The Valais side had been waiting for three points since the 2-0 win against FC Winterthur in the Tourbillon in mid-August. At least they survived two rounds in the cup during this phase, but in the league they only managed five points out of a possible 27.
The fact that the team is still alive despite their negative streak was impressively demonstrated against Lucerne. Sion took a 2-0 lead in the first 20 minutes through Dejan Sorgic and Ilyas Chouaref and would have secured victory earlier than in the final half-hour had they made more consistent use of their scoring opportunities. But the promoted team had to tremble. Only after Luzern had come back to 2:2 did an own goal by Jesper Löfgren provoked by Chouaref after just over an hour and a counter-attack completed by Chouaref in the 89th minute decide the game.
Thibault Klidjé, who has now scored six goals this season, had unexpectedly brought Luzern back into the game with a double strike (49th and 59th). Coach Mario Frick's plan worked, at least for the time being: to get his team to react with a number of personnel changes at the break. After the rebellion, however, Sion came closer and closer to scoring.
