Neuchâtel Xamax’s good start to the season already seems a long way off. Uli Forte’s men were beaten at La Maladière in the derby by Sion 3-0 in the Football Challenge League and suffered a third consecutive defeat in the league.
Scary from the first seconds
The first minute had not yet passed and Xamax was already experiencing its first scare with a huge opportunity that Sion did not exploit. After this heat stroke, Uli Forte’s men got into their match well… until the 12th minute and a catastrophic defensive alignment which allowed Berdayes to quietly make his way to the edge of 16 meters and to arm an unstoppable strike for the opener. A score of 1-0 for Sion which will remain until half-time
A cold shower following returning from the locker room
Only 2 minutes following returning to the pitch, a new defensive error allowed Kabacalman to double the lead. The more time progressed, the more powerless the people of Neuchâtel seemed.
An expulsion that sounds the death knell
Finally, when in the 77th minute Hautier, the best man on the field in the Xamaxian ranks this evening, received his second yellow card for an anti-playing fault, the mass was said. Sorgic’s third goal in the 86th minute was an anecdote.
In the end, the step was too high for Xamax this evening and the coach of the Xamaxiens, Uli Forte recognized it “Sion was good tonight, we have to accept that” and he also noted “the efficiency has been lacking a little for a few years now. matches now.” An efficiency that will quickly have to be regained because Uli Forte’s men will play their next match at leader Thun./fph-dau
