“What a goal,” says Matthias Hüppi: How FC St.Gallen defeated Servette, who was more dangerous over long stretches, 2-0
It seemed to be a typical 0-0 game. Until St.Gallen took the lead in the 68th minute. And these no longer gave. The stories and assessments of it.
And suddenly FC St.Gallen was leading. Betim Fazliji, the green and white all-rounder, just took a shot from about 23 meters and put the ball under the crossbar. 1:0 for FCSG in the 68th minute. There was little indication of a goal on both sides. Whereby Servette, apart from the successful start phase of the St. Gallen, was the more dangerous team for long stretches of the game.
In the middle of the first half, the Grenats missed several good chances. Imeri even hit a free kick against the post. And yet the defense of the guests allowed little. The same applied to Geneva’s defence. Until Fazliji took heart and met. With the victory in the Stade de Genève, the St.Gallen team are still three points behind in third place, with the Bernese Young Boys, who are currently in third place, having a game less and a goal difference that is many goals better.
