No goals in Valais Lugano keeps Sion at bay, but misses out on leap to 1st place

FC Sion and Lugano played out a goalless draw in a match characterized by intense fighting. The Ticino side thus kept the Valaisans at bay in the table, but missed out on the sole lead.

The two teams did not offer the spectators at the Tourbillon a real treat. Chances were few and far between on both sides. Yanis Cimignani missed the best opportunity for the visitors. After half an hour and a one-two with Uran Bislimi, the 22-year-old Frenchman missed from a promising position.

At the other end, it was Cimignani's compatriot Ilyas Chouaref who had the lucky punch on his feet ten minutes from time. But even the 23-year-old was unable to score with his first and only (!) shot on goal of the entire match.

Thanks to the points, Lugano have caught up with the leading duo of Zurich and Lucerne in the table, although Zurich still have a game in hand.
