    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Juventus star Lehmann and Alayah Pilgrim were both seen in the footage which was viewed over 70,000 times before being deleted. It's not the first encounter against youth opposition for the Swiss at their training camp either. They also lost 2-1 to FC Solothurn's Under-15 team but beat FC Biel's Under-15s 2-1.

  • WHAT WAS SAID

    Swiss Football Association spokesperson Sven Micosse said: "It's not uncommon in women's football to compete against junior teams. The goal: 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."
