HSC Suhr Aarau end Tigers' hopes in Swiss Cup
HSC Suhr Aarau beat Tigers 27:19 in the Swiss Cup on 10 October 2026. The away side moved through to the next round after a straightforward afternoon. By then, the visitors had already shown they could handle pressure in tight fixtures.
Looking at Tigers' recent form, they had picked up two wins against Western teams and Nyon before this setback. The loss to Aarau comes after a narrow defeat to Bern just days earlier. Things came to a head when the visitors found their rhythm.
Suhr Aarau's run had been mixed before this result. They had beaten Handball Staffa comfortably but lost to Bern and Zurich in their two most recent outings. To be fair, the swing in results suggests inconsistency rather than decline.
The 27:19 scoreline tells you enough about the match. Tigers gave away too many chances in the opening period and could not recover. Suhr Aarau kept their composure when it mattered and did not look back.
This result means Tigers are out of the Cup while Suhr Aarau advance. The visitors have now turned a corner after their earlier defeats. One thing is clear: they showed character when the game was on the line.
