The closed-door match, intended to be confidential, was played in three 30-minute periods. Details of the scoreline were leaked on social media after a Luzern youth player shared clips on TikTok, according to Swiss news outlet Blick. The footage, which included appearances from Juventus forward Alisha Lehmann and Alayah Pilgrim, reportedly gained over 70,000 views before being removed.

This isn't the first instance of the Swiss team facing younger opposition during their Euro 2025 preparations. They previously lost 2-1 to FC Solothurn's U-15 side but secured a 2-1 victory against FC Biel's U-15s.

Despite the surprising result, the Swiss Football Association has attempted to downplay the significance of the defeat. Spokesperson Sven Micosse stated: "It's not uncommon in women's football to compete against junior teams. The goal is to bring a certain competitive element. The focus during this phase of preparation is on the physical aspect. Regardless of the result, these training matches are very similar to our international matches in terms of intensity and mileage."
