The cup football festival attracted 2448 visitors to Frutigen on Saturday evening with the best weather. FC Frutigen, who took part in this year’s cup thanks to their fair play, put up a good fight against the favored opponent from Thun on the home football pitch. In the duel between the Challenge League team and the third division, there were no goals in the first few minutes, FC Thun was unable to convert the superiority into something countable for a long time. Before Daniel Dos Santos scored an important goal just before the end of the first half, FC Frutigen even had a very good chance, but goalie Nino Ziswiler saved his team from falling behind against the lower league team.
Scoring second half
The goal from Dos Santos broke the spell, however, in the second half FC Thun played exciting attacking football and scored a total of four more goals. Marc Gutbub scored for Thun in the 53rd minute, later his partner Nando Toggenburger did the same. In the 75th minute, Miguel Castroman made it 4-0 shortly after coming on as a substitute, and just before the final whistle U21 player Nick Berger shone with his first competitive goal for Rot-Wyss.
perfect birthday
For Geburikind and Frutiger Erik Wyssen, the cup evening was a perfect return to his youth club: After the clear victory, the 2448 fans agreed “Happy Birthday” and he was able to celebrate with his colleagues. The evening almost got even better for the central defender: he almost scored an absolute dream goal with a side kick.
