Vevey Sports Suffer Late Heartbreak as Bulle Win 3-2

A dramatic finish saw Bulle snatch a 3-2 victory at Vevey Sports in the Switzerland Division 1 League on 16 May 2026. The visitors scored twice in the final ten minutes to overturn a 2-1 deficit, leaving the home fans stunned.

End-to-End First Half

The match started at a blistering pace. Vevey took an early lead in the 7th minute when Lorenzo Ferri headed in from a free kick. Bulle equalised just after the quarter-hour mark through a well-taken strike from Mathieu Blaser, who cut inside and curled the ball into the far corner. Both teams had chances, but the score remained 1-1 at the break.

Second Half Twist

Vevey regained the lead in the 55th minute. A defensive mix-up allowed Kevin Rüegg to pounce and prod the ball home from close range. The home side looked comfortable until the 82nd minute, when Bulle substitute Adrien Zuffi equalised with a powerful header from a corner. Then, in the 89th minute, Florian Gex completed the turnaround, firing a loose ball into the roof of the net after a goalmouth scramble.

Tactical Observations

Vevey’s defence had been solid for most of the game but wilted under pressure in the final stages. Bulle’s manager made shrewd substitutions, introducing fresh legs that exploited tired legs. The visitors’ movement in the box became too much for Vevey to handle.

Key Players

• Mathieu Blaser (Bulle) – Scored a fine equaliser and was a constant threat on the wing.
• Florian Gex (Bulle) – The match-winner with a poacher’s goal; showed great composure.
• Lorenzo Ferri (Vevey) – His early goal and all-round play deserved a better outcome.

Standings

The victory lifts Bulle to seventh place with 35 points, while Vevey Sports drop to ninth with 31. Both sides are safely mid-table, but Bulle can now dream of a top-half finish.
