Sion can still score against YB – Hoarau missed the winning goal by a hair

After an interruption of almost four years to the day, FC Sion once again did not lose in the championship against YB. The 0-0 on the tourbillon is more or less fair.

After 15 failed attempts in a row, Sion was able to score again in the championship against YB. The last time the Sion team scored a point against YB in late September 2016, at that time also 0-0 on the tourbillon.

During the periods of pressure around half-time and in the finals, the Bernese showed why they are champions and not FC Sion. However, seen throughout the 90 minutes, coach Fabio Grosso’s team won the point with a selfless performance.

In the first half, both teams were close to the first goal. Geoffroy Serey Die forced YB goalkeeper David von Ballmoos to make an excellent save with one of his well-known powerful long-range shots. After a good half hour, only inches were left to lead the Bernese. After a very well played counterattack with Miralem Sulejmani, Christian Fassnacht hit the crossbar with praise on Kevin Fickentscher. The edge of the goal, the post, hit for YB in the 92nd minute, the great Valaisian Vincent Sierro, but from a very acute angle.

Diplomatic Hoarau

For 65 minutes, Guillaume Hoarau avoided having to play against “his” Young Boys with two hearts on his chest. After being replaced, the Frenchman did it in such a way that in the end he did not have to worry about a conscience. He was generous in defending the new team without doing any harm to the old one.

In championship games during the short summer break, it was the first points loss for coach Gerardo Seoane’s team after seven wins. The Bernese also failed to score a goal for the first time in twelve championship games.
