Bern swept aside Augsburger Panther 6:1 in a club friendly match on Monday evening in Augsburg. The visitors left no doubt about their superiority with a convincing display across all three periods of play.
And here's the thing — you could read the mood of this game before it even started. Bern came in with momentum from their last five matches, while the hosts had mixed results leading up to this encounter.
The visitors worked the channels effectively throughout, creating chances at will. Bern's recent form suggests they have been in sharp business — five wins and a loss across their previous five outings.
To be fair, Augsburger Panther did not travel to make up the numbers. They had shown flashes of quality in their own recent run, including a 4:1 victory over Regensburg and a narrow 5:6 defeat to Wolfsburg.
But by then the pattern was clear. Bern took control and did not let go, with their attack proving too sharp for the home side to handle. The final score reflected the gulf in performance levels.
The result extends Bern's positive run while ending a promising spell for the hosts. Six goals against just one tells you everything about where this game went.
