Brief report
FC Luzern totally missed the start of the home game against FC St. Gallen. After 10 minutes, the guests from eastern Switzerland lead with two goals. Kwadwo Duah scores with a dream goal and Chukwubuike Adamu heads in from a free kick.
The FCSG celebrates twice at the start of the game.
After this double blow, an open exchange of blows takes place. On the one hand, the guests have a chance because they repeatedly prevent the FCL from building the game and conquering the balls from the start. Those from Lucerne pass by the sides from time to time behind the FCSG defense, which is high due to pressure. The best chance for FCL is given by Louis Schaub.
Varol Tasar’s own contribution is needed for Lucerne’s goal. The FCL wing starts running in the 40th minute, leaves some opponents and really wants to play in the middle at the end of his solo. His shot is deflected and flies unsustainable over the FCSG goalkeeper towards the goal. The 1: 2 at halftime flatters the home team, the guests missed some good opportunities.
Varol Tasar was at the origin of the connecting goal for the FCL.
The pace at the Swissporarena remains high at the start of the second half. After just over 50 minutes, FCL goalkeeper Marius Müller must stop against a header from Musah Nuhu after a corner kick. After that, Lucerna has two good chances: Tasar and Silvan Sidler miss the goal from good late positions. The FCL then shows between minutes 65 and 70 that he is also capable of performing a double hit. Substitute Pascal Schürpf strikes behind Yvan Alounga, who is also a substitute, after winning the head duel. Silvan Sidler is in charge of leading the local team for the first time. The U21 international shoots first at the crossbar before hitting the net on the second attempt.
The FCL turns the game around in the second half.
Ten minutes before the end, Tasar even increased the penalty to 4-2 for Lucerna. Referee Horisberger aims for the point after FCSG defender Yannis Letard blocked a shot from Filip Ugrinic with his arm. That was the cover of this entertaining duel. The guests can no longer react and FC Luzern wins 4-2.
A huge success for FCL after a totally sleepy start, Fabio Celestini’s team showed a good performance in the second half and remained unbeaten in the fifth game in a row.
