The pain of goalkeeper Stefanos Kapino on the 0-2 signed Alvyn Sanches.

Lausanne-Sport unleashes the passions of the Vaudois when nothing goes well. When the Tuilière club is in trouble, an entire canton has an opinion on what is wrong there and says it very loudly at the Café du Commerce or on social networks. In recent weeks, calm has been the order of the day. Because Ludovic Magnin’s squad has been the best team in the Swiss elite for around ten matches. Better, Thursday evening, she gave herself the opportunity to dream in the Cup. What are the people asking to fill their stadium?
The Vaudois had rather dominated territorially at the start of the match, but conceded the first opportunity. LS fans were then worried about Labinot Bajrami’s distant free kick (19th), but Karlo Letica reassured them with a nice tap. On the corner that followed, the many Lausanne residents who made the trip were even able to be completely reassured. Theirs, in great shape in recent weeks, have confirmed their good run.
Their favorites indeed managed a school counter-attack in the 20th minute, via Fousseni Diabaté, who displaced Alban Ajdini. The latter served Antoine Bernède and the Frenchman did not miss the opportunity. The former PSG, barista in his spare time, celebrated by miming drinking an espresso. He could have exercised his passion in the Zurich locker room. Ognjen Zaric’s poor players seemed amorphous and this opening score did not wake them up.
The Zurich residents, semi-finalists of the last edition, took yet another blow to the head just before… tea. Bernède was denied a blatant penalty by referee M. Dudic, who was fortunate that Alvyn Sanches was hanging around just on the edge of the penalty area. The Lausanne prodigy, in fact, curled a magnificent shot into the top corner (45th) and put an end to the little suspense that still remained, given the form curves of the two teams involved.
Theine seemed to have a little more effect on the Schützenwiese players, but not enough to call into question the visitors’ victory. Also because Letica was watching, as on this somewhat weak attempt from Fabian Frei (60th), this close shot from Nishan Burkart (65th) or this powerful header from Remo Arnold (76th).
Fortunately, because Teddy Okou and Diabaté competed in clumsiness to miss No. 3, before the latter took aim in the 86th minute. The LS is, casually and potentially, only 270 minutes away from a first title since 1999…
