When ref Adrien Jaccottet whistled the barrage second leg in the 94th minute, the huge tension was over – on both sides! The people of Vaduz cheer like crazy, even with coach Mario Frick there is no stopping them. Pure ecstasy! After three years in the Challenge League, the people of Vaduz are climbing back into the Swiss elite class, and of course they celebrate it appropriately.

The picture that FC Thun is giving in these seconds couldn’t be more contrary. The players sink to their knees, lie on the floor, stunned, sobered, sad. Coach Marc Schneider has to comfort his son on the pitch. Many of the 1000 spectators still stay in the Stockhorn Arena, some sit quietly, others are angry, let their frustration out on the cheering Vaduzers, provoked above all by Tunahan Cicek, who celebrated his 3-2 in front of them extensively and cheekily.
–
The Thun descent is a fact despite an unbelievable second half of the season. After ten years en suite in the Super League, things are going down. The 4: 3 victory in the second duel with Vaduz is not enough. A goal is missing at the end to at least force extra time – in a barrage where the away goal rule does not apply.

“There is always a future”
Nicolas Hasler, who was brought in as leader during the winter break together with Leonardo Bertone, proves greatness after the game, makes the rounds in the stadium, thanks the spectators, steps at the barricade fence, speaks to the frustrated supporters. He then told the media: “I just feel a huge disappointment. We screwed it up in the first leg, we had too much respect, maybe too scared. So we made it difficult for ourselves. “

What about now with FC Thun, which brought an investor on board in winter thanks to the Chinese-American Pacific Media Group (PMG), but (also) has to struggle because of the Corona crisis? Shortly after the final whistle, President Markus Lüthi said: “If I say something right now, it would be an unqualified and overly emotional analysis – we are simply completely empty. We will do our homework by the end of next week and then communicate how things are going. “

Vaduz rises despite bankruptcy: This Cicek hit breaks Thun’s neck(02:53)

What to expect Lüthi announces: “We will probably be forced to make a change on all levels.” Is the club’s existence threatened? That remains open. One thing is clear: stadium costs, for example, are more difficult to cope with as a Challenge League club, and certain sponsorship contracts have to be reassessed. Lüthi remains confident that FC Thun will continue to exist in some form: “There is always a future.” In any case, the PMG will stay on board, it was agreed from the start.

What about coach Marc Schneider and head of sport Andres Gerber? Both are also combative after relegation. Schneider told SRF: “I’m from Thun and I really want to continue as a coach. But I’m not making that decision. ” Gerber sees it as a “duty to keep going in order to get back to the top as quickly as possible”.

Big celebration in the country
While the people of Thun give the media sober information, the big, exuberant promotion party is taking place in the Vaduz cabin. Coach Frick says: “A dream has come true. Nobody believed in us. But we were just burning hot. Now there will certainly be a free night in the Ländle! “
–
Cicek also speaks of a “great feeling after such a season in which we worked our way up”, who tries to reconcile himself with Thun after the end of the game and says about his provocation: “There were emotions in the game, I think you should do not overestimate. I’m sorry for FC Thun! “
–
From ninth place in the Challenge League last September to the barrage – to promotion: the FCV has done a mega catch-up! A lot of champagne will flow there, right? Frick replies with a smile: “We Liechtensteiners drink beer!”
