When we rewind the black and white film of these first laps of the Swiss Cupwith Napkinsthere is bound to be the name of the Rondinella which arises from the memory of the ancients. That day in the commune of Neuveville, the “big” had been sufficient and arrogance before moving on to forceps against a modest formation of the 3rd league. We had grazed the Camouflet. The stars of the time, who were going to succeed in a historic quadrupled in the process, had suffered until the referee, Mr. Guignet d’Echallens, did a flower in the 95th minute to all these internationals, just before extensions. It was October 7, 1978, at the Saint-Joux stadium, in front of more than 3000 people …
This competition, which sometimes smells so good surprise, has always had a special taste for the little one that gives everything for this event in its season. With the exception of a savory invoice of 45,000 francs to pay for security costs, it was the party for Dardania Lausanne, which plays in the 2nd Inter league and is suddenly placed under the spotlight.
President of the Kosovar club, Behar Abdullahu had a smile two hours before hostilities. “Our club is 30 years old and it was out of the question to plunge him into debts. If we maintained the match, it was for the players and the people who follow us, let go of the manager. The magic of the cut took over. And also because you never know. We too know this story of Rondinella! ”

It has been weeks since in these Chavannes-Renens changing rooms, these amateur players only talked about that of this Servette FC in crisis, in the middle of “doubt”, that he was ripe to fall. So yes, the Lausanne suburbs, who also thought of Breitenrein who was the last, nine years ago, to eliminate garnet at this stage of competition, believed there. Except that in front, we had felt the trap.
If the recent winner of the Vaud Cup emptied all of his trunk and his savings at the start of the game, it was insufficient to “pay” a feat. If he had a plan to hold as long as possible, it would have been necessary to mark very quickly. And it was rather the visitor, who was able to wait for his hour, who knew how to get back in the saddle, via a goal in the 35th of Stevanovic (Magnin service), always there when it comes to unlocking a situation
Alonzo Vincent’s first
Back from the Netherlands during the week when Servette had lost again to Utrecht (2-1), the Genevans were able to evolve on a pace higher than their opponent to logically make the difference. There will be no Rondinella bis, nor a feat of a Dardania who finally came across much stronger than him. Servette rose with to conclude the first goal with Alonzo Vincent pros, 17, from the Garnet Academy.
If in his dreams the local porter Kylian Munoz Sanchez was brought as a hero at the end, he quickly had to be disillusioned, overwhelmed by reality. “We said to ourselves why not, each year there is always a surprise, especially with the situation they were living, but we did what we could, sighed the goalkeeper at the end of the meeting. Physically, we were clearly below the Genevans. Even if they had played on Thursday, it went too fast for us. We have no regrets. It was a good experience to live even if we were outclassed. »»
Like the garnet supporters who came in number with their smoke bombs, the Genevans were able to afford an afternoon without stories. “When you are in a fairly negative spiral like that, coming here, on such a terrain, it was complicated admitted Dylan Bronn, author of 0-4 to rust it. We remained serious, compact, by waiting, which allowed us to unlock the situation. It is sure that it does a lot of good for the whole team. The Servettians needed it.
La Patte Gourvennec?
Is it already the leg of Jocelyn Gourvennec? “I just think that we are more patient, when we have the ball, we try to keep it with someone in front of the defense as support. We must be smarter about the management of matches. The coach immediately brought his experience and it shows. We hope it will continue like this for the future. »»
From the words to the acts, Servette is rewinding the film that has resumed colors…
