SC Kriens lost 3-1 away against the top team from Thun. Match winner is central defender Nikki Havenaar as a double goalscorer.
Despite heavy snowfall, the team from Kriens were able to play on a perfect surface last night. Thanks to the Thuner lawn clearers on Saturday morning. Unfortunately that’s it with the niceties. The home team started better, powerful. Yes, Thun immediately had more play and an early goal. Havenaar with a header after the first corner kick.
However, the SCK did not have a major impact on this unnecessary goal. The central Swiss played aggressively, lurked for counter-attack opportunities and stole again and again into the half of the pitch of Thun. That was often good in the beginning, but in front of goal they acted with too little assertiveness.
There were then many clear chances to score, neither for Kriens nor for Thun, at least until the break. The Bernese Oberland too often lacked accuracy in decisive offensive moments.
But that changed after the restart. Because then Havenaar struck again. Again after a corner. A copy of the 1:0. However, it could also be known that the two-meter man has his strengths in the ball game.
The third goal, shortly after the 2-0, was marked by Kyeremateng after Kriens lost the ball during the build-up. Annoying. Kriens made it pretty easy for Thun to score goals in all goal scenes. Far too easy. In between, Kriens didn’t play a bad game, in Thun’s driving snow and with a fairly long list of injuries. For example, midfielder Anthony Bürgisser had to play as a full-back.
Yes, the SCK had its moments. Also in this game. Had good scenes in front of the Thuner goal, was able to shorten the penalty after a Thuner handball and then had more game shares in the final phase. But it wasn’t enough for more than a penalty goal.
Next Saturday, SC Kriens will play FC Wil at home (6 p.m., Kleinfeld).
