Raiders Tirol remain winless after narrow defeat to Paris Musketeers

The Raiders Tirol remain without a victory in the 2026 European League of Football (ELF) season following a 24-17 loss to the Paris Musketeers on June 13, 2026. A late touchdown from Paris receiver Hugo Tekedam with 16 seconds remaining broke the deadlock at the Stade Bauer, extending the Raiders’ losing streak to four games.

How the game unfolded in Paris

The Paris Musketeers secured their victory through a late-game surge, overcoming a halftime deficit. According to the [official league box score](https://europeanleague.football/), the Raiders entered the second half with a 17-10 lead after a touchdown from quarterback Steven Krajewski. However, the Musketeers’ offense, led by quarterback Zach Edwards, orchestrated a comeback in the final quarter.

Paris running back Jason Bofunda leveled the score at 17-17 midway through the fourth quarter. The decisive drive occurred in the final two minutes, culminating in Tekedam’s second touchdown of the evening. A final attempt by the Raiders to equalize was thwarted when their last-gasp pass was intercepted by the Paris defense.

Key performance metrics

The matchup highlighted the contrast between the two teams’ offensive efficiency in the red zone. While the Raiders capitalized on a turnover—created when Tim Unger forced a fumble recovered by Jan Mayerhofer—they struggled to maintain that momentum in the second half.

* Raiders Tirol scoring: The team’s points came from a field goal by Jonata Loria and a touchdown run by Steven Krajewski, alongside a receiving score by Marco Schneider.
* Paris Musketeers scoring: Hugo Tekedam recorded two touchdowns, supported by a field goal from Dean Faithfull and a late touchdown run by Jason Bofunda.

The game saw a significant interruption in the third quarter following an injury to Paris receiver Austin Mitchell. Medical staff attended to the player on the field before he was transported for further evaluation, a development that halted play for several minutes.

Implications for the Raiders’ season

With an 0-4 record, the Raiders Tirol face a difficult path to postseason contention. Historically, teams that start the European League of Football season with four consecutive losses face a statistical uphill battle to reach the playoffs.

The team’s inability to close out the game against Paris mirrors challenges seen in previous weeks, where defensive lapses in the final two minutes have proven costly. Head coach Shuan Fatah’s squad must now address these late-game execution issues to secure their first win of the campaign. The Musketeers, conversely, continue to position themselves as contenders in their conference, relying on the dual-threat capability of Zach Edwards to navigate high-pressure situations.
