FC Zurich and FC Luzern play 0-0
FCZ breakers about the start of the season: “No one expected us to continue seamlessly”(02:36)

The game
“Now we have to land a win!” – FCZ coach Franco Foda knew before the game against FC Luzern that his team was doomed to win after the 0:4 against YB and the 2:3 in the Champions League qualifier against Karabakh. But nothing will come of it!
The lightness that was in excess just a few weeks ago? She seems gone. The people of Zurich seem sluggish, only in the first twenty minutes does it run like clockwork. After that, FC Luzern will play better. Twice the crossbeams, a safe Yannick Brecher in the FCZ goal and the inability to finish FC Luzern prevent the next FCZ bankruptcy at the start of the season.
At least there is something positive for Foda and Co: FCZ is tight at the back for the first time after conceding seven goals in the first two games.
The goals
none.
The best
Nicky Beloko. At the age of 17, the Vaud native came to Sion for 22 minutes in the Super League, after which he trundled through Europe. Now the 22-year-old FCL newcomer shows a lot of presence and duel strength in the center on his debut.
The worst
Ardon Jashari. At the age of 19 he is already FCL captain for the first time. But this premiere goes badly in the pants with yellow-red after two stupid fouls.

That was something to talk about
FCZ trainer Franco Foda had actually announced it. Lucerne will not know how Zurich competes in the Letzigrund, he said on Thursday. And indeed: six changes in the starting eleven plus a new tactical direction with 4-4-2 compared to the game during the week in the Champions League qualifier at Karabakh Agdam. The big FCZ rotation already in the first of six visible English weeks! Foda rotates in Okita, Tosin, Condé, Mets, Seiler and Gogia. Gogia and Mets have not been used at all so far, Seiler only 6 minutes against YB and striker Okita a total of 18 minutes.
That gave something to talk about II
Just like at the Women’s European Championship in England, now said goodbye in Letzigrund: Nati defender Rahel Kiwic not only ended her national career, but also, like Martina Moser and Riana Fischer, is also a Super League player at FCZ. During the break, the trio will be honored by President Ancillo Canepa.
Here’s how to proceed
For FCZ, the groundbreaking Champions League qualifier against Karabag is on Wednesday (7:00 p.m. kick-off). FC Luzern will only continue on August 7th – they meet FC Lugano away from 4.30 p.m.
