FC Lausanne-Sport beats FC Winkeln 7-0 to advance in Swiss Cup
Lausanne Secures 7-0 Victory Over FC Winkeln in Swiss Cup
FC Lausanne-Sport earned a comfortable 7-0 victory against 2e ligue side FC Winkeln in the Swiss Cup on Sunday, advancing to the round of 16, rts.ch reported. The lopsided fixture at Stadion Gründenmoos provided a temporary reprieve for a Lausanne squad currently struggling at the bottom of the Super League table.
Playing in the second round of the tournament for the first time in club history, regional amateur side FC Winkeln hosted the Vaudois delegation in front of 110 traveling Lausanne supporters. The local club prepared a dedicated tifo display for the occasion, welcoming a professional top-flight opponent to St. Gallen. Lausanne arrived at the fixture carrying the weight of a difficult domestic campaign that includes four consecutive losses in Super League play.
Lausanne Secures Lead with Second-Half Goals
Enzo Molebe opened the scoring for the visitors in the 7th minute by finishing a team passing sequence with a right-footed shot. Lausanne maintained control into the interval with a narrow one-goal advantage, which the home crowd acknowledged with applause at halftime. The scoreline widened quickly after the break when Levy Nene doubled the lead in the 49th minute.
Molebe added his second goal of the match in the 55th minute to make it 3-0. Omar Janneh contributed a fourth goal in the 69th minute before setting up substitute Seydou Traoré with a backheel. Traoré completed a quick hat-trick with goals in the 72nd, 75th, and 87th minutes to cement the 7-0 final score. Goalkeeper Thomas Castella kept a clean sheet in his second official start of the season.
Upcoming Super League Fixtures
While the emphatic cup win offers confidence, attention shifts immediately back to domestic league survival. Lausanne sits at the bottom of the Super League standings with only one victory from its opening ten matches. The squad must translate this cup performance into league points during upcoming fixtures, starting with a match against Sion next Sunday.
