Swiss legionnaires shine abroad with decisive goals

At the weekend, the Swiss legionnaires abroad showed their scoring accuracy: The 27‑year‑old Eastern Swiss Lydia Andrade celebrated her first season goal for Cologne's women's team with a goal to make it 3‑0, while the 23‑year‑old Zurich native Aurélie Csillag scored for Liverpool for the second time and in the 60th minute headed the 1‑1 level against Tottenham.

First goals in the first half

In Germany, Lydia Andrade contributed her first season goal to Cologne's 3‑0 home win against Union Berlin, a result that gave the Cologne women their third consecutive victory. The goal came in the 83rd minute and was broadcast live by Beautiful Sports in Germany. The Cologne women dominated the first half and controlled the tempo of the game.

Leipzig's goalkeeper and goalie Elvira Herzog played a major role in her team achieving the first season win in the Bundesliga. In the fourth round, the 23‑time international defended the 1‑0 lead against Nürnberg and displayed strong saves, especially in the second half.

Decisive actions in the second half

Legend: GOAL! GOAL! From Union's goalkeeper's perspective, the 0‑1 goal was unlucky, said Nadine Böhi after the match. The Swiss player was struck by a teammate, and the ball ricocheted off her leg into her own net, which allowed the early goal for Cologne.

In England, Aurélie Csillag scored her second goal for Liverpool, a headed goal in the 60th minute, which equalised the score at 1‑1 against Tottenham and helped the team keep the match level.

The West Ham women showed high effort when Seraina Piubel, Nadine Riesen and Leila Wandeler secured the 2‑1 win in the London derby against the City Lionesses. Piubel set up the 1‑0 with a perfect through pass, Riesen broke through and Wandeler scored the second goal in the 70th minute.

Final results and reactions

The final score confirmed the strong performance of the Swiss women: Cologne's women celebrated the 3‑0 home win, Leipzig's goalie Herzog preserved the 2‑1 result, and Liverpool remained with a 1‑1 draw in the match. The results reinforce the view that the Swiss legionnaires abroad contribute decisively to the success of their teams.

Lydia Andrade celebrates her goal and emphasises that the strike boosts her confidence in the Bundesliga, while the Swiss players overall are proud of their performances abroad and aim to score more goals next weekend.
