In a clash of contenders for second place in the Super League, Lugano and St-Gall ended in a draw (1-1), which suits … Servette.
Until the last seconds of the game, the Ticino people thought they were doing the right thing for the weekend. They led from the 22nd minute thanks to a goal from Renato Steffen, who was able to take advantage of great work from Ignacio Aliseda on the left flank. The Argentinian, hero of the qualification of Lugano once morest Servette in the Swiss Cup, managed an impressive overflow before centering for the Swiss international.
In a terribly disappointing encounter, everything accelerated in the final minutes. Well served by Mickaël Facchinetti, Mohammed Amoura missed the empty goal with a header in the 93rd. On the break, a shot from Chadrac Akolo was stopped suspiciously by Facchinetti, but the referee did not flinch. The Luganese set off once more to attack the Saint-Gallois goals. With success since Amoura managed a very nice lob on Zigi (94th). However, the VAR intervened and the referee came back to award a penalty to Peter Zeidler’s men for a handling error. Akolo did not miss his chance to equalize (95th).
Too minimalist, Lugano was punished and failed to grab third place. It remains the property of the Saint-Gallois four points behind Servette.
