Super League: GC Yverdon im Liveticker

Published today at 17:48

68. Minute

Baradji desperately looks for a passing option and turns in a circle. So he shoots. But out of the stadium.

66. Minute

Oh, and Justin Hammel appears on the screen. The GC goalie catches a ball. And off we go!

64. Minute

The national broadcast is interrupted, that’s what it says on the screen. We hope that we don’t miss the spectacular part of this game because of it. In the first half, an interruption, at least after the 1-0, wouldn’t have been a great tragedy. But now? We don’t know. One thing is clear: it’s still 1-1.

60. Minute

But a reliable statistics portal tells us: It’s still 1:1. And all players are still there.

Oh, funky music and a blue picture. Something is wrong with the pay-TV channel Blue. So we don’t know what’s going on. That’s, let’s just say, a bit inconvenient.

56. Minute

The GC offense has been struggling for some time. And a look at the passing rate of the attacking quartet shows this. Mabil, Maurin, Morandi, Lee, no one has more than three quarters of their passes completed. Morandi has the lowest value with his 68 percent.

51. Minute

It’s not a goal that was predictable, not at all. But it’s also not as if the Grasshoppers were pushing for a second goal. The Zurich team has limited themselves to managing their lead since the 1-0 lead. In that sense, Yverdon deserves to equalize here.

48. Minute

Same problem with Estevez. He has a clear shot but passes it across. He obviously forgets that he also has a left foot. Lucky for GC.

46. Minute

Morandi could have used a bit of selfishness. He moves into the penalty area and could shoot from a tight angle, but he puts the ball back. But there is no one there. Or rather, there is only one Yverdon player. The resulting corner kick brings nothing.

An attentive reader has just pointed out to me that the scoreboard is not working properly. The game is not about to start, in fact it has already been going on for 45 minutes. And GC is leading 1-0 thanks to a goal from Giotto Morandi in the third minute.

45. Minute

Are you wondering if it’s already a break? No, not yet. We’re just focusing on other things because not much is happening on the pitch.

45. Minute

It is not yet clear what can be expected from Lee this season. Despite the goal against Sion. But the Korean has already shown that he is someone who can hold onto long balls well thanks to his stature. He is a type of Olivier Giroud, only a little younger and more agile. Speaking of Giroud. He has recently started playing for LA FC. So the loan to Grasshoppers is almost inevitable.

45. Minute

Oh dear, four minutes of injury time left. We have to get through this.

43. Minute

You’re right, a yellow card is often followed by a free kick. That’s what happened this time. But it’s just so bad that we want to forget it straight away.

37. Minute

It’s almost halftime. And somehow the air has already gone out of the game. A goal could do the game some good. Or four red cards. Or Ronaldinho at his best. But we don’t want to be greedy. So we’ll be happy with the goal.
