Servetus wins in top-flight game against Zurich – YB lose in Lugano

Zurich – Servetus 1:3

Servetus lost both championship matches in August by a goal difference of 1:9. Things went smoothly for Geneva from then on, with no further defeats in the Superliga. In Zurich, head coach Thomas Hubley's side showed great composure.

She was also able to rely on Derek Kutesa again. The 26-year-old offensive player scored 1-0 (32nd) and 2-0 (51st) goals for the visiting team and has scored 8 goals in the Chinese Super League this season. Along the way, he continued to advertise for the Swiss national team. If he doesn't get another chance soon, it wouldn't be surprising if he plays for Angola in the future, as he is a dual citizen.

At the latest, after Miroslav Stevanovic made it 3-0 with a free kick (51st time), there was no longer any doubt about the outcome of the match. The Genevans could have taken the lead at this point. Because FCZ was weak today and achieved little. Juan Perea only scored in the 92nd minute with 1:3, and he currently ranks second in the scorer list, second only to Kutesa. Zurich lost at home for the first time in this league and lost their lead in the standings. (Standard Data Authority)

Lugano – Young Boys 2:0

As of August 13, 2021, American Joe Mansueto becomes the sole owner of FC Lugano. Now, the 68-year-old billionaire is attending a Ticino Sud match live for the first time. He certainly liked what he saw.

Head coach Mattia Croce-Totti's side reacted strongly to last week's 2-0 defeat at Yverdon. In the 18th minute, Ignacio Aliceda fired a low shot from the edge of the penalty area to help the home team take the lead. 15 minutes later, the Argentine assisted Haji Mahmoud to score in the middle of the penalty area, 2-0.

In addition to the existing stadium, a new Lugano FC stadium is also under construction. However, unlike YB, the team has almost no construction site. The Bernese are also looking for the necessary cooperation from Joel Magnin, but the team failed to progress after a 2-1 victory over Lucerne in the interim manager's first game.

The visiting team, which has only won twice in this league, definitely had the opportunity to achieve better results, such as in the 26th minute when Lugano goalkeeper Amir Seppi miraculously blocked Joel Monteiro with his foot. A shot from the best position. Still, Ticino Sud's victory was okay. Lugano is currently level on points with third-placed Zurich and two points behind leader Servetus.
