But let’s talk about the highlights of the game. Thanks to Gladbach center back Nico Elvedi's first Super League goal today, FCZ took the lead from the 14th minute. Aarau was already outnumbered before Stefan Andrist tripped Yassin Chikawi in his own area – and Zurich were awarded a penalty.

Armine Chermiti accepts it gratefully and uses it with confidence. However, Austrian referee Rene Eisner ordered a new penalty kick. Some FCZ players entered the penalty area too early.

The Tunisians are at it again. This time his try was cleared by Joël Mall. Marr also blocked a follow-up shot in his 100th match for “Rüebliländer”. But Cermiti got the ball for the third time and headed past Marr. But the celebrations were stuck in the throat – as Igor Nganga saved the ball beautifully with an overhead kick.

However, a few days later, FC Aarau announced their celebration: the video broke all records! Footage from the match resonated around the world: more than 5 million people watched the video on the club's Facebook page. This is equivalent to five times the annual number of visitors to the FCA website.

The video also went viral on YouTube and Reddit: it received thousands of likes and countless comments on Reddit. By the time the video was removed from YouTube, it had been viewed nearly 300,000 times.

This will remain one of the few highlights of FCA's season. The former “ineliminates” must travel to the Challenge League in the summer of 2015, while the Swiss champions from 1993 to the present are still stuck there.
