Challenge League: GC further extends its leadership in the standings

The game: Just before half-time, GC defender Toti Gomes no longer understands the world. Referee Jancevski whistled a penalty in his hand, even as the ball bounced off Gomes’s chin. The VAR? There is no such thing in the Challenge League, the Grasshoppers are raging.

And the god of football? He seems to hear Zurich’s moans … GC goalkeeper Mateo Matic blocks Aarau’s weak penalty from Olivier Jäckle. Matic becomes a hero, also because he prevents the draw in the second half with two great saves. His counterpart, Simon Enzler, parried a few times. But his giant ram will be remembered after 31 minutes. Instead of maneuvering the ball out of the danger zone, he slides onto the Brügglifeld lawn and sends the ball directly into André Santos’ feet. The Portuguese says obrigado and hits from about 30 meters. “I check my passport badly and make a bad passport. I take the gate on my hat “, says goalkeeper Aarau after” Blue Sport “. And again:” What a pity, today we were the best team. “

It is not Aarau’s last gift, with twenty minutes remaining Raoul Giger plays a bad catastrophic pass in the forward movement and starts the Hoppers counterattack. Petar Pusic forgives completely free and throws the ball instead of into the empty goal. At the end on a side note, GC takes the three home and continues to greet from the top of the standings. Aarau was expecting a three-game win.

The gate: 31. André Santos 0: 1.
