Servette and Lucerne play out a 2-2 draw in the final quarter of an hour. The Central Swiss side took the lead, but Servette responded immediately. So it's clear: Servette loses the lead to FCZ.
In the end, both teams are likely to be annoyed about the points split. After all, both sides had chances to score the winning goal in the closing stages. First, Lucerne captain Pius Dorn failed to put the ball into the orphaned goal at the second post after a free kick. Then Timothé Cognat missed the golden opportunity when he failed to beat Pascal Loretz from a central position.
Servette opened the scoring after just under half an hour. Miroslav Stevanovic scored after a wonderful attack by Geneva. Enzo Crivelli perfectly placed a cross from Timothé Cognat into the path of the Bosnian, who had no trouble putting the ball in the net. Luca Jaquez was able to reply for the visitors before the break. It was the Lucerne center-back's third goal in the last five games.
After a turbulent first half, in which Geneva hit the crossbar once through Yoan Severin but Lucerne also had their chances, the game calmed down in the second half. Until the final quarter of an hour, which was a tough one. First, Kevin Spadanuda, who had come on as a substitute two minutes earlier, put the visitors ahead. Two minutes later, Dereck Kutesa equalized with his ninth goal of the season.
Servette's point win sees them close the gap on leaders Zurich in the table, while Lucerne have now gone four games without a win and remain in 5th place.

Why FCL legend Renggli transformed Jaquez from striker to defensive boss
Luca Jaquez, 21-year-old defender jewel at FC Luzern, was a striker or attacking midfielder throughout his time in the FCL youth ranks. Until former FCL star Michel Renggli converted him into a central defender at U18 level.
What initially caused Jaquez a lack of understanding quickly became a great stroke of luck for him. Within a year, his estimated market value on transfermarkt.ch has more than quadrupled: from CHF 600,000 to CHF 2.5 million. If he continues like this, his value is likely to continue to climb rapidly.
Renggli tells blue why he took Jaquez to the back, how he took it and what he expects from him in the future.
