FC St. Gallen plays against FC Zurich 1:1. But a draw seems like a victory. Because aspens fix the point in a special way. Fabian Schubert sent the ball deep into the Zurich goal in stoppage time. The assistant is none other than Espen goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Sigi, who was also in the box for the corner kick.
Contested first half
The glee in the FCSG knows no bounds. But for a long time it seemed that the Green-Whites could not win a point. The Zurich team had a better start to the game. Only after 20 minutes the guests were able to recover. However, none of them pose a particular danger in front of the gate in the first half.
After the break, the picture is similar. FCZ started the second half well. Okita scored almost ten minutes after the match restarted, scoring a dream goal for FCZ management. A resident of Zurich sees that Sigi is far from the gate – and stops at him from a distance of more than 20 meters. However, St. Gallen does not let the leadership win. Then the hot final phase begins.
FCZ Leadership Doesn’t Count – St. Gallen Compensation Matters
In the 87th minute, Espen’s hopes for points faded briefly. Marquesano beats the supposed 2:0. But after checking the VAR, the goal was not counted due to offside. This gave the FCSG another boost – and in the end they rewarded themselves.
Fabian Schubert threw the ball over the line. For him, this is the first goal after a long break due to injury. After the game, he says, “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time.” He is glad to meet again. This is proof of hard work.
Gortler injured
However, St. Gallen also had trouble: in the second half, FCSG captain Lukas Gertler was forced to leave the field due to injury. In a duel, he sprained his ankle. It is not yet known if the injury is more serious.
