13th-14th September Super League Overview

I won’t have the time to post deep analysis of every weekend’s game so I will just publish the results and a small commentary.

9th Matchday
Saturday 13th September

Neuchatel Xamax – FC Sion 3-3 (2-1)
Stade de la Maladière, 5732 spectators. Referee: Busacca
3rd Brown 1-0, 16th M’Futi 1-1, 21st Chihab 2-1, 57th Saborio 2-2, 67th Chihab 3-2 (P), 75th Monterrubio 3-3.

A spectacular “Derby Romand” (Derby between the two french-speaking teams) with a 3-3 score. Ambitious FC Sion will regret not having taken full points from this game with the potential quality they have, Neuchatel will regret not being able to hold an advantage.

FC Basel – FC Luzern 2-0 (1-0)
St. Jakob Park, 20627 spectators. Referee: Zimmermann
16th Huggel 1-0, 84th Chipperfield 2-0

A smooth win for Basel against the last team in the standings. Basel controlled the game without wasting too much energy before the Champions’ League clash with Shakhtar.

Grasshopper – FC Aarau 0-0
Letzingrund, 4500 spectators. Referee: Studer

A poor draw for Grasshopper who were expected to put more effort in this game. Aarau proves to be a tough team to beat.

Sunday 14th September

AC Bellinzona – Young Boys 1-2 (0-1)
Stadio Comunale, 3870 spectators. Referee: Rogalla.
33rd Raimondi 0-1, 76th Valmerino 1-1, 86th Doumbia Seydou 1-2

A significant win for Young Boys who are trying to make some points after a disastrous beginning. Bellinzona appear to have to battle to avoid relegation with Vaduz and Luzern.

FC Vaduz – FC Zurich 1-7 (0-0)
Rheinpark, 2780 spectators. Referee: Bertolini.
47th Hassli 0-1, 58th Djuric 0-2, 59th Hassli 0-3, 68th Rivaldo 1-3, 75th Alphonse 1-4, 78th Stahel 1-5, 81st Abdi 1-6, 90th Abdi 1-7.

An incredible game in Liechtenstein but how can a team concede 7 goals in 45 minutes? Zurich look confident ahead of their UEFA Cup clash with AC Milan.
