Number zero in eastern Switzerland – Equitable distribution of points between St. Gallen and Lugano – Sport

• St. Gallen and Lugano split 0-0 in the Super League after an intense match.
• Both teams hit the edge of the goal once.
• Lucerne and Zurich also play 0-0, the leader YB beat Basel 2-0.

St. Gallen and Lugano have lived up to their reputations as strong defensive teams. With 9 (St. Gallen) and 8 goals conceded (Lugano) respectively, the two have conceded the fewest goals in the Super League after Leader YB.

The goalkeepers were particularly convincing in the 0-0 draw in eastern Switzerland. St. Gallen’s Lawrence Ati Zigi saved in the 78th minute against Joaquín Ardaiz, who was able to shoot from close range. Lugano’s Noam Baumann had a special challenge in the opening minutes. Lukas Görtler (2nd) and Élie Youan (6th) missed early before the Ticino goalkeeper.

Lungoyi and Görtler hit the bar

The two teams not only displayed defensive qualities, but also revealed their difficulties in the final. Lugano’s Christopher Lungoyi put Numa Lavanchy off the crossbar from 5 meters in the 27th minute; the goal would have been open.

St. Gallen’s Görtler also missed in the 73rd minute on the edge of goal. His shot grazed the crossbar. Offensive deficiencies can also be statistically corroborated based on the season so far – both teams have only scored one goal or less on average.

So it goes

An intense pre-Christmas program awaits in St. Gallen: Basel (Saturday) and YB (Tuesday) are the two best teams waiting. Lugano will also face YB (Saturday) and Lausanne.
