For their second Super League match, Servette FC welcomed FC Saint-Gall this Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Geneva stadium. The Grenats aimed to react after the heavy defeat conceded last Wednesday.
What to remember:
After two consecutive setbacks-all competitions combined-the Grenats had to bounce back against the Saint-Gallois. Thomas Häberli surprised by lining up a composition largely reworked compared to previous meetings. Jeremy Frick regains his place in the goals as well as the captain’s armband, while Lilian Njoh, freshly arrived, knows his first tenure.
The thread of the match:
The meeting begins timidly, without real intensity or frank occasion. The two teams gauge each other and the public has little to put themselves under the tooth.
But in the 11th minute, a pressing by Willem Geubbels pushes Jérémy Frick to the fault: his too late revival bounces on the attacker and finished at the bottom. 0-1. Four minutes later, visitors double the bet thanks to their number 9, forgotten by Dylan Bronn. 0-2.
You have to wait half an hour to see Servette react. A long opening of Dylan Bronn finds Guillemenot, who puts for Stevanovic. The latter reduces the gap of a specific shot. 1-2.
Hope is short -lived. On their first corner, the Saint-Gallois mark again, this time thanks to a head of Alessandro Vogt. 1-3.
At the start of the second period, the men of Enrico Maßen passed very close to the fourth goal twice. Opposite, Servette is struggling to worry the opposing defense. Grenats, apathetic, seem closer to collecting a new goal than to return to the score.
The yellow cards are linked on the Servettien side, a symptom of palpable frustration linked to the series of bad results.
Finally, at the very end of the match, Aliou Baldé transforms a penalty and definitively seals the fate of the game. 1-4.

The turn of the match:
The Bourde of the number 32 Grenat: Captain Servettien was completely missed in the 11th minute, offering the first goal in Saint-Gall. An error that placed visitors in an armchair for the rest of the meeting.
The match player:
In the garnet sinking, a man stands out: despite the defeat and the many Servettian gaps, Lamine Fomba is doing well. Combative and constant, he tried to keep the course, unfortunately too lonely in the middle of a team in difficulty.
On the Saint-Gallois side, a man shone: Unsurprisingly, Willem Geubbels was the man of the match. Author of a double, the French striker has delivered a high-level performance, perhaps his last in the green and white jersey. Announced on departure for an estimated transfer of 5.5 million euros, its value should only increase after such a match.
Häberli will have attempted everything, including the option of a “fake new” with Stevanovic at a point. But nothing helps: the grenats, too shy ball at the foot, have never really worried their opponent. This third consecutive defeat confirms the current difficulties of the SFC.
