Next cup surprise: St. Gallen embarrasses themselves with the promotion team

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

1/5
St. Gallen – here Mattia Zanotti (l.) against Sofiane Achour – has to go through at the bottom against Delémont.

Martin François and Matteo Cesca scored in the first half for SR Delémont, who last achieved a similar coup 21 years ago with a 6-5 penalty shootout victory against Lucerne in the first round of the cup. For St. Gallen, Julian von Moos was only able to shorten the match temporarily.

The outsider’s big victory over the Super League team at the Blancherie Stadium was not stolen. A bit flattering perhaps given the inferiority of the game, but not stolen given the strong first half and the impeccable defending in the second half, in which the guests repeatedly bounced against the Delémont stronghold.

St. Gall without solution

The surprisingly unimaginative professionals from St. Gallen limited the Jurassians to their goal in the last 20 to 30 minutes with the threat of elimination in mind. However, they found no solutions. The only slightly dangerous chances for an equalizer were Chadrac Akolo and, via a free kick, Jordi Quintillà.

St. Gallen became the third Superliga team to be eliminated, after Grasshoppers and Yverdon. The Eastern Swiss reached the finals in 2021 and 2022, but last season they failed in extra time in the quarter-finals against FC Basel. (SDA)
