A difficult week for FC Sion! Held in check on Tuesday by Neuchâtel Xamax (1-1), the Sédunois stalled again at Tourbillon.
They shared the stake in front of Vaduz (2-2) just after the great 4-0 success of FC Thun at home against Neuchâtel Xamax. In the standings, FC Sion is 4 points ahead of the Bernese, who however have one game in hand. Suffice it to say that nothing has yet been done in this fight for direct promotion.
Like Tuesday, FC Sion had the good fortune to equalize at the end of the match on an autogoal from the unfortunate Roy Gelmi. However, with the opening of the score on a penalty from Reto Ziegler in added time of the first period, FC Sion had, it seems, done the hard part. But once again, his lack of rigor in the last thirty meters greatly penalized him. Didier Tholot has three weeks ahead of him to find a certain defensive base before the semi-final of the Swiss Cup against Lugano.
In Thun, Neuchâtel Xamax held 0-0 for a half before giving in to opposing pressure. As if Tuesday’s match at Sion had still weighed heavily on the legs of Uli Forte’s players.
