Lucerne did not find it as easy at the start against their opponents from three leagues below as they had in the first two rounds, scoring the first goal after ten minutes against Perlen-Buchrain (3-0) and in the first minute against Bosna Neuchâtel. In the duel with Zug, the Lucerne team needed 37 minutes before they could celebrate for the first time. Lars Villiger climbed higher than Fuat Sulimani and scored with his head.

After the break, Adrian Grbic and Lucas Ferreira made the difference within three minutes (52nd/55th). Both also scored with their heads, each after a free kick from Matteo Di Giusto. In the closing stages, Christopher Teichmann for the underdogs and 17-year-old Sandro Wyss for the Luzern professionals also got on the scoresheet.
