- Zurich beat Larnaca 1: 2 in the fifth round of EL at home.
- The guests of Cyprus, whose failure was already determined before the match, do not fear brutal fouls.
- Because Leverkusen scores a point against Ludogorets, the group wins for FCZ.
It had already been feared in advance that Zurich's motivation would not be too great given the qualification already established for the knockout stage. But the bonus of victory and the prospect of winning the group could have been an incentive for the FCZ.
A product of chance for leadership
It was apparently not. The Swiss performed extremely well in their 5th European League match against Larnaca. Offensively with little impact, vulnerable on the defense: Trained central back Mirlind Kryeziu ran like a left winger and was fooled several times.
As the Cypriots did not go to the Sahara, the goal of the opening (38th) was rather a coincidence shortly before the break: Fabio Dixon was missing a cross from the right, Larnacas Apostolos Giannou could not just do not avoid it. From him, the ball rebounded in the Zurich case.
Zurich improves but does not reward itself
After the break, the hosts were stronger in front of around 6000 spectators in Letzigrund. There were, however, few possibilities of purpose. It was therefore unsurprisingly a standard that made the goal of Zurich (74.) the interim 1: 1. On a free kick of about 20 meters, Adrian Winter deceived the shot , Salim Khelifi sent the ball away for a corner.
A friend of Jeffren turns Palsson
The last word belonged to Larnaca. Ivan Trickovski (85.) took advantage of his shot at the 2: 1 bend in the hippest hinterland of the FCZ.
The Cypriot guests tried to compensate for the playful deficiencies by physical difficulties and did not even fear the unjust means. Especially brutal: Florian Taulemesse's foul against FCZ captain Victor Palsson. He's slightly fired with Yellow. Breaker: The "Züri Derby" takes place on Sunday and Taulemesse is a good friend of GC Jeffren.
Leverkusen is fighting for a point
As Mitchel Weiser of Leverkusen scored the Werkself in the 85th minute to score the 1-1 goal, the Germans are about to win the group. Bayer has bitten against the massive defense of Ludogorets. Marcelinho had scored visitors to Bulgaria after 69 minutes in the lead. Before the last round, Leverkusen, who has to play against Larnaca, has a point ahead of Zurich.
