Thun 2-2 Lech Poznan: Walemark’s Equaliser Secures a Draw

FC Thun and Lech Poznan drew 2-2 at Stockhorn Arena in the UEFA Europa League play-offs on Thursday, August 27, 2026. Lech Poznan struck first, but Thun turned the match around before the interval. P. Walemark’s second-half equaliser ensured the points were shared after an open contest in Thun.

Lech lead before Thun respond

Lech Poznan made the quicker impact, opening the scoring in the 17th minute. R. Gumny finished a move assisted by L. Palma to put the visitors ahead. Thun responded only five minutes later, with S. Lengen levelling after receiving the assist from F. Dursun.

The home side then completed the turnaround shortly before half-time. In the 43rd minute, F. Dursun scored Thun’s second goal, with N. Maier providing the assist. The goal gave Luca Privitelli Gian’s 4-4-2 side a 2-1 lead at the break against Niels Frederiksen’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

Walemark restores parity

Lech made changes as it looked for a way back into the match. D. Hakans was replaced by P. Walemark in the 26th minute, and Walemark later delivered the equaliser. He scored in the 68th minute following an assist from M. Lis, bringing Lech level at 2-2.

The visitors also introduced R. Murawski for A. Kozubal at half-time, while Thun made two interval changes, sending on T. Strannegard for F. Fehr and F. Saiz for J. Roth. Thun later replaced N. Maier with A. Ilic in the 56th minute and F. Dursun with R. Braschi in the 61st. Neither side found a third goal after Walemark’s equaliser, and the match ended in a draw.

Discipline and match context

The referee, Halil Umut Meler of Türkiye, issued five yellow cards. Thun’s N. Maier was booked in the 32nd minute and L. Passavant in the 75th, while Lech players G. Berggren, P. Walemark and M. Skrzypczak were cautioned in the 40th, 53rd and 90th minutes respectively.

The result reflected a match that changed direction twice: Lech moved in front, Thun took control of the score before half-time, and Walemark brought the visitors back. Dursun stood out for Thun with a goal and an assist, while Walemark made a decisive contribution for Lech after coming on.

Impact on form and standings

No standings data is available for either team, so the draw cannot be placed in the current Europa League table. In the supplied pre-match form, Thun had recorded a win followed by two losses, most recent first, while Lech had three successive wins. Thun now adds a draw to that sequence, and Lech’s winning run is followed by a shared result.
