It will be necessary to observe carefully what FC Sion of Paolo Tramezzani will look like following the international break. Because the one led by Alessandro Recenti, his assistant for three matches, left a rather worrying impression. In addition to a balance sheet of zero points. It’s hard to make the replacement for “Mister” the ideal culprit, but the loosening effect, wherever it is, when the boss is not there is a reality. In order to avoid any misunderstanding in the final sprint, the Valaisans will have to get back on the right track a little at the start of April.
The Rhône derby therefore returned to Servette on Sunday. A Servette with a particularly young bench, and especially Valton Behrami, 18, on the left of his defense. An explosive duel was promised to the neophyte for his first appearance in the Super League, once morest the Brazilian Wesley. The U18 full-back always got away with it… except for one unfortunate anticipation. Who cost a goal to his colors. This goal was the Sedun equalizer signed Filip Stojilkovic (33rd), in the middle of a first period all won over to the cause of the Garnet, articulated around a very good Timothé Cognat.
The excellence of number 8 in the face of the Valais defensive passivity might only lead to one outcome: the opening of the scoring with a strike with the most beautiful effect from the Frenchman (25th). We used the same ingredients just before the return to the cloakrooms. The half was wandering around the visitor area, found Kastriot Imeri who was spinning between two opponents before mischievously deceiving Kevin Fickentscher (44th, 2-1). The logic was respected. This Servette, without being untouchable, deserves to move forward.
