Felix Mambimbi gave the Swiss team an early lead and, despite Mason Greenwood's double turning the game in the Reds' favour, a penalty by Jan Kronig ensured the scores were level at half-time. The Reds did not go in front again until the 78th minute but two quickfire spot-kicks, by Aidan Barlow and Tahith Chong, set up a frenetic finale. United substitutes Dylan Levitt and D'Mani Mellor both added their names to the scoresheet as the hosts made it 14 goals in three home games at Leigh Sports Village in the competition.
The Reds were unusually slow to start striding and fell behind in only the seventh minute.
