New discussion on penalty and replay in St. Gallen against YB

Fair 2-2, St. Gallen and YB part ways after an intense game, but not of great quality. As in Lucerne and Basel, as well as against Vaduz, the weary champion lost two points.

The St. Gallen team led twice, after Elie Youan’s remarkable 1-0 following a dream pass from Victor Ruiz and a penalty foul used by the outstanding Spaniard. But the Bernese came back twice. With a severely penalized free-kick penalty, goalkeeper Jean-Pierre Nsame tied his 13th goal of the season in replay so far at 1: 1, and Meschack Elia closed out a pattern combination with Jordan Siebatcheu at 2: 2 Most recently, Ati-Zigi saved with Big Saves in injury time against Spielmann and Siebatcheu.

There was one particular scene to talk about in St. Gallen. He recalled the exciting 3: 3 between the two opponents a year ago. Ati-Zigi again took a penalty, which had to be repeated because the Ghanaian had left the finish line too early. Opinions were divided on whether it was actually after minimal physical contact by defense chief Leonidas Stergiou against Felix Mambimbi that he fell slightly. The VAR decided a penalty, which angered St. Gallen coach Zeidler. “The referee just had to watch the scene,” said the German.

YB lost some momentum in the championship after his mammoth program. Three days after 0: 3 at Ajax Amsterdam, the Bernese were tired, with numerous bad passes and inaccuracies. St. Gallen, with Basil Stillhart at right back and Stergiou at the center of defense, acted with joy and defiance and held steady on defense before his strength dwindled towards the end of the game.
