FC LUGANO - BSC YOUNG BOYS COUNTDOWN
After Basel's anticipated championship victory and the verdicts at the bottom of the standings on Thursday (Yverdon relegated and GC in the play-off against Aarau), only the names of the teams that will place second through sixth are now to be known. In contention for the vice-champions' chair are Servette (62 points and difference [...]
LAST 90 MINUTES WITH A VIEW OF EUROPE
Both proponents and critics of the new league formula admit one thing: that there is great suspense until the 90th minute of the last game. Only on Saturday night, in fact, the names of the teams that will accompany Basel to the various European competitions (better in the preliminaries) next season will be known. EVERYTHING OPEN SAVE THE TITLE Anything can [...]
CROSSES-TORTS: "THE TEAM PUT THEIR HEART INTO IT"
Since 2015 Lugano and Lausanne have faced each other 24 times but on only two occasions have they drawn and always in Cornaredo. The one that came out on Sunday is therefore the first tie result on Vaud soil in 14 matches to date. A more than deserved 1-1 for a team that was coming from two difficult matches and [...]
VALUABLE POINT WON IN LAUSANNE
Perhaps the most important point of the season the one Lugano won Sunday afternoon in Lausanne, in the second away game in three days in the land of Romandy. After recovering the Vaudois' early lead, Croci-Torti's boys calmly controlled and brought home the draw. In the standings, with one day left [...]
LUGANO ALSO WITHOUT LUCK IN GENEVA
Another lucky game for Lugano, which returned from Geneva without points, with four goals to its credit (an own goal and a penalty) and especially with four balls that were well kicked into the net but did not go in due to miraculous interventions by the opponent's goalkeeper or saves on the line. ONE AUTOGOL PER PART The balance reigned throughout [...]
LUGANO STARTS THE ROUND ON THE RIGHT FOOT
The round for the title could not have started better for Lugano, which imposed itself with merit at the Swissporarena and overtook the same Lucernese, as well as Lausanne, in the standings. The HCL team showed great character by unleashing good plots of play despite the fact that the ground was not in good condition due to the rain that fell [...]
LAUSANNE'S HUNGER GETS THE BETTER OF THEM
The greater motivation of Lausanne, which absolutely had to win the three points in order to hope to enter the title round, got the better of Lugano, which had already qualified. The Vaudois, who went ahead with two goals in the first half, also galvanized by the news coming out of Bern that Zurich had succumbed, defended [...]
A POINT WORTH THE TITLE ROUND
With one day to go, Lugano is among the teams mathematically certain to contest the penalty shootout for the title. Drawing with St. Gallen on Sunday, the HCLers climbed to 49 in the standings and can no longer be joined by teams currently below the line. FEW SUCCESSES IN THE FIRST HALF The first half [...]
IN YVERDON MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
"We need to take the lead and come back with the three points," coach Mattia Croci-Torti had declared on the eve of the match. And the team executed the task. With one goal per half, Lugano beat Yverdon and relaunched itself after the home defeat against Servette. An important and not a foregone conclusion: Yverdon in 2025 will not [...]
SERVETTE MOVES ON TO CORNAREDO
On the day against hate and discrimination called by the SFL, Servette confirmed a certain recent favorable tradition in direct clashes with Lugano. On a very windy evening Häberli's players won with one goal per half. In the first 45′ to tell the truth, the Ticinese should have been ahead [...]
