FC Schaffhausen secured a narrow 2-1 victory over AC Bellinzona in a tightly contested Challenge League fixture. Schaffhausen's early dominance was reflected in their first-half goals at 12 and 36 minutes, asserting a strong lead. This early aggressive play was crucial, allowing Schaffhausen to dictate the tempo and pressure AC Bellinzona into defensive mistakes that ultimately provided the home team with opportunities to capitalize.

In the second half, AC Bellinzona attempted to mount a comeback, scoring at 63 minutes, which highlighted their improved offensive organization. Despite enjoying more corner kicks, they struggled to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. Schaffhausen's defense held firm, blocking key shots and preventing Bellinzona from gaining significant momentum.

Discipline and fouls played a significant role in disrupting both teams' rhythm. Schaffhausen received three yellow cards, indicating a more aggressive approach that led to defensive resilience. Bellinzona maintained better discipline with only one yellow card, but it was perhaps their lack of pressing that limited further attacking threats. Despite their later pressure, Schaffhausen's early goals and effective game management held off Bellinzona's attacks, ensuring the home team's victory.
