First the heartfelt hug, then he sank to his knees and symbolically cleaned Cedric Itten’s shoe: Jean-Pierre Nsame knew who to thank when it was 3-0 in the 57th minute. Itten’s ingenious pass into the run gave the Cameroonian no problem in scoring his second goal of the evening. The fair in Wankdorf had long since been read by then. Kuopio, who had already lost 2-0 to the Bernese in the first leg in Finland, never came close to a possible exploit. It remained at 3:0, the overall result of 5:0 adequately reflected the balance of power.
As a kind of sparring partner, KuPS offered the Young Boys the useful opportunity to give a number of supplementary players game practice under serious conditions. For his part, new signing Itten was able to prove that he had already internalized the running patterns of his team-mates. The former Basel and St Gallen striker set up Nsame’s early opening goal, which came after a superb combination. Likewise Vincent Sierros 2: 0 (35th). This pulled powerfully from the edge of the penalty area and gave Kuopio keeper Johannes Kreidl no chance.
