It was only in the 87th minute that Thun scored a goal in the Letzigrund. But a few seconds before the end, Zurich striker Alain Nef hit striker Dejan Sorgics from his own goal line. So FC Zurich was in danger until the last moment of the home win, which is expected against an outsider like Thun – by a cup winner, who finished third in the league this season. The first three points on the way won Zurich. But the result was, from his point of view, the best of the day. Looking closer, it must be said that the Thuners lost this match, and no, the Zurich would have won.

That was, thought even FCZ coach Ludovic Magnin, a "strange game". He therefore played on the peculiarities of a starting match with inconsistencies and automatisms often missing, but also on the result, which was not obvious after these 90 minutes. Because Magnin, always in search of honest declarations, recognized "that Thun would have deserved a point". He had not missed the fact that his FCZ had to push the line twice and that Thun's captain, Dennis Hediger, hit the post.

However, a cartoon match was not mandatory as it In the starting team of Zurich were only two new players, the sixth Hekuran Kryeziu and the right-handed Salim Khelifi. In the Bernern, there was only one, midfielder Basil Stillhart. The management of the FCZ at halftime was justified in that he had exploited a big blunder from the enemy and had admitted nothing. That's why Magnin thought his team had at least shown good results in the first half. The tuner Marc Schneider had also found the backlog: "We were not there after a good first minute. We played a bad first half. "

However, his team lost not because of that and despite a" very good second half ", as Schneider found.Thun lost because defender Rick Gelmi defeated Marco Schönbächler in Zurich 1-0 because, again, Gelmi and his colleague Stefan Glarner looked bad at Adrian Winters 2-0, especially Schneider had to accept a defeat because his team had four best chances in A quarter of an hour after the break .It was understandable that the coach said: "We would not have stolen a point." Finally, Magnin agreed, but this also applies. Fouls in the final and two serious defensive errors are often a deadly combination.

Magnin responded to Thuner's set of chances by substituting Nefs as the third central defender, and Nef brought some stability to a center in part. still, two objectives would have been possible in the final phase. So for the FCZ finally, it was at least the result. And the Thuner can say, on this success can accumulate. How to speak after the start of the games without absolute conclusions.
