlier. They'd also dropped points in two matches against Servette, winning 3-2 but losing 1-5 and 3-4 in between.
Four goals to two suggests a game where both sides found the net regularly. «To be fair» neither team's recent form predicted such an open contest entirely. The hosts' attacking intent showed through in the result, while Lausanne's defence has been a concern in their last few outings.
The friendly served as preparation for both sides ahead of their respective seasons. Munich Red Bulls will take confidence from the win, especially given their mixed results in recent weeks. Lausanne have work to do on defensive solidity — they've conceded heavily in three of their last five matches.
