The Aarau team had the majority of the ball in the first encounter, but were only occasionally dangerous: After a quarter of an hour, Valon Fazliu saw his hidden free kick parried by visiting goalkeeper Gianni De Nitti, and later Milot Avdyli (19th/40th) tried twice with flat shots from the edge of the penalty area – without success. On the other hand, ex-Aarau player Nuno da Silva shot free-standing from the right wing after a vertical attack, but was also denied by goalkeeper Marvin Hübel (30′).
In the 41st minute, FC Aarau deservedly took the lead: After a through pass from Isaac Pappoe, Yannick Toure beat Robin Kamber in the penalty area, whereupon Valon Fazliu only had to slot it into the empty goal. But just three turns of the pointer later, the Munotstadt team’s immediate response came: a high pass from Jetmir Krasniqi found FCS center forward Raul Bobadilla, who was on the edge of the offside, who delicately steered the ball over keeper Hübel before sinking it into the goal.
After the half-time break, the first attempts by Olivier Jäckle (52′) and Bastien Conus (59′) flew past the target before FCA found themselves on the losing end when Captain Jäckle maneuvered an opposing corner at the near post into his own goal (unchallenged). 61.). The home team could no longer recover from this in front of a remarkable crowd on “Family Day”; Instead, Bobadilla (63′), Ridge Munsy (71′) and da Silva (80′) all narrowly missed a decision, while Schaffhausen goalkeeper De Nitti remained unemployed by the local heroes as the game progressed.
As a result, several series in Brügglifeld came to an end: after three draws this season, there was a winner in this direct duel for the first time. In addition, Aarau’s unbeaten streak ended twice: on the one hand, after a little more than two years – or eight games – against the Munotstadt team. On the other hand, also in Brügglifeld at home, where Aarau has not had to be defeated since October 8, 2023 (1:2 against Bellinzona).
