FC Thun, with Austrian legionnaire Furkan Dursun, is eliminated from the Europa League playoff after a 2:2 draw against Lech Posen. However, due to the 0:7 first-leg debacle, the initial situation was hopeless.

The second leg began as the first leg had ended. The Poles took the lead with a goal from Gumny (17'). This time, the team from the Bernese Oberland stayed in the game and managed to equalize (22'). Dursun assisted Lengen, who scored to make it 1:1.

Dursun with a strong performance

The 21-year-old former Rapid player had a good day at work. In the 43rd minute, he scored to give them a 2:1 lead. He was assisted by former Blau-Weiß Linz player Maier. He was substituted in the 61st minute.

Despite their comfortable aggregate lead, Posen did not want to lose and struck back again. Walemark scored the 2:2 equalizer, which also proved to be the final score (68'). With an aggregate score of 2:9, Lech Posen advances to the Europa League, while Thun moves on to the Conference League.
