During this preparation, LS should not forget to (re)work the penalty shots. Or hire a good psychologist. Unable to register a single one after the 11th day of the last Challenge League season, the Vaudois had missed four consecutively in the final sprint. Facing Xamax, Aliou Baldé confirmed the difficulties of his team from the 11-meter point, failing once again to transform the supreme sentence, during stoppage time in the first period.
Ludovic Magnin’s troops had fortunately made a small difference ten minutes earlier. Kaly Sène, one of the recruits for this summer transfer window, had managed to push a ball that had already passed quite a bit in front of the Neuchâtel goal line. Insufficient, however, to win, especially since the end of the match – with the immense central defender Mickaël Nanizayamo as… left side – was far from the level of the Super League, which LS will find in two weeks, at home. the Young Boys, reigning champions.
Xamax came close to victory
As for Neuchâtel Xamax, saved in the play-offs from the somersault in the Promotion League a little over a month ago, it was a former LS target who stood out. Franck Surdez shook the crossbar of Thomas Castella in the 37th, before sending a shot just above in the 53rd. Uli Forte’s squad held out for more than half time, before equalizing, as the waltz of changes in the time of play had confused the cards. Angelo Campos, who will discover the 2nd division after having fired all wood at the lower levels, then easily deceived Castella from the entrance of 16 meters (65th). The Xamaxiens even hit wood again on a free kick in the 84th.
This game, played at La Tuilière under the banner of “subscriber day”, allowed the Lausanne club to distribute its precious seasonal sesame to the most eager of its fans. But it was also an opportunity to present the new LS jerseys for their return to the top flight. Fans have every interest in rushing over it, because they may be collectors. The French supplier of the Vaudois would be, according to a recent article published by The Teamin great difficulty in the design of certain outfits and also in payments to various federations in France.
