EHC Frauenfeld hosted Wettkon in a club friendly on September 9, 2026, and the visitors ran out 8:2 winners. The match was played at 18:30 local time. It was one of those friendlies where the scoreline says more than the game itself.
Frauenfeld had come off a 8:1 win over Herisau five days earlier, followed by a 3:1 victory against Kusnacht. They had also beaten Dübenndorf 3:2 and lost narrowly to Zeeven 0:1. Wettkon's recent form was less consistent — they had lost 1:6 to Oberthurgau and 1:4 to Chur, though they had beaten Dübenndorf 4:1 in between.
And here's the thing about friendlies like this. The result tells you something about the gap between sides when it finally opens up. Eight goals against two doesn't suggest a tight contest from the start.
By then, the visitors had already shown they could finish. The old head settled them down when it mattered, and the match settled into a rhythm neither side would have expected going in.
The win moves Wettkon further from whatever they were chasing, while Frauenfeld will need to find answers before the competitive season gets going. That eight-goal margin is the headline, but friendlies are rarely about the final score.
