Video highlights A sending off, a referee substitution, but no winner at the Letzigrund

Grasshoppers and Servette drew 2-2 in the seventh round of the Super League, with two firsts in a game with plenty of goalscoring opportunities.

Grasshoppers took the lead through new signing Mathieu Choinière in the 23rd minute. The Canadian nodded a corner from Giotto Morandi into the net. It was the 25-year-old's first goal in his first game for GC.

At the other end, Usman Simbakoli also scored for the first time for his new club. The 22-year-old scored in the 11th minute of stoppage time in the first half to make it 2:1 for the visitors, after Dereck Kutesa had previously equalized.

Referee Thies substituted due to injury

The long stoppage time was necessary because referee Tobias Thies was injured after a few minutes and Stefan Horisberger had to take over for him.

Young-Jun Lee scored for the home team shortly after the break. Following a corner, the South Korean poked the ball over the line at the second post. It was the second goal in the third game for the 21-year-old new signing from Grasshoppers.

Dramatic final phaseLucerne turn things around and beat St.Gallen after trailing 2-0

An unpleasant scene occurred around 20 minutes before the end. Morandi committed an unsporting act against Gaël Ondoua, who retaliated with an assault and was sent off. Despite being outnumbered, GC were unable to score another goal. The Zurich side have thus been waiting for a win against Geneva since September 2019. After seven defeats in a row against Servette, GC at least managed to earn a point.

Man of the Match: Usman Simbakoli (Servette)

Still in the Promotion League last season, he gets his chance in the starting eleven today and promptly scores. Could have scored three times.
