Super League: Servette FC gets its feet wet

Unforgivable Servette FC! Despite an opening goal from Dereck Kutesa in the 9th minute, the Garnets got their feet wet against FC Winterthur.

In front of their public, the Genevans had to settle for a draw (1-1) without this result really harming them. As the minutes passed, the Zurich team managed to get their heads above water to exploit all the largesse conceded by an opponent deprived of his suspended playing master Timothé Cognat. And who will be again next Sunday in Bern against Young Boys.

Winterthur equalized just before the hour mark through Antoine Baroin. The Frenchman masterfully concluded a break after a Servetti corner. An equalizer like the match which saw Servette FC play against common sense and lose two precious points in the fight for the title.

In the standings, Servette FC is now two points behind Lugano, victorious 4-1 in Lucerne on Saturday, and one behind FC Basel. Even if their draw in Saint-Gall costs them the leadership chair, the Rhinelanders can smile after this 17th day. The equalizer at eleven against ten by the German Anton Kade in the 85th minute testifies to the strength of character of Fabio Celestini’s eleven. And the efficiency of a 20-year-old player who asserts himself with Xherdan Shaqiri, passer in this 1-1 action, as one of the major assets of the FCB.
