“Regional Football: Wattwil Bunt Draws Against Linth 04 2 While Kirchberg Falls to Münchwilen”

Wattwil Bunt conceded a goal in added time on Saturday and therefore had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Linth 04 2 at the bottom of the table.

However, if you know the exact circumstances, you can certainly speak of a deserved point. The opponent received several reinforcements from the 1st league team in order to be able to improve the starting position in the fight against the threat of relegation. Seen in this way, the performance of the Toggenburgers deserves respect.

The playful superiority of the home team should initially make itself felt, because after half an hour it was 1-0. An open exchange of blows then developed. A good twenty minutes before the final whistle, Captain Schneider equalized. When Bouchlaghem shot Wattwil Bunt in front a minute before the end of regular time, victory seemed within reach. Then added time began, in which the equalizer fell.

Kirchberg cannot double in Münchwilen

Two games in less than 24 hours was too much. Kirchberg, the surprisingly strong 4th division promoted team, turned a 1:3 lead into a 4:3 against Berg on Thursday evening thanks to a feat of strength.

But so much energy was lost that the Toggenburgers lacked in Münchwilen on Saturday. The 3:5 defeat was the logical consequence. Coach Domenico Esposito said: “We couldn’t repeat our usual performance, especially in the first half, and were quickly 3-0 down.”

This mortgage could no longer be repaid. Aron Schönenberger managed to make it 1:3 and Adrian Oberholzer to make it 2:4. But it shouldn’t be enough for more than a third goal from Mario Kuhn. Despite the setback, the Esposito team is one of the surprises of the season so far.
