After losing points, the Grasshoppers maintained their leadership position in the Challenge League. After falling behind twice, the Hoppers won the overtime game at Winterthur 3-2.

The late decision on Schützenwiese took place in two acts. After 74 minutes, Winterthur central defender Florian Baak fouled GC substitute striker Shkelqim Demhasaj, who could have scored the goal on his own. The red card against Baak was inevitable. Demhasaj, who could have scored without the foul, caught up with everything in the 84th minute. He took advantage of a serious defensive error by defender Lindrit Kamberi, played with goalkeeper Raphael Spiegel and pushed to make it 3-2.

The main game between Thun and the Grasshoppers is scheduled for Friday. The Thuners won the first game at Stockhorn Arena. With another victory they would surpass GC even after losing points.
