"Thun are top of the table. Not only that they opened a 15-point gap over second-placed St Gallen after 31 matches that produced 23 wins and 72 goals scored."
"Mauro Lustrinelli played for Thun when they qualified for the Champions League in 2005 and is now head coach. Now Lustrinelli is writing another glorious chapter in Thun's history."
