Although it heated up once more at the end of the game, FC Sion held their nerve in Aarau and managed a 2-1 win following extra time. The Valaisians have thus extended their current lead over second-placed Thun to six points.
The leader of the Challenge League thus temporarily increased the reserve on the pursuer Thun to six points. Thun welcomes Schaffhausen on Saturday.
Bulgarian substitute Georgi Rusev converted a cross from Ilyas Chouaref to make it 2-1 a quarter of an hour before the end. Unlike following Théo Bouchlarhem’s first goal following half an hour, when Shkelqim Demhasaj might immediately equalize, Aarau failed to react. Due to Isaac Pappoe’s sending off, the hosts played outnumbered throughout the second half.
Sion will meet Bellinzona (away) and Schaffhausen (home) in the 35th and 36th rounds. Thun’s opponents on 17 and 21 May are Vaduz (home) and Wil (away). Because Sion has a significantly better goal difference than Thun, another win will probably be enough for coach Didier Tholot’s team to get direct promotion.
