Swiss Super League stalls as top teams settle for frustrating draws
The Swiss Super League witnessed a series of draws over the weekend, with key teams unable to secure wins. The boys from Young Boys Bern, Sion, and Luzern all shared the points in tightly contested matches. The results left the league table largely unchanged, though frustration grew for sides chasing higher positions.
Young Boys Bern started strongly against Grasshoppers, taking the lead in the 31st minute through Alvyn Sanches. But their advantage slipped away as Gregory Wüthrich received a second yellow card in the 66th minute, reducing them to ten men. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Darian Males thought he had scored a late winner, only for VAR to rule it out for a foul. Maximilian Ullmann then equalised for Grasshoppers in the 79th minute, sealing a 1–1 draw.
The match extended Young Boys' inconsistent form, having now dropped five points from winning positions this season. Gerardo Seoane's side, sitting sixth with 32 points from 22 games, have struggled to convert leads into victories.
Elsewhere, Sion and Luzern played out a goalless stalemate, marking Sion's fifth consecutive draw and Luzern's fourth. Neither side could break the deadlock despite creating chances, continuing a trend of shared points for both teams.
Winterthur also settled for a 1–1 draw at home to Lugano, despite playing against ten men for most of the game. Their hopes of a win were dashed by a late penalty decision, leaving them without a clean sheet.
The weekend's results reinforced the league's competitive nature, with multiple teams dropping points in close contests. Young Boys remain sixth, while Sion and Luzern stay locked in mid-table battles. Winterthur, meanwhile, missed a chance to climb higher after failing to capitalise on their numerical advantage.
