The Zurich defeat the Valais in the Letzigrund without discussion 5: 1. If FC Basel loses against Lucerne on Sunday, FC Zurich will be the Swiss champions ahead of time.
Have a lot of reason to be happy at the moment: Zurich cheer after the 4: 1 through Aiyegun Tosin (middle).
(sda) Between the 20th minute and the half-time break, Zurich gave the Valais a lot of space and dictation. During this phase, the conspicuous defensive player Dimitri Cavaré scored the connecting goal to make it 1:2. But before and after you saw a FCZ like you had seen him in many games of this championship: appearing with self-confidence, creating chances and not missing a large number of them.
It was 2-1 after just nine minutes. Assan Ceesay used a serious lapse in the Sion expansion game for his 17th goal of the season in the championship. On the other hand, the 2-0 was magnificent. Fabian Rohner, who was injured shortly before the break, converted a wide cross from Ousmane Doumbia with a full direct acceptance. As long as he was in the game, Rohner represented the injured regular player Nikola Boranijasevic – not only with his goal – excellent.
After the break, coach André Breitenreiter’s team never let themselves be in danger of giving up points. Fidan Aliti and – with two goals – the substitute Aiyegun Tosin continuously increased the score. The fact that a substitute scored late goals is one of the hallmarks of the strong FCZ this season.
Whether the people of Zurich and their fans can celebrate their well-deserved championship victory “on the sofa” on Sunday depends on the only remaining pursuer, FC Basel. The championship is decided when Basel lose at home against FC Luzern, who need points.
