No miracle for SR Delémont in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Cup! Even if they hung on to Servette FC for a half, the Jurassiens ended up being taken out by Grenat strong enough not to be trapped (2-0).
Servette forced the decision in the 52nd minute through Stevanovic. Coming into play at the break, the Bosnian international recovered a cross from Bolla to deceive Oberle’s vigilance. This opening score forced SR Delémont to reveal themselves, something they had barely done in the first half, even if François had almost surprised Frick in the 44th minute.
Nishimura finds the loophole
Solid behind, the SFC did not come close to doubling the mark on the hour mark by Nishimura, who saw his shot very well deflected by Oberle.
Fifteen minutes later (74th), the Japanese’s riot of energy was rewarded. Served by Stevanovic, the former Yokohama Marinos player found the fault at the near post to propel SFC for good into the semi-finals of the Swiss Cup, the draw for which will be held on Thursday evening.
