the essentials in brief
- Lucerne gives the win against FCZ in injury time.
- Roko Simic turns the game upside down with two late goals.
- The frustration is great at the FCL – this is where the voices come into play.
Was for a start to the second half of the season! The FCZ is actually already beaten. Then comes stoppage time – and the bottom of the table fights the 2: 2 in Lucerne in extremis.
Substitute Roko Simic becomes the match winner: after 89 minutes he brings Zurich back on track with a dream volley. In stoppage time, he keeps track of a mess and hammers the ball into the net to equalize.
Only two weeks ago, the Croatian came on loan from Red Bull Salzburg to Zurich.
The FCL is very frustrated: “Sometimes it’s a Sunday shot, sometimes it’s ping-pong. But something like that shouldn’t happen to us,” says Pascal Schürpf.
Mohamed Dräger is also angry. “We worked hard to get the two-goal lead. Then it was a beautiful Sunday shot. But we can no longer give that out of hand. It feels like two points lost.”
On the other hand, Antonio Marchesano is happy that the defeat at the start of the second half could be avoided. “It was very important for morale.”
FC Luzern leads 2-0 against FCZ up to the 89th minute
Previously, the Lucerne team was actually leading 2-0 and looked like the sure winner. After an hour, the central Swiss take the lead with VAR help.
In a duel in his own sixteen, FCZler Kounde plays the ball, but also catches Pascal Schürpf. Enough for the video referees to tune in.
Fedayi San looks at the pictures and decides on a penalty. A controversial decision. Max Meyer doesn’t let himself be bitten twice and certainly uses the bottom right.
After 83 minutes, Sofyan Chader counterattacked to make it 2-0. Everyone in the Swisspor Arena expects three points. All except Roko Simic…
Can the FCZ give up the red lantern in the second half of the season?
With the point, the FCZ remains the last one great league. The gap to Winterthur is only three points. The climber can don’t play Geneva tomorrow because die Schützenwiese is frozen too solid.
