It was the kind of result that clawed their way back into contention. The academy graduates at Санкт-Галлен had lost both previous meetings with Пфад Винтертур this season — 26:28 and 24:32 in April. By then the visitors looked comfortable. This time they were out of sight by half-time, only to feel the pressure as the second period wore on.
Пфад Винтертур had come in with momentum. Their last outing saw them thrash Хандбол Штафа 39:21. Before that they had edged past Сухр-Аараu 33:24. Yet the high line was picked apart here. Санкт-Галлен's captain dragged them through it when it mattered.
Standings after the match: Санкт-Галлен remain seventh with two points from three games. Пфад Винтертур stay third on four points. The gap between them is small, but the psychology has shifted.
What it means for the league is hard to say after just three rounds. Both sides have played the same number of fixtures. Neither has lost yet. The title race is wide open, and these two are already tangled up in it.
