2-2 vs. Servette: Zigi saves St. Gallen from next bankruptcy

The game: St. Gallen has never lost four games in a row to coach Peter Zeidler. And it will continue like this! After narrow defeats to Lugano, Zurich and FC Sion, Geneva’s Espen kidnap a point. Grün-Weiss starts like firefighters, deservedly ahead after the starting minutes. But when Servette shook once, despite freezing temperatures, St. Gallen’s rear team was on fire. First Kyei calls, then Kyei shoots a penalty (see also “That was something to talk about”) – and then Kyei is unlucky again. A shot from him hits the post and rolls down the line. Fazliji finally deletes it. Aim? The VAR says no. Zeidler’s boys are saving themselves for the break. There Zeidler redeems the defective Cabral. His companions attack again immediately after switching sides in the person of Guillemenot. But Servette doesn’t give up, she gets the compensation she deserves. Is that already? Not at all! In a hectic final phase, Zigi first hugs his foot again, then Görtler heads a FCSG corner into the frame. Only then will referee Schnyder be blown away. 2: 2.

7. Minute, 0: 1 | A stroke of genius from Víctor Ruiz! The Asturian in the services of the FCSG hangs wonderfully with a heel in the sixteen opponents Basil Stillhartyou have all the time in the world to get the ball into the bottom left.

20. Minute, 1: 1 | Stefanovic intercepts a clarification attempt by Cabral. The servettia appears short, flanks perfectly on the head of Grejohn kyeiwhich uses 1: 1.

48. Minute, 1: 2 | Jeremy guillemenot the game team glides beautifully on the right spike from 15 meters. Born in Geneva, he refrains from cheering while shooting his former love.

61. Minute, 2: 2 | Severin extends a corner in front of Betim Fazliji. From there, the ball finds its way into the St. Gallen net. Own goal: Glücks-Betim is unlucky for once.

That gave something to talk about:
Six days have passed when Grejohn Kyei was allowed to shoot a Servette penalty against FC Luzern when the score was 0-0. Kyei points to the lower left, Müller takes the thing out. Today Kyei can try again from 11 meters after a stupid goat hand from the point of view of St. Gallen. Again he points to the lower left, and again the goalkeeper scratches the ball. This time around the penalty shootout hero is Lawrence Ati Zigi.

The best:
Zigi. The St. Gallen goalkeeper cleared a penalty. Save a point in time off with a foot reflex.

Worst:
Euclides Cabral. The left-back of St. Gallen starts the 1-1 draw for Geneva. Later he pays the hands in the penalty area. You can dial after 45 minutes.

Table:
It’s February 10 and since tonight, both Servette and St. Gallen have played exactly half of the 36 games this season. Surprising: Both teams have won six times, drawn six, lost six times and are in fifth and sixth place.

Then continue:
St. Gallen will now spend the night in Geneva and tomorrow will travel to Valais, where they will face FC Sion on Saturday night at 8.30pm. Servette will also launch the Leman derby in Lausanne on Saturday (but at 6.15pm).
