The scores for the catch-up game: Winti quartet enthusiastic, FCZ three-man chain fails

If there were a ‘Poop Goal of the Month’ section in Switzerland, Loic Lüthi would almost certainly be among the nominees. Instead of hitting the ball over the roof of the stadium, he shoots it at FCZ playmaker Antonio Marchesano. Like an arc lamp, the ball flies over Winti goalkeeper Marvin Keller and into the net. A physically almost impossible goal. A Christmas present twelve days before Christmas Eve.

The only twenty-year-old Lüthi, from Winterthur, is not deterred by the mistake and therefore plays a good match. Also because his neighbor Remo Arnold towers above everyone. Both in size (1.90 m) and in performance. Together with goalkeeper Marvin Keller, who miraculously fishes Okita’s shot out of the corner. Sayfallah Ltaief, who prepared the 1-0 lead with a great individual action, and captain Luca Zuffi, who pulls the strings centrally, Arnold is one of the four Winti players who can inspire.

However, at FCZ the entire line of defense fails. Above all, boss Nikola Katic, who sees the yellow box early on because he complains. Not necessarily the best idea as a central defender. Goalkeeper Brecher has also seen better days. Although he made a strong save against Matteo di Giusto in the second half, Brecher found himself caught between the legs as Basil Stillhart made it 1-0.

Zurich’s worst player plays up front. Daniel Afriyie doesn’t put one foot in front of the other. The 22-year-old has just one innocent finish to his name. To make matters worse, he had to leave the field injured in the second half.
