Lucerne wins after falling behind and makes Zion’s situation even less comfortable

In their fifth home game of the season, FC Sion suffered their first defeat. In the 1: 2 match against FC Luzern, the uninspired Valaisians gave up the lead.

After the two teams started the game with a 30-minute delay due to the snow-covered terrain, the guest from Central Switzerland also missed the start of the second session. Sion defender Jan Bamert took advantage of the guests’ unexpected time out in the 53rd minute with a header from a corner to make it 1-0.

Thanks to two goals in the last twenty minutes, Lucerna’s abandonment went unpunished. Top scorer Dejan Sorgic (72nd) with his fifth goal of the season and a dream goal from substitute Varol Tasar (84th) led the guests to three points that were ultimately deserved.

The central Swiss dominated from the start, but only found efficiency in the final phase. Negligence in the Lucerne attack was first indicated after three minutes when Yvan Alounga missed with a low shot on Timothy Fayulu of Sion. The best chance for FCL in the first 45 minutes was missed by striker Sorgic after half an hour, the 31-year-old’s leg from the penalty spot bounced off the field.

Fayulu, whom Sion coach Fabio Grosso surprisingly preferred to regular goalkeeper Kevin Fickentscher, made guests desperate time and time again with parades. But the 21-year-old Congolese had no chance against Sorgic’s target and Tasar’s long-range shot.
