There had already been a hail of goals in the first leg at the end of October. In Zurich, the two clubs played a 3-3 draw in Letzigrund. Now GC, which is currently in the bottom third of the table, managed to win in a turbulent game.

After a high-scoring first half in which GC gained a 3-1 lead, Gerardo Seoane’s team started the second 45 minutes well. Seoane’s YB became significantly stronger and scored the next goal in the 60th minute thanks to Chris Bedia, before Marvin Keller even parried a penalty from Lovro Zvonarek.

But the momentum still didn’t tip over to the Bernese side. Instead, they literally fell apart in the last 15 minutes. Luke Plange made it 4:2 – YB player Rayan Raveloson was sent off because of an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the goal.
