Lausanne win in Bern YB botches start to 2026 after double VAR shock

Young Boys' bid to catch up in the Super League starts the new year with a misstep. The Bernese lost 3:1 at home to Lausanne-Sport.

New year, similar problems: Young Boys' third defeat in a row was also caused by conceding an early goal and a sending-off hampered a possible turnaround. Against Lausanne-Sport, it was the Englishman Nathan Bulter-Oyedeji who took advantage of Bern's weakening defense after just over twelve minutes. And 17-year-old YB defender Olivier Mambwa was shown a red card in stoppage time of the first half for a dangerous tackle, which was pointed out by the video referee.

Before the break, the decimated YB, who had equalized through league top scorer Chris Bedia, were punished with a second goal. Once again, it was the VAR that recognized a handball by Loris Benito in his own penalty area. Gaoussou Diakité scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-1. Spaniard Omar Janneh scored the final goal in his first Super League game in the 88th minute, after Lausanne had missed one or two good chances to score a third. YB's best chance was missed by Alan Virginius in a lost direct duel with Lausanne goalkeeper Karlo Letica (68').

The 3-1 defeat against Lausanne was also YB's second defeat in a row in the Wankdorf. The last time the Bernese lost two consecutive home games in the Super League was in April 2017. Gerardo Seoane's team's next task awaits on Thursday with a home game in the Europa League against Lyon, before continuing their championship campaign on Sunday at leaders Thun.
