Xamax defeats GC leader – pursuer Thun wins

GC – Xamax 1: 4
The leader sinks in the home game in Letzigrund! Above all, Xamax striker Louis Mafouta ensures that the race for direct promotion will once again be more exciting. The man from the Central African Republic scores a hat trick. Mafouta is all the rage – a week ago in the Africa Cup qualifying rounds he scored two goals for his country in a 2-2 draw against Burundi, and now he’s building this momentum in the Challenge League. Relegated Xamax seems to be slowly getting back on track. The Neuchâtel remain at the bottom of the table Kriens and Chiasso and are increasingly oriented towards the center of the field. And GC? The Hoppers live an Easter festival to forget. A 1: 4 bankruptcy against third from the bottom! The first pursuer Thun is now four points behind the Zurich team.
The objectives: 13. Mafouta 0: 1. 45. Mafouta (Pen.) 0: 2. 54. Mafouta 0: 3. 83. Mbock 0: 4. 89. Ribeiro 1: 4.

Thun – Wil 3: 1
For a long time, it seems that Thun will not be able to take full advantage of the GC error. But an 18-year-old kept his nerve in the 81st minute. Daniel Dos Santos dusts himself to lead the Bernese again after Thun gave up 1-0. The midfielder recently signed with Thun until 2023 (with an option until 2025), now he is scoring his first professional goal, how important. After the youngster’s goal, the relegated team extended their lead in added time. And he dreams of a direct promotion to second place, four points behind GC.
The objectives: 49. Chihadeh 1: 0. 53. Fazliu (Pen.) 1: 1. 81. Dos Santos 2: 1. 91. Kyeremateng 3: 1.
