FC Luzern lose to FC Zurich after conceding two penalty goals – captain Alves sees red card
Benjamin Kololli puts FCZ in a good starting position against Lucerna with two penalty kicks in the first half. Celestini’s troops cannot react and remain without winning.
Brief report
In the initial phase, characterized by tactics and ball annexes, FC Luzern has the best offensive actions. Martin Frydek is in charge of left operations with Ibrahima Ndiaye. After 20 minutes things went crazy for the first time: first a FCZ offside was denied, but shortly afterwards the home team took the lead anyway. Varol Tasar launched FCZ forward Blaz Kramer with a devastatingly bad pass. FCL defender Lucas Alves fouls in the area and sees the referee’s red card Lukas Fähndrich – Kololli marks Zurich’s lead from eleven meters.

Outnumbered, the FCL is no longer dangerously close to the FCZ goal in the first half. Shortly before the break, the scene of terror for Lucerne is repeated. Kololli’s goal is denied for offside, but shortly thereafter he hits a second time with a penalty. Fähndrich punishes a controversial handball by Marvin Schulz in collaboration with the VAR. These 45 minutes left a visible mark on Fabio Celestini’s team. This can be seen in the body language of the FCL players as they enter the locker room.
The second half only picks up speed after a red card against the FCZ player Tosin. Then the FCL shot the post through Ndenge. The mortgage of two goals behind the first half weighs a lot and Lucerna can only earn a good offensive action in the final phase. FC Zurich achieved their third victory in their third match with new coach Massimo Rizzo without much effort. FCL coach Celestini, for his part, is still waiting with his team for the first victory and has two points after six games.
