- YB got a deserved 3-1 win at Sion at teh start of the 17th Super League round.
- the Valaisans scored in the 14th and 16th minutes from set pieces, and in the second half Cheikh Niasse was sent off for the Young Boys.
- In the parallel game, GC lost the lead against Yverdon.Lugano wins clearly 4-1 at Lucerne and takes the leadership throne for the time being.
YB has been smelling the morning air lately – at least in the Super League. Between the 11th and 16th rounds, the gap to the leaders was reduced from 5 points to 9 points. But the next solution immediately followed. At Sion, the Young Boys suffered a 3-1 defeat after a disastrous frist half defeat. so “Yellow-Black” remains in 9th place after this round.
YB, who were trailing 0-2 from the 16th minute on and even 0-3 at the break, tried to make a triple substitution (Cedric Itten, Zachary Athekame and Lukasz Lakomi for Alan Virginius, Jauoen hadjam and Filip Ugrinic). big race come up. But opportunities for the champions remained scarce. From the 66th minute on, the expected salvation was misunderstood: Cheikh Niasse was red-carded after a surge. It was YB’s sixth dismissal this season – a league record! At least Joel Monteiro scored a consolation goal in the 94th minute with his 5th goal of the season.
YB and the standards
Sion then used two standards to reveal the glaring problems in YB’s defense this season:
- 14. Moment:
Liam Chipperfield goes to the left corner. In this one, Diouf won the header duel. The end, which looked harmless at first, bounced past friend and foe and into YB’s goal through the inside post. - 16. Moment:
Another dead ball from chipperfield, this time a free kick from the right. At the left corner of the six-yard box, Joel Schmied can go up against his brother-in-law david von Ballmoos so unchallenged that he doesn’t even have to give up.
Anyone expecting a big YB storm was disappointed. On the contrary: after 28 minutes, two passes were enough to overcome the entire Bern defense. After the last pass went through the legs of Loris Benito, Ilyas Chouaref had no problem going in from a central position to make it 3-0.
Things could have been worse for the visitors in a controversial scene shortly before the half-time whistle: Lewin Blum’s tackle on Baltazar’s neck on the edge of the penalty area went unpunished. A whistle for Fedayi Sans could have resulted in a penalty,but it would have definitely resulted in a yellow-red card for Blum.
Thanks to the win, the Brazilian Sion will get it over after the bitter cup against Basel. The Valaisians are moving closer to the top 6 thanks to their second three-pointer in a row.
This is how it goes
Things continue to happen quickly for the Bernese: YB will visit VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday as part of the Champions League. The home game against Servette continues on sunday, December 15. This is without Niasse and the Hadjam suspended yellow. Sion goes to Yverdon the day before.
