On 30 July 1974 he scored the first goal in the Coppa delle Alpi Final, but Basel lost by 1–2 against Young Boys. He also scored a penalty in the Final of the same competion on 29 September 1981 as Basel won 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 at full time. In the Wankdorf Stadion in Bern on 11 June 1983 Stohler played his 300th league match.[2]
At the end of his professional career, in the summer of 1984, Stohler moved to FC Grenchen and he played there for two years. Then for the season 1988/89 Stohler moved to FC Münchenstein in the 3.
