FC Chiasso – FC Zurich 3: 2

For the people of Zurich, who won the cup trophy in 2016 and 2018, it is an unrivaled shame, especially since their rival, FC Chiasso, finished last season in the Challenge League as the last and only for regulatory purposes. of the coronavirus pandemic. He didn’t have to relegate the Promotion League. The last time the FCZ was removed from a lower class nine years ago. However, this was FC St. Gallen, who immediately came back to the upper house.

Thun – Lucerne 0: 1
In the big game of the sixteenth final, Thun lost at home to Lucerne 0-1. After 58 minutes, Marvin Schulz clashed after Lucerne controlled Thun’s defense with a multi-station attack.
Thun had largely dominated for a long time and worked more dangerous scenes in the penalty area, Lucerne lost by far the biggest opportunity of the first half. Marvin Schulz Ibrahima Ndiaye released Ibrahima Ndiaye in the only quick counterattack the Bernese made possible for Lucerne. The Senegalese missed the empty goal point-blank at the left post, although Schulz’s cross pass had not been kicked hard. It was the setting for any anthology of woefully missed opportunities.
Thun played without Leonardo Bertone, a key player of the spring. The Bernese, a two-time YB master player, gets approval despite an ongoing contract. Look for a new employer, a club in the Super League or abroad.
