It was halftime in St. Gallen. The Eastern Swiss team had just given the Lucerne team a little lesson on the pitch for 45 minutes. And they had also scored two goals through Vallci and Geubbels.

The score was 2-0 when Albert Vallci came to the TV channel “Blue” for a halftime interview. He was happy with his team’s performance. But he still said: “The second 45 minutes will be a long one.” That was a cliché, of course it was. But Vallci would probably have preferred to have been less correct. Because when the second half began, FC Luzern suddenly set the tone.

The Central Swiss team created a series of opportunities immediately after the break and scored in the 56th minute. Klidjé completed a strong attack after a pass from Ciganik.

The match was restarted and St. Gallen again had promising moments in the opponent’s penalty area. But it was the Lucerne team that continued to be significantly better, becoming a little quicker and more creative, creating more opportunities and once again rewarding themselves for their efforts.

In the 80th minute, striker Spadanuda came on for striker Villiger. And a few minutes later the score was 2:2. The goal scorer after the botched clearance by St. Gallen’s goalkeeper Zigi: Spadanuda.

And at the end there is a penalty for St. Gallen, but then the VAR comes

It could have been the end of a thrilling game. But it wasn’t. Because Lucerne didn’t hold back any more and thanks to Dorn even made it 3-2 (88′). And because there was a penalty for St. Gallen right at the end – or so everyone thought until the VAR intervened because it had spotted a St. Gallen offside before the penalty.

So the St. Gallen team was left with nothing but defeat. And the Lucerne team ran around the pitch in celebration at the end of the game. They have firmly established themselves at the top of the Super League.
