Neuchâtel Xamax was hooked on Friday in the Football Challenge League. New coach Uli Forte’s men drew 1-1 once morest Thun at the Stade de la Maladière.
A remarkable first half
Under the impetus of the new Xamaxian coach, the Neuchâtel residents showed a new face to the 3,124 spectators present. A dominating Xamax, focused on the offensive and in control, mastered this first period and deserved to open the scoring before the break. Spielmann at the start of the game then Del Toro found a Matic to his business in the Bernese cage to prevent the opening of the Xamaxian score.
A more difficult tea return
Returning from the locker room, Xamax immediately tried to be dangerous once more before suffering the return of FC Thun who had decided to wake up. However, it is the Xamaxiens who will manage to open the scoring thanks to Spielmann in the 74e minute, well served by a Hammerich in a great evening who had found his place in the middle of the field. The number 21 of the “red and black” said he was happy to have found this place even if he specified: “if the coach wants me to play right back or central defender I don’t care because I try to give everything, always !”
Thun comes back to score
But as too often this season, it is a new individual error, that of Gonçalves, which will allow Thun to equalize in the 86th thanks to Oberlin who had just come into play. At the end of the game, Uli’s men Forte almost lost everything but also came close to winning. In the end, a draw full of hope in view of the game proposed by the Neuchâtelois. A point that brings the “red and black” closer to the dam but a performance from which the Xamaxiens must draw inspiration for the end of the season. /Dau
