Busy Rhone derby – Sion trembles at Servette for a draw – sport

• Servette and Sion split 1: 1 on matchday 12 of the Superliga in Geneva.
• Valais convinces in the first half. After being sent off, the home team draws.
• A serious foul by Sandro Tehler provokes arguments.

• In the game the night before, Lausanne won 2-0 in Vaduz.

After an hour what should have happened in the 45th minute happened: a player from Sion was sent off the pitch. Birama Ndoye had applied the emergency brake against the hasty Grejohn Kyei.

It was surprising that there were eleven at halftime. In the last minute of the first half, Sandro Theler raced towards Servette’s newcomer Gaël Clichy, regardless of losses. The 20-year-old only saw yellow for his brutal entrance. The VAR did not intervene.

Until then, the Valais had been superior to the Guinevere. Anto Grgic gave the brave guests a wonderful free kick (15th). Even after that, Sion, who had recently lost 4 suite games, kept sniffing at 2-0. Roberts Uldrikis missed with a brilliant save by Jérémy Frick (42nd) or on the post (57th).

Servette in excess and with usury

But with one less man, the Valais lost their strength and Servette smelled a wick. The spell was broken in the 71st minute when Boubacar Fofana easily converted an assist from Alex Schalk from close range.

For Fabio Grosso’s team, the rest of the game was on the verge of shaking. The home team launched attack after attack. Despite a great multiple chance in the 93rd minute, Alain Geiger’s team had to settle for a point.

So it goes

Servette will be a guest at the FCZ on Sunday (4pm). Sion also hosts FC Vaduz.
