When Antonio Marchesano launched attacking partner Assan Ceesay with a magistral through pass after half an hour and the Gambier Servette goalie Frick had no chance at the end and booked his tenth goal of the season, the game seemed to take the expected run.

This was all the more the case when Mirlind Kryeziu increased with a remarkable free kick from around 30 meters before the break. But in the second half, the team of trainer André Breitenreiter did not play such a decisive role in the game, so Servette got into the game.

First of all, Miroslav Stevanovic and Kastriot Imeri presented the increasingly low-lying Zurich residents with problems again and again. Initially, the Bosnian Stevanovic had bad luck in the first half with his bar header, which barely bounced behind the line. But then the young Swiss national player Imeri brought back the hope of a point win for Servette when he defeated FCZ goalkeeper Yanick Brecher in the 66th minute with a deliberate finish from the edge of the penalty area. As a result, Alain Geiger’s Geneva team remained dominant, but the Zurich team saved the lead over time.

Servette bear market continues
After two draws in the league and the elimination in the cup against Yverdon in the penalty shootout, the FCZ can celebrate a victory again for the first time. The Zurich team distance Master YB by three points. The Genevans have been waiting for a win across all competitions for eight games.
They have all lost the last five games in the league. Only in the relegation season 2012/13 there was a similar negative series. At that time, Servette lost six times in a row in the Super League. The lead over the restricted area is two points.
