Liss secured a comprehensive 6-0 victory over Oberthurgau in the MySports League on Wednesday evening. The hosts ran out comfortable winners at home, extending their winning streak while the visitors remain winless after six matches. By then, the result had already confirmed what many were expecting from this fixture.
Liss took control early and never looked back, with the home side showing the quality difference between the two clubs. To be fair, Oberthurgau have struggled all season, sitting at the bottom of the table with six defeats from six games. The visitors simply could not find any rhythm against a Liss side that had won four of their seven matches so far.
We had predicted a home victory with 71 per cent confidence before kick-off, and the result vindicated that assessment. The hosts were second to nothing in most areas, pressing high and converting their opportunities. And here's the thing — when a team like Liss finds its flow, opposition sides rarely know how to contain them.
The recent form of both sides told the story before the match even began. Liss had won their last two games 3-0 against Zeeven and 3-2 against Langenthal, bouncing back from a defeat to Düben-dorf. Oberthurgau, meanwhile, had lost their last five consecutive matches, including heavy defeats to Zeeven and Freshan-Montagny. The momentum was clearly with the home side.
What this result means for the standings is straightforward. Liss move further clear in fifth place with 12 points from seven games, while Oberthurgau remain rooted to 12th with zero points after six matches. The gap between the two sides in the table could not be wider, and this performance did nothing to suggest that will change anytime soon.
