Horgen secured a 26-22 victory over Talville in the Swiss Cup on 25 August 2026. The match took place at 18:30 local time and concluded with the visitors taking all three points. It was an important result for the away side, who had been struggling in recent fixtures.
The final scoreline reflected a comfortable margin for Horgen. Talville could not match the pace set by their opponents throughout the contest. The visitors showed composure when it mattered most, converting their opportunities into goals.
That result stood in stark contrast to Horgen's recent record. They had lost 27-32 to Altdorf on 27 August 2024, and followed it with a 25-31 defeat to Espoir on 5 September 2023. Two losses in succession had raised questions about their current form.
Winning this cup tie broke that pattern. Horgen proved they could bounce back when expectations were at their lowest. The victory suggests the side have found their rhythm again after a difficult period.
Talville will now have to regroup ahead of their next fixture. They faced a tough challenge against a team that had nothing to lose and played accordingly. The cup competition offers redemption for those looking to turn their season around.
