1-0 home win for eastern Switzerland – St. Gallen fights Sion for 3 points – sport

Swiss Under-21 international Betim Fazliji had to be patient before he could celebrate his first goal for FC St. Gallen. Although his header had crossed the goal line at the domestic Kybunpark in the 38th minute. But the previous free kick was false offside. Only when the VAR intervened did referee Adrien Jaccottet make it 1-0.

On the other hand, there was no need for a checking look after an hour, when Sions Ayoub Abdellaoui received red directly. The defender was the last man to kick pass Basil Stillhart’s foot in place of the ball. The next free throw almost brought the preliminary decision. Víctor Ruiz’s direct attempt hit the right post.

As a result, the eastern Swiss were not rewarded with more goals for their dominance. Instead, Sion almost won a point thanks to a double chance in injury time, contrary to what happened in the game.

First Europe, then Liechtenstein

In the Super League, the FCSG will have the next opportunity to present themselves more efficiently at FC Vaduz next Sunday. Before that, however, Peter Zeidler’s team will meet in the third qualifying round for the Europa League (Thursday 8:30 pm live on SRF Zwei) at home at AEK Athens.

Hoarau is not on the match sheet yet

Fabio Grosso, the 2006 Italian world champion, could not count on Valais’ most outstanding rookie when he made his debut as FC Sion coach. Guillaume Hoarau can only play at home against YB on matchday two.
