Vaduz celebrate their third home win in a row. Coach Marc Schneider's team won 2:1 against Xamax, coached by Uli Forte.
Dominik Schwizer, who played for Xamax on loan last season, secured the win for the Liechtenstein side with a converted penalty in the 75th minute. Vaduz are now unbeaten in six games and moved to within two points of third-placed Neuchâtel, who have lost four of their last six games.
Stade Lausanne-Ouchy and Stade Nyonnais also met on Friday evening. As in the first meeting this season, it was a clear-cut affair: after a 3-0 away win at the end of August, Lausanne-Ouchy won 6-2 at home.
