- At the start of the 14th round of the Super League, St. Gallen is defeated at home by YB 1: 2.
- Both YB goals were scored by Jordan Siebatcheu, who had the lead in the head duels in the 68th and 72nd minutes.
- Last year’s runner-up at St. Gallen is already eight points behind Leader Bern.
For over an hour, St. Gallen and YB had largely neutralized each other in terms of scoring chances in the highs’ duel that opened matchday 14 of the Super League. In the duel between the two defensively strongest teams in the league, one inevitably remembered the 0-0 victory in the duel of the first season. But then YB changed gears and suddenly stepped forward two bodies:
- 68. Minute: On the right side of Bern, who is sometimes knocked down by former FCSG captain Silvan Hefti, Christian Fassnacht reaches the flank. His precise pass found the head of Jordan Siebatcheu, who prevailed in the head duel against Yannis Letard and headed 1-0.
- 72. Minute: If you don’t look closely, you might think you are seeing a replay of the initial goal. Although the center came this time from Meschack Elia, the result is the same: Letard lets Siebatcheu rise undisturbed in the form of a Christmas advance, who heads the ball into the net.
Siebatcheu had already cheered in the 62nd minute, but his supposed goal was disallowed for offside. However, 3 days after his two goals in the 2-2 draw against Lugano, he returned to the double. Tim Staubli restored hope to «Espen» in the 83rd minute. Cleared up, he supplied the leather for his first Superliga goal at YB’s door. Despite the subsequent final offense of the home team, it remained at 1: 2. André Ribeiro missed the best opportunity in the 93rd minute.
More or less noticeable absences
While Siebatcheu was able to forget injured goal guarantor Jean-Pierre Nsame with his double, the eastern Swiss failed to hide an absence from his ranks: Letard misrepresented 18-year-old head of defense Leonidas Stergiou, who was absent due to isolation crown. as on the right.
Short emotion before break
After a first half characterized by a lot of intensity and at the same time many bad passes, a goal almost fell shortly before the half-time whistle. YB forward Elia missed FCSG goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi. Instead, Boubacar Traoré and Boris Babic missed a double chance. Also, there were suspicions of handball. But as the video evidence clearly demonstrated: Hefti was in no way assuming an unnatural move or even an intention with her hands.
So it goes
Both teams will now have a well-deserved winter break until January 20. Then YB has to travel to Lugano while St. Gallen receives Vaduz. The next direct duel is also predictable: the Young Boys will be invited again at the kybunpark on February 9 for the round of 16 of the Cup.
