Swiss Cup Round of 64
Schaffhausen beat Rorschach 4:2 in the Swiss Cup Round of 64 on Friday. The visitors made it through to the next stage with a convincing performance away from home.
By then Schaffhausen had been building momentum. They went 3:0 against Kreuzlingen on 8 August, then edged past Paradiso 2:1 four days later. The form was there before this match.
Rorschach's recent record tells a different story. They lost 0:15 to St. Gallen back in 2022, followed by a 0:3 defeat to Basel in 2021. That 2:1 win over Dardania Lausanne in August 2021 was their last positive result.
And here's the thing — this was a straightforward cup tie. Schaffhausen were the stronger side on paper and showed it. No dramatic comebacks, no late drama. Just a team beating a weaker opponent when the game was still open.
To be fair, Rorschach did score twice. But four goals conceded is a lot when you're playing against a side that had just beaten Kreuzlingen 3:0. The match was settled long before the final whistle.
Schaffhausen move on in the cup. No standings to discuss here — this was a knockout stage fixture, not a league position battle. The run continues.
