Zurich Aarau and Schaffhausen Cadets met in the Swiss National League A on 26 August 2026, with the away side securing a 28-20 victory. The result extends Schaffhausen's perfect start to the campaign, while Aarau's opening fixture concluded in a draw during their earlier encounter. Both clubs entered the evening with different trajectories in the table.
Schaffhausen sit at the summit of the standings after two matches, having won both and accumulated four points. Aarau occupy eighth place following their single game, which ended level and left them on zero points. The gap between the two sides remains clear at this early stage of the season.
The Cadets have shown consistency in their recent run, winning three of their last five fixtures across April and May. Their victories included a 31-30 win over Bern and a 38-29 result against the same opponent. Aarau's recent form against Handball Stafa has been more mixed, with two wins and three losses in their last five meetings.
With only one match under their belt, Aarau's position in the table offers little indication of where they might finish. Schaffhausen's two-game winning streak suggests momentum, though the season is far from over. The result leaves the home side looking for points in their next outing.
