Stade Lausanne-Ouchy stuns Grasshoppers to reach Swiss Cup final for first time

Saturday, 18 April 2026, 20:07 · 1 min read

Second-division Stade Lausanne-Ouchy (a Challenge League club from the canton of Vaud) beat top-flight Grasshoppers 2–0 at home on Saturday to reach the Swiss Cup final for the first time in their history, becoming only the tenth lower-division side ever to do so. Landry Nomel opened the scoring in the 52nd minute with a precise strike from the edge of the area, before Vasco Tritten sealed the result with a direct corner in stoppage time, with Grasshoppers also reduced to ten men after Sven Köhler was sent off in the 83rd minute. Lausanne-Ouchy will face either Yverdon or St. Gallen in the final at Bern's Wankdorf stadium on 24 May, having now eliminated three Super League clubs in this season's competition — a feat no lower-division side had managed in 23 years.
