Mattia Croci-Torti’s men did not take many risks at Tourbillon, also hindered by a well-organized FC Sion. Both teams were mainly focused on not losing: the first – and only – shot on target was recorded in the 80th minute.

Interesting Debut of Miranchuk

Sion had their chance but lacked punch and ideas towards the end of the match. The substitution of the new playmaker Anton Miranchuk in the 60th minute may have contributed to this decline in performance.

Nonetheless, this point confirms the good start to the season for the Valais club. The promoted Sédunois are currently in 5th place with 11 points, two less than Servette and three less than the leading trio. They will try to challenge Zurich at Letzigrund next Sunday.
