“Super League unsuitable” was the verdict on FC Winterthur in many places at the latest after the 0: 6 swatter against FC Luzern a little over a month ago. Winti coach Bruno Berner seems to have found the right words for his team during the international break. Because: After the 3-1 victory at Sion and the 0-0 at FCZ, the Eulachstadt team landed a coup against GC in the second canton derby within six days.
The story of the first half is quickly told. Despite the best atmosphere on the sold-out Schützenwiese goal chances remain scarce. The home team comes closest to the opening goal twice, only just missing the 1-0 after a back-heel from Buess (23rd) and then after a shot by Matteo Di Giusto (33rd).
GC fan throws lighter at Winti-Buess’ head
But the Winti fans can cheer shortly after the break whistle. Goalie Timothy Fayulu hits the ball wide to Diaby, who then crosses the ball to Samir Ramizi in an exemplary manner. The striker (51st) does not need to be asked twice and pushes in to lead the promoted team. A short time later, Hayao Kawabe has a huge chance to equalize, but the GC-Japanese misses in front of Fayulu, who saves miraculously.
A short time later, there was a moment of shock: an object – presumably a lighter – flies out of the GC fan block in the direction of the field and hits Winterthurs Buess in the head. However, the striker can continue playing, which is why the referee waives further (short-term) consequences.
Goal scorer with finger finger scandal
The lighter throw is not the only big excitement on the Schützenwiese. After the final whistle, referee Cibelli watches Ramizi’s action. And indeed: Ramizi showed the GC fans the middle finger. But he still sees red after the end of the game and will therefore miss his team in the next game.
