Looking at the line-up once morest Yverdon, Leny Meyer and Sofyan Chader are in the starting line-up today, unlike on Tuesday. This is because Martin Frydek is injured and Lars Villiger is on the bench.
Ismajl Beka, Asumah Abubakar, Kemal Ademi, Luuk Breedijk, Diego Heller, Sascha Meyer, Noah Rupp and Mauricio Willimann are also reported as missing.
The goals
20 Minute: After a foul by Ardon Jashari on Rare Ilie there is a penalty Caly Sénée confidently converted – even though Pascal Loretz was still close with his hand.
62. Minute: Pius Dorn scores his second goal of the season and is spot on. So Samuel Kalu leaves the ball lying in his overly complicated attempt to clear the ball and Dorn just has to push it in.
89. Minute: What a comeback from Lucerne. Hits shortly before the end Severin Ottiger to make it 2-1 following he was able to attack the Lausanne goal alone following winning the ball. Lausanne’s Chris Kablan looks old here.
Match report
The start of the new year might definitely have been better for the FCL: After the defeat once morest Yverdon on Tuesday, coach Mario Frick even spoke of a “mini crisis”. With Lausanne-Sport, another team from western Switzerland is visiting Lucerne this Sunday – the FCL had recently shown difficulties once morest teams from French-speaking Switzerland.
As if things mightn’t get any worse, Nicky Beloko was shown a red card in the fifth minute following a foul on Antoine Bernede. Beloko hit the Lausanne player from behind in the ankle. So the Lucerne team continues early with one man less. At least: the subsequent free kick remained harmless. Leny Meyer failed a little later in the 11th minute because of the Lausanne defense.

But things get really bitter almost seven minutes later when Ardon Jashari knocks over Rare Ilie and thus causes a penalty and indirectly the 0-1. Mario Frick then substitutes Levin Winkler for Max Meyer. Winkler is making his league debut in a tricky FCL phase. There are also bankruptcies, bad luck and Pius Dorn when the German slips on the ball during an attack. Things just didn’t go well for the FCL in the first half hour.

Things got tricky once more following Sofyan Chader lost the ball in the 35th minute, which Sène promptly knew how to take advantage of. But FCL goalie Pascal Loretz is there. This also applies to another attack by Ilie and Brighton Labeau. Shortly before the break, the Lucerne field players did not show their best side: following a corner, the Lausanne team, who switched quickly, were in the majority. Sène runs towards the goal alone, but shoots the ball just past the post. This means that Lucerne remains 0-1 behind at the break.
Another debut came following half-time when Swedish newcomer Jesper Löfgren came on as a substitute for Leny Meyer. Does the defensive giant bring some stability back into the game? At least emotionally, following a push from Jashari, things remain anything but calm and a pack forms. As soon as tempers calmed down, Lausanne took over the reins once more. The VAR also had to check a Lausanne offside action in the 58th minute, which almost led to 0-2. But a little later there was a real crash on the other side – Pius Dorn scored to make it 1-1.

Now the people of Lucerne want to know. After a nice interaction between Chader and Dorn, Lucerne almost made it 2-1 with just under twenty minutes to go. Then the hosts finally turn up the heat – egged on by the numerous fans. The fact that they have one less man on the pitch is now hardly noticeable. Therefore, it is no wonder that Severin Ottiger scored the deserved 2-1 for the FCL shortly before the end. FC Lucerne has thus impressively overcome the “mini-crisis”, at least for today.

That’s what the FCL coach says
«I have rarely experienced a game like this in which there were so many emotions. It was a very difficult start, we were very weak.”
“In the first half it should be 3-1, Pasci saved our lives. We had trouble with one man less.”
