Promoted team in early form Sion overruns Lausanne and also wins its second game of the season

FC Sion also win their second game of the new Super League season. The newly promoted team beat Lausanne-Sport 4:0 at home.

After a year in the Challenge League, FC Sion have returned to the top division with renewed vigor. With Théo Berdayes and Ali Kabacalman, two players scored the first two goals in the first ten minutes, representing the new Sion, which relies more on locals than in the past. The two Vaudois players helped Yverdon to promotion in the season before last, but remained in the Challenge League themselves: 22-year-old Berdayes returned to Valais after a loan spell, while Kabacalman joined Sion on a free transfer.

On Saturday evening at the Tourbillon, Berdayes made it 1-0 after less than seven minutes following a counter-attack and a good finish. Kabacalman doubled the lead three minutes later with a converted penalty. What followed was less spectacular, but efficient. Sion defended with solidarity and discipline against the attacks of Lausanne, who had repeatedly caught the Basel defense off guard last weekend. This time they found hardly any solutions and remained winless against FC Sion for a 14th game in a row.

Cristian Souza and Numa Lavanchy scored the third and fourth goals in the final ten minutes in front of over 10,000 fans in the Valais stadium.

Man of the Match: Numa Lavanchy

"Unsurprisingly, he also put in an incredible amount of running on the pitch today. Best example, his first goal for FC Sion in the final phase. Keeps his cool and scores with an ice-cold lob".
(blue Sport commentator Stefan Flückiger)
