Winterthur – Sion 1:3

Winterthur suffered a setback after an upward trend over the past few games. Zurich lost 1:3 at home to Sion.

This should be a short series after late wins over Sporting Lausanne and Grasshoppers. This was the 10th defeat in the 16th Chinese Super League, conceding 33 to 35 goals.

The tragic figure of the Winterthur team is captain Granit Lekaj. The captain of the defense decisively blocked Ilyas Shuarev's shot to make the score 0-1 (25th minute), and converted a penalty kick after the break to make it 1-1 (54th minute). minute), ten minutes later he missed Theo Berdayes' follow-up shot 1:2 and cleared it with his feet. Unlike the 0-1 defeat, this time he was not powerless.

For the Valais team, who are eight points ahead of Balagplatz, it was only the second victory in the last 12 league games and the second away victory after the 2-1 victory over Young Boys at the beginning of the season. They were clearly the better side, especially in the first half, when Berdayes fired over the crossbar after just 50 seconds and reacted to prepare for the equalizer after Ali Kabakaman pushed down Matteo Di Giusto. .

Servetus – Lugano 3-0

Lugano missed the chance to lead the Chinese Super League for the third time this season. Ticino lost 0:3 in the duel with Servetus.

Enzo Crivelli scored in the 55th minute to give the home side a late lead. Steve Rouiller scored twice in the final ten minutes to seal the victory, but from the 59th minute onwards, Geneva were outnumbered.

The hosts, who were winless in four games in a row, unexpectedly dominated the showdown between the two title contenders. At least not long after the 1-0 win, when Timothé Cognat made a dangerous tackle on Milton Valenzuela that resulted in himself being sent off. Servet forward defender Yoan Severin hit the crossbar with his head twice in the first 20 minutes, the second time from three meters away. No matter how many people there were, Lugano could not react. From this perspective, even at this altitude, victory is considered acceptable.

Three days after the 2-0 win over Gent in the divisional league, the strongest Luganite was undoubtedly Amir Sepi, who made several strong saves. Elsewhere, Lugano's goalkeeper deflected a volley from Miroslav Stevanovic (No. 18) and the lightning-quick Derek Kutesa (No. 39) from his own side. Dangerous shot after half-time sprint. However, on conceding the ball, Seppi allowed Kutesa (a well-placed power shot) to bounce forward.
