On 10 October 2026 Lugano conquered the Tissot Arena in Bienne, prevailing 3-2 in a tight match decided in the third period. For the bianconeri it is the third consecutive useful result: after the win in Lausanne and the point earned the day before at home against Zurich, they gain another three points.

Robert Mayer guarded Lugano's goal, while Olle Lycksell took the place of Rasmus Kupari. The first period ended goalless, despite chances created by both sides. The game opened at 23'47'', when Skinner capitalised on an assist from Andersson to score 1-0 and his sixth goal of the season.

Five minutes later, Innala equalised with the help of Fazzini, taking advantage of a mistake by the Bernese defence. At 30'15'' Tanner put Lugano ahead for the first time, on a pass from Olsson. Bienne replied at 38'12'' with Sever, assisted by Haas, making it 2-2 before the second break.

The decisive goal

In the final period the turning point came at 50'42''. Innala scored his brace after an assist from Thürkauf, taking him to seven seasonal goals. Lugano then protected the lead until the final buzzer, managing patiently a frantic finish.

The sequence of goals is therefore 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2 and 2-3. The result brings Lugano's tally to seven points in the last three games and confirms the progress of recent outings, after a subdued start to the season. The match was played in front of 5'713 spectators. The referees were Piechaczek and Hungerbühler, with Stalder and Humair overseeing. The report notes 2x2' of penalties for Bienne and 3x2' for Lugano. The decisive goal closed a back-and-forth that opened in the second third: Lugano had first equalised, then taken the lead, subsequently conceded 2-2 and finally responded again.

Operational details

Match analysis

The 3-2 in Biel has a specific significance in the phase recounted by the report: it is Lugano's third consecutive positive result, after the win in Lausanne and the point earned at home against Zurich. In three games, the Bianconeri have collected seven points, a tally that enabled the team to make up for a below-par start to the season. The change of pace therefore comes from the run, not just the decisive goal.

The weight of the phases

The structure of the match also supports this reading. The goalless first period leaves the game open; the second produces four goals, two apiece; the third yields just one, Innala's. Lugano was not rattled by Skinner's go-ahead goal: the equalizer came five minutes later, through Innala and Fazzini. Tanner then put the Ticinese side ahead for the first time, before Sever equalized again. The final response, in the third period, again came from Innala, set up by Thürkauf.

The offensive contribution is thus spread among several players. Andersson provides the assist for Skinner's 1-0; Fazzini is involved in the equalizer; Olsson sets up Tanner; Haas assists Sever; Thürkauf builds the move for the 2-3. Innala stands out for his brace and the tally of seven goals this season, while Lugano holds the lead until the final horn. The closing stages were frenetic, but managed patiently.

Discipline rounds out the scoresheet: Biel finishes with two two-minute penalties, Lugano with three. The statistic remains separate from the sequence of goals and accompanies the match report, along with Robert Mayer's presence in goal and the inclusion of Olle Lycksell in place of Rasmus Kupari.

In the other matches, Ajoie came from behind against Langnau: trailing 1-4 at 40', it finished 5-4 after overtime, with Honka scoring the decisive goal. Geneva beat Davos 3-2, Lausanne won 4-1 in Rapperswil and the Lions defeated Fribourg 5-4 after overtime. Lugano's victory thus fits into the context of the other games, without reference to the standings.
