YB fails for Zigi and himself: St. Gallen steals the point in Bern

The long-awaited showdown between Young Boys and Gallen ends without goals and without winners. The champion and cup winner proves his superiority for once without any countable success.

After this point, FC St. Gallen will be able to sleep well in Wankdorf. After two losses in a row, Peter Zeidler’s team reached the best team in the Super League and were awarded one point. The Bernese faced a not new problem when they lost a point to eastern Switzerland for the first time in their stadium for nearly four years: lack of efficiency.

During the week, the champion and the cup winner had fallen out of his pattern, known this season. Scoring goals in the Europa League on Thursday was surprisingly easy for Gerardo Seoane’s side, but in the league they are back to square one. In addition to Lawrence Ati Zigi, who saved his team from falling behind with several strong saves, Bern’s offensive forces were also responsible for ensuring the match ended without a winner.

At 21 ‘Christian Fassnacht – only with a header – should have scored 1-0 for YB, he missed the goal. Ten minutes later, Elia runs alone to Zigi and kicks into the net. Bern’s biggest chance was missed by Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu, who shot over the goal from three meters about twenty minutes before the end. The Bernese showed the FCSG the championship in a playful way without posting anything countable on his account. Guests from Eastern Switzerland only sometimes knew how to keep up with the home team.

If FC St. Gallen at times had problems with penalty decisions during duels with Young Boys last season, that right would have been with the Berners after the last fight. About ten minutes before half-time, Basil Stillhart stood at the foot of the conspicuous Meschack Elia in his own penalty area, referee Urs Schnyder rated the action as legitimate dueling behavior.
