3 penalties and 2 sending offs FCZ experience an afternoon to forget in Lucerne

FC Zurich lost 3-1 to their neighbors from Lucerne in the 20th round of the Super League. The visitors conceded three penalties and ended up with only nine players on the pitch.

22 minutes had been played in Lucerne when Daniel Denoon saw his second yellow card and was sent off. It was the third blow for FC Zurich. And the visitors were not to recover from this one.

At the time of the sending off, the home team were already 2:0 up. The Lucerne side had scored twice from the spot, with Sinan Karweina scoring with his head in the 12th minute. Adrian Grbic converted his attempt safely against Yanick Brecher (18). Zurich were clumsy with both penalties. First Rodrigo Conceição ran over Tyron Owusu, then Denoon hit Thibault Klidjé in the face with his elbow.

Despite being outnumbered, Zurich did not give up and created opportunities. They were unable to capitalize on any of them for the time being. On the contrary: after an hour, they handed out their fourth gift. Stefan Knezevic gratefully accepted the pluck from Cheveyo Tsawa. Grbic converted the resulting penalty, this time also after the break.

The consolation goal for FCZ was not very conciliatory. In stoppage time, goalscorer Lindrit Kamberi was the second player from his team to be sent to the showers early after a serious foul

Comments on the match

Man of the Match: Adrian Grbic

"The Austrian made the difference with two goals at the end. Although in this crazy game, the title could also go to FCZ goalie Yanick Brecher, who saves two penalties - and still ends up empty-handed ..." (blue Sport commentator Marko Vucur)
