- Lucerne conceded 3 goals in the 8 minutes before the break.
- After the break, Schulz and Sorgic can cut short, but Bern’s guests save the 3-2 in time.
- In the second game on Sunday, FCZ beat Lausanne 4-0.
When Ulisses García served from 20m in the 27th minute and Lucas de Lucerna deflected the shot to make it 3-0, only the most optimistic FCL fans believed in an exciting second half. Especially since Lucerne goalkeeper Marius Müller had to miraculously avoid 0: 4 against Meschak Elia (40th) and Nicolas Ngamaleu (45th) before the break.
But it actually got exciting in the second 45 minutes. First, Michel Aebischer was responsible for a foul penalty, which Marvin Schulz posted to make it 1: 3 (53rd). And when Dejan Sorgic pushed the leather over the line after a corner kick (64th), the Young Boys suddenly saw their victory, which they believed safe, in danger.
In the end, Lucerne ran to no avail for the remaining 30 minutes and YB saved the 3: 2 eventually. Also because Filip Ugrinic missed a good chance to equalize in the 93rd minute. With this, the Bernese extended their lead over their pursuers Lugano (the match in Sion was postponed) to 5 points. Lucerna remains in the lower half of the table.
Error by error before 0: 1
The fact that Lucerna fell 3-0 at all was due to fateful minutes in the middle of the first half. Jean-Pierre Nsame on penalty (19th), Christian Fassnacht with a magnificent direct acceptance (24th) and García with his deflected shot scored 3 times in 8 minutes.
Especially the 0: 1 after a convincing start phase was very upsetting for the FCL:
- After his own free kick in the middle by YB, Ugrinic was able to avoid Berna’s quick counterattack on the wing in the 18th minute, but struck off.
- After that, the danger in the penalty area seems to have already been avoided, but Varol Tasar pushes Fassnacht completely unnecessarily from behind on the legs.
- Nsame sinks due grief without humor.
With the exception of the 30 minutes before the break, Lucerne was at the height of the guests from Bern. But the leader punished the mistakes of the FCL without mercy. Disadvantage for YB: Vincent Sierro (8th) and Fassnacht (46th) had to be replaced prematurely due to injuries.
In a week, Lucerne will visit Sion, while YB Servette will host her. Before that, on Thursday night, the Young Boys will fight at home against Cluj to remain in the Europa League (live on SRF Zwei from 18:55).
