Bavois came from behind to beat Lausanne Sports U21 2‑1 in an entertaining Switzerland Division 1 League encounter on 9 May 2026. The home side rallied after a sluggish start to claim a deserved victory at the Stade des Peupliers.

Match Overview

Lausanne Sports U21 started brightly and took an early lead, but Bavois responded with grit and quality. A second‑half turnaround secured three points that push the hosts further up the third‑tier table. The young visitors showed promise but were undone by a lack of experience in key moments.

Key Moments

• 8th minute: Lausanne Sports U21’s striker Baptiste Sauthier fired home from a tight angle after a swift counter‑attack. 0‑1.
• 24th minute: Bavois winger Émile N’Guessan hit the post with a crisp left‑foot drive.
• 39th minute: Home keeper Yannick Müller made a fine save to keep the deficit at one.
• 53rd minute: Goal! 1‑1. Bavois forward Marvin Sène nodded in a cross from the right after a well‑worked move.
• 71st minute: Goal! 2‑1. Substitute Loïc Meyer curled a beautiful free‑kick over the wall and into the top corner.
• 88th minute: Lausanne’s late pressure saw a header cleared off the line.

Tactical Story

Bavois started in a 4‑2‑3‑1 but were caught out early by the U21 side’s pace on the break. Manager Fabrice Mazza switched to a 4‑4‑2 at half‑time, adding a second striker and more direct play. The change paid off as the hosts pinned Lausanne back and used width to create overloads. The young visitors tired in the final 20 minutes, unable to sustain their early intensity.

Standout Players

• Marvin Sène (Bavois): Scored the equaliser and was a constant menace with his movement.
• Loïc Meyer (Bavois): Came off the bench to score a brilliant winner – a moment of quality that decided the match.
• Baptiste Sauthier (Lausanne U21): Took his goal well and nearly added a second, but was starved of service after the break.

League Impact

The win moves Bavois up to fourth in the Switzerland Division 1 League standings, now just three points behind the promotion places. Lausanne Sports U21 drop to 11th, still in a safe mid‑table position but missing a chance to climb. The result keeps Bavois firmly in the promotion hunt with eight matches remaining.
