Always unbeaten in Super League, after two successes and a draw last weekend against Young Boys, FC Sion did not miss its Swiss Cup on Friday. On the synthetic lawn of the Courgenay sports complex, the club with thirteen coronations in the competition won 2-0 against FC Ajoie-Monterri, a training of the second interregional league.
A year after the beautiful fright lived in front of Delémont, a victory for the penalties which had been preceded by an arrival of Christian Constantin as a helicopter, the Sedunois now give off a form of serenity. This time without its president, in an arena with closed counters (2500 spectators), Sion greatly made his life easier by finding the way to the net very early.
After six minutes of play, Bouchlarhem invented a dribbling in the surface to cause a penalty. And Chipperfield Junior did not tremble at all (7th). The Valais left side hurt the players of Thierry Payet very much at the start of the game and the unusable Hefti, a center from his left flank, allowed Boteli, for the first time this season, to double the bet (32nd).
From that moment, Sion entered management mode. We saw Lavanchy shout on his friends after a saving return, Hajrizi being expelled – not sure that this is completely justified – for a fault of last appeal (60th) and the goalkeeper Racioppi stammers a recovery to the foot. That’s it. Ajoie-Monterri spent a beautiful evening and did not deserve it but this Zion is serious.
