Stade Lausanne Ouchy should, barring a miracle, play in the Challenge League next season. Newly promoted, the Stadistes lost the match that should not have been lost against Grasshopper. In Zurich, they lost 3-2 and now find themselves 10 points behind the play-off place occupied by their opponent of the day, 4 days before the end of the championship.
The SLO can blame itself. He led twice against Grasshopper. First thanks to Pos in the 21st then via Mahmoud in the 62nd. Unfortunately for the people of Lausanne, the people of Zurich each time found the resources to come back to the level. Firstly on a goal from Abubakar just before half-time and then on a penalty converted in the 62nd minute by Morandi.
In a balanced match, it was the expulsion of Mahmoud in the 87th minute for a second yellow card which precipitated the fall of the Vaudois. Accentuating the pressure, GC finally passed the shoulder in the 90th on a success from Morandi.
Thanks to this victory, Grasshopper is almost guaranteed to finish in the play-off place. The most successful club in Switzerland, however, remains a good distance from Yverdon, which has 7 points more.
