With a bit of luck, but also a lot of determination, the Grasshoppers won their first win since February 12 at the Stade de Genève. The Zurich team thus increases the gap to Lucerne and the Barrageplatz to 8 points for the time being.
Servette missed equalization several times
Servette had not lost in 7 home games recently. The fact that the series broke against GC of all places should annoy the people of Geneva. There were plenty of chances to score. After the break, the guests had managed to keep the opponent a little better away from their own goal. But in the closing stages, Alain Geiger’s team pushed harder and created good opportunities.
- 72 minutes: Chris Bedia’s header narrowly misses the GC case.
- 81 minutes: Timothé Cognat whirls at the edge of the penalty area and pulls away. But André Moreira can defuse the shot.
- 88 minutes: Miroslav Stevanovic tries his luck, but also finds his master in Moreira.
GC, for their part, celebrated the supposed 2-0 in the 50th minute. Bendeguz Bolla’s goal was preceded by a foul by Hayao Kawabe when winning the ball. The VAR gave referee Lukas Fähndrich a helping hand and the goal was annulled.
Bonatini hardened to the point, Imeri not
Servette could have equalized immediately after falling behind to make it 1-1. Because both teams had been awarded a penalty in the starting phase:
- 10 minutes: Leo Bonatini scored under Jérémy Frick’s arm to make it 1-0 for GC. Nicolas Vouilloz had previously hit Francis Momoh on the heel and brought down the GC striker.
- 18 minutes: Allan Arigoni holds off Chris Bedia in the penalty area for the 10th penalty against GC this season. Kastriot Imeri misses the shot and misses the 1:1.
After the acclaimed 1-0 win against Zurich a week ago, Geneva failed to get a little closer to the European places. The gap to YB in 3rd place is still 6 points.
This is how it goes
Servette travels to Noch-Meister YB in Bern next Saturday. The following day, GC welcomes Lausanne to the Letzigrund.
