Credit Suisse Super League: Sion defeats FC Zurich 3-0

Master in Crisis

Sion finishes FCZ – champion still goalless

In the fourth Super League game, FC Zurich is unable to push the ball over the opposing goal line. FC Sion is completely different: The Valais manage it three times – and slap FCZ off with it.

The game

Up to the 57th minute, FC Zurich is playing a solid game and is closer to the opening goal than Sion. But then Sitten striker Itaitinga makes his big appearance. The Brazilian scored two goals in seven minutes against a clumsy defender from Zurich (57th/64th). The master troop also did a bungling job at 0:3. Bua walks through the entire defense. resistance? No. The FCZ seems completely off the roll, stands guard. The state of shock persisted until the end of the game – FC Zurich didn’t manage to score a goal in the fourth Super League game either and ended up sticking with a point at the end of the table.

The goals

Itaitinga, 0:1, 57. Minute: Sion launches an attack from the left. Via Bua, the ball comes to Itaitinga via detours. He shoots from eleven meters – Aliti deflects untenable.

Itaitinga, 0:2, 64. Minute: The FCZ defense is asleep! Itaitinga walks through the entire FCZ defense as if there were no defensive man there. Finally, he takes care of the ball from ten meters down on the left. Who needs Mario Balotelli when you have this Itaitinga?

68th minute, Stojilkovic, 68th minute: Again, the defense of Zurich is desolate. Bua dances out two people from Zurich, then lobs into Stojilkovic’s barrel. This lobs dry over FCZ goalie Brecher.

The best

Itaitinga. The Sion striker shot down champions FCZ with a brace within seven minutes.

The worst

Show Aliti. Where has his grandiose master form gone? The FCZ defender is not up to par at all.

That was something to talk about

Sudden excitement in Letzigrund in the 33rd minute: referee Urs Schnyder receives the signal to look at a scene on the VAR screen for a potential red card. What happened? In a duel for the ball, FCZ jewel Willy Gnonto hits Itaitinga’s calf quite hard with an open sole. For Schnyder, however, it is not worthy of red: he pulls out yellow. Which is at his discretion, because a red card review doesn’t just have the options of sending off or nothing. But also a warning. Nevertheless, Gnonto got off well: Last week at the FCZ game in St. Gallen, Espe Isaac Schmidt was sent off because of a similar scene.

Here’s how to proceed

On Thursday, Zurich will play the second leg against the Northern Irish champions Linfield (7:00 p.m.) in the Europa League qualifier. FC Sion will play GC in the Tourbillon next Saturday (6 p.m.).
