match report

Due to hooliganism in the first leg against FC St. Gallen, it is known that the guest sector in Sion will remain closed today. Despite the repression, about 150 people from Lucerne came to the stadium. The fans are divided approximately in the same proportion into three stands. But Ultras are also missing in the Sion sector at the start of the game. In solidarity, they boycotted the match in the first ten minutes. “Anti-sanctions groups” can be read on a large banner behind the gate.

On the other hand, the game starts out rather flat. Referee Urs Sneijder receives a radio from the VAR in the 13th minute and runs to the screen. In an earlier scene, Dantas Fernandez hit the ball from behind in the penalty area from a very short distance. Dantas Fernandez is not to blame for this scene. The decision of the penalty whistle seems to be questioned. Then Anto Grgic made it 1-0 to Sion with a penalty kick.

After the hosts’ opening goal, FCL is the most active team, but finds it difficult to create chances. FC Sion is limited to counter attack. Fans at the Stade Tourbillon are not offered an engaging game for the first 40 minutes. But Severin Oetiger offers the magic piece. The young full-back from Esch played solo through almost the entire field before the break and left the Valais side standing in lines – losing only goalkeeper Alexandru Savarikas.

In the second half, FCL comes onto the field with eleven variables. Dantas Fernandez no longer steps on the grass. Soufiane Shader comes for the promising talent. The equalizer should have come in the 50th minute, but Lars Villiger kicked the ball in front of the goal, but only a minute later, the jubilation of salvation: Pascal Schorpf scored the equalizer.

It’s all about winning for Mario Fricke today. In the 63rd minute, he brought in Mo Draeger instead of Oteger. Dräger plays an attacking midfield role. Shortly afterwards, Sion’s Dennis-Wil Buha saw the red card after VAR intervention for a foul on Martin Friedke. FCL now plays with a numerical advantage on the field. To mobilize new energies, Osama Abu Bakr replaces Villiger.

Lucerne’s offensive efforts paid off. In the 75th minute, Pius Dorn hit a cross that fell into Chadr. The defenders of Sion are too far away from the French, who only have to push. Ten minutes before the end, Ismail Beka is forced to leave the field. Luca Jacques replaces him.

Just before the end of the match, the hosts pressed the Lucerne goal again. However, the guests from central Switzerland stand up against it and defend the Sixteen constantly. FCL guarantees three points against Sion and thus definitely finish fourth and play European.

This says FCL coach Mario Fricke

“We won those three points today.”

“It’s good to be able to play in Europe next season.”
