Super League: Lausanne-Sport does not win in front of Lucerne

The positions have not changed in the fight for the title. Leader Lugano shared the stakes with FC Basel 2-2 in the clash at the top of the 19th day while Lausanne-Sport did not find the opening against Lucerne (0-0).

After this recovery day, the top six are only separated by two points. Lugano may have thought it was achieving a good deal on Sunday. The Ticinese led until the 87th minute before conceding an equalizer on a penalty converted by Xherdan Shaqiri which had been dictated for a bad reflex by Milton Valenzuela on Bénie Traoré.

The new Rhine captain has, once again, paid in person. It was he, in fact, who was behind Kevin Carlos’ opening score in the 24th minute with a subtle pass behind the defenders’ backs.

Manhandled by a sometimes very impressive FC Basel, FC Lugano turned the situation around thanks to its defenders. Mattia Zanotti pushed Dominik Schmid into a foul for the 1-1 penalty just before the break. In the 53rd, a cross from Valenzuela found Albian Hajdari for 2-1.

Lausanne misses the boat

Lausanne-Sport did not pick up a seventh home success which would have allowed it to sit on the leader’s chair. The Vaudois lost their teeth at the brilliance of Pascal Loretz. The goalkeeper made the necessary saves, notably in the 90th minute on a header from Noë Dussenne to close the door.

Masters of the ball with 60% possession, Lausanne not only lacked efficiency in the last gesture. They had difficulty really wrapping up the meeting. It’s up to Ludovic Magnin to correct the situation before the trip next weekend to St. Gall.
