Young Boys qualify for the quarter-finals of the Swiss Cup with some difficulty. In a game with three red cards, a goal from Sandro Lauper is enough for the Swiss champions to win 1-0.
Advancing is everything, YB can say to themselves after their visit to Schaffhausen. In front of just over 4,500 spectators, the Bernese did not put in a confident performance against the Challenge League penultimate-placed team, who are in dire financial straits. A good spell for the favorites at the end of the first half-hour with Sandro Lauper's goal, which came shortly after Cedric Itten's shot from around 25 meters hit the inside of the post, decided the game.
YB goalkeeper Marvin Keller, who impressed in his first appearance in a month, held on to the win. The substitute for David von Ballmoos was decisive with saves before and after Mohamed Ali Camara's dismissal (67). The Bern center-back, who had been playing as captain, was shown a red card for grabbing the neck of opponent Ben Schläppi, but there were no consequences. At the other end, Marc Giger (80) and Schläppi (81) soon nullified the numerical advantage with their dismissals.
YB made their season debut in Schaffhausen. Joël Magnin's team won two domestic games in a row for the first time. On Sunday, they defeated St. Gallen at home in the Super League, and on Saturday they will host FC Sion.

Schaffhausen with a Herculean task
Schaffhausen have thrown their good starting position overboard in a very short space of time and are now chasing a deficit while outnumbered. At the moment, it looks as if YB will advance to the quarter-finals.

Third red card! Schaffhausen are now outnumbered
That's unbelievable! Two red cards against Schaffhausen in one minute. This time it's Ben Schläppi who is yellow-carded for a foul. However, this is his second, which is why he also has to go to the showers early. Suddenly Schaffhausen are outnumbered!

Schaffhausen's Giger also sees red
Marc Giger is pushed away impetuously by Athekame, whereupon the Schaffhausen player lets himself be carried away into a brutal frustration foul and is rightly sent off. The home team's numerical advantage is now gone again.

Schaffhausen equalizer disallowed
Now events come thick and fast. Schaffhausen pressed for the equalizer and scored immediately. However, Horisberger blew the whistle - and rightly so. TV footage shows that YB goalie Keller is holding the ball in both hands as it is knocked out of his grasp and then into the goal.

YB outnumbered - red card for Camara
Emotions boil over after tough tackles in midfield and a scuffle breaks out. Referee Stefan Horisberger punishes an assault by Camara - who grabs Schläppi by the throat and pushes him backwards - and shows the YB defender the red card. A justifiable decision. Niasse and Schaffhausen duo Ben Schläppi and Orges Bunjaku are also shown a yellow card.

Schaffhausen press for the equalizer
First it's Marc Giger who forces Keller into a brilliant save from distance, then the YB keeper has to intervene again at the subsequent corner. Schaffhausen are now building up a good head of steam.

Quiet start to the 2nd half
The second half has got off to a slow start so far. Minor fouls are preventing an orderly flow of play.

Itten goal disallowed after offensive foul
Bujar Lika commits a foul on Cedric Itten on the touchline. The resulting free kick lands behind De Nitti in the goal, but the referee does not recognize the goal and instead decides that an offensive foul has been committed.

Lauper gives YB the lead
After Itten fails to hit the crossbar, Sandro Lauper follows up with a shot from long range. And it hits the target! The ball hits the inside of the post and lands in the goal. 1:0 for YB.

De Nitti prevents YB from taking the lead
Ebrima Colley gets the ball in the penalty area. He shoots directly. But Gianni De Nitti is on hand to save the ball. There is a corner for YB, which does not result in anything.

Schaffhausen set the tone
Anyone who thinks that Young Boys are dominating the game and pressing for the opening goal is wrong. Although it's not just the home team that has the ball here, Schaffhausen are actually the better team.

Schaffhausen make their presence felt with a top chance
As soon as YB have their first shot on target, the home team respond with a top chance. However, Lenjani fails to beat YB goalkeeper Keller from a good position.

No chances yet
Schaffhausen are doing a good job so far and are not allowing a flowing game to develop. Apart from a harmless corner, the Bernese side have yet to create any chances worth mentioning.

Let's go
The kick-off in Schaffhausen is delayed. Thick smoke is to blame. Referee Stefan Horisberger waits until the smoke has cleared. Then he gives the starting signal. The guests from Bern kick off.
