CROSSES-TORTS: "PROOF OF CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY"
The crowd at the end of the game showed appreciation for the team's behavior and the fourth place that means Europe for the fourth consecutive season.

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 [...]
CROCI-TORTI: "IN GENEVA TO REVERSE THE TREND"

SERVETTE FC - FC LUGANO COUNTDOWN
With the mathematical award of the Swiss championship title to Basel, the main conundrum of the 2024/25 edition of the Championship Group has been cleared. It now remains to fill the second through sixth places that will allow three or four teams (depending on the outcome of the Swiss Cup final) to take part in the preliminaries of the European cups. [...]
