Super League clash ends St Gallens Serie as Seoane recovers
In the 11th round of the Super League, Young Boys finally ended St Gallens Serie with a 2‑0 home win at Wankdorf, while FC Zürich and Servette each secured 2‑1 and 2‑0 victories respectively, underscoring a day of Swiss success.
YB break Bern drought
Young Boys dominated the first half, dictating play and creating the opening goal before half‑time. Assistant coach Matteo Vanetta directed the side from the bench as the Berner side lacked the final cutting edge in front of goal.
Edimilson Fernandes was shown a direct red card in the 78th minute after a tackle on Lukas Görtler that struck the St. Gallen captain with his other foot, a decision made by referee Lukas Fähndrich. The dismissal gave the visitors a brief surge, though they had only 30 percent possession up to that point.
Seven minutes from time, Cédric Zesiger blocked a late effort on the line, preserving the clean sheet. Despite the red card, St. Gallen managed only a handful of chances and could not find the net.
Gerardo Seoane could not be on the sidelines after a Friday hospital stay for dizziness and an inner‑ear nerve inflammation. The 47‑year‑old left the hospital on Saturday afternoon and is expected to resume duties at Wankdorf next week.
Servette clinches win with dream goal, Vaduz stays without away points
Other Swiss clubs also win
FC Zürich rattled Luzern 2‑1 at home, while Servette defeated promoted Vaduz 2‑0 on their own turf. Both results added to the Swiss tally of victories on the same matchday.
St. Gallen will host Servette at their home stadium the following Saturday, and Young Boys will welcome FC Zürich at Wankdorf the day after. The upcoming fixtures keep the Super League calendar tightly packed.
Lewin Blum, the 25‑year‑old midfielder, extended his contract with Young Boys until 2029 after missing the St. Gallen game due to a yellow‑card suspension. Blum progressed through the club’s youth system, spent a loan spell at Charleroi, and has made 149 league appearances for the Berner side.
Historically, St. Gallen had not won in Bern for 20 years until the previous season, when they celebrated 2 Mal victories at Wankdorf – twice against Young Boys and once in a cup final against Stade‑Lausanne‑Ouchy. This season’s 11th‑round defeat continued their barren run.
