Also in the victory against Armenia: the Swiss U21 is Europe’s crowd magnet!

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fwWrRV”>

Temperatures of almost 6 degrees. Drizzle. Annoying is just an auxiliary expression for the weather conditions on the Maladière. Nevertheless, 5,561 fans make a pilgrimage to the stadium and celebrate the third victory in the fourth European Championship qualifying match in the 3-0 win against Armenia. Fan magnet National team U21! There were also more than 5,500 in attendance for the 5-2 win against Montenegro; no other European country has more people attending national U21 team matches.

The fans get to see a team that is not as well staffed individually as in previous years, but has one of the most promising midfielders in the country in Fabian Rieder. He is currently eating heavy reserve bread at Stade Rennes, but he does not show his lack of match training and takes the lead in the 37th minute after a foul penalty. Earlier, Armenian defender Hamlet Mnatsakanyan entered the game rustically and caught both the ball and the foot of Lausanne gem Alvyn Sanches with his monster tackle.

Switzerland back in first place

In the second half, Rieder scored again from the spot, before captain and Stuttgart reserve Leonidas Stergiou was roughly knocked over by the opposition goalkeeper. In between, GC striker Bradley Fink takes the lead with two goals with a header. The ranking attacker is assisted by Franck Surdez, who conjures up a massive cross from his left foot. In the final phase, Sanches (with a very fine finishing in terms of shooting technique) and Wil striker Nikolas Muci scored in goalgetter style. 5:0! The U21 national team is back in first place in qualifying group E.

Did Ardon Jashari also see the match? He decided not to join the national U21 team. And before that, playing football in front of more than 5,500 people.
