The game

Pure joy for the FCZ women. A comfortable 3–0 win over Servette saw them clinch their second consecutive league title and their 24th in club history.

For the fans of 1937 in the Kybunpark in St. Gallen, the team from Zurich was clearly the better team from the start and managed to convert their dominance into something measurable just before the break. Almost with the half-time signal, the Austrian Marie-Thérèse Höbinger put her colors ahead and with that a masterclass.

With two more goals in the last fifteen minutes, Humm and Pilgrim finally put the lid on the playoff final and FCZ shot into Swiss football heaven. President Ancillo Canepa was enthusiastic about SRF after the game: “I really enjoy the success. The players did a great job and really impressed me. What was shown here today has touched me emotionally and is also a huge success for Swiss women’s football.”

On the other hand, cup winner Servette disappoints across the board. The Genevans, who have not lost a single game all season (playoffs and qualifying phase), remain far too harmless and if they do finish, they fail due to the strong FCZ goalkeeper Sereina Friedli, who played her last game for the team of Zurich completed (she moves to Anderlecht).

Particularly bitter: for Servette, the defeat is a déjà vu. You already lost the play-off final against FCZ last year, then with penalties.

The goals

45 minutes, Marie-Thérèse Höbinger, 0:1 – Servette cannot completely clear an FCZ corner kick, the ball jumps at Höbinger’s feet just before the edge of the penalty area. The Austrian didn’t hesitate for a moment and shot the ball into the bottom left corner, which was very rewarding.

75 minutes, Fabienne Humm, 0:2 – Piusel brings the ball into the penalty area after a strong individual action, where Egli is the first to fail at Servette goalie Pereira. The rebound lands on FCZ Captain Humm, who puts the ball in the goal.

92 minutes, Alayah Pilgrim, 0:3 – After winning the ball, Humm quickly switches and launches Pilgrim. The 20-year-old passes opponent Pimenta and makes the final decision only for Pereira.

Best

Seraina Pipel. On her 23rd birthday, the FCZ player is the tireless offensive engine, repeatedly overwhelming the Servette defense.

The worst

Natalia Padilla. She decided the cup final and scored goals continuously during the season. But in the playoff finals, the napkin clipper is a total failure.

That was something to talk about

The FCZ players wear special jerseys to warm up. The inscription: “Gueti Besserig, Kim”, plus the number 24. It is about co-star Kim Dubs, who appears in the stands with a raised foot in a wheelchair. The FCZ midfielder tore her Achilles tendon in the semi-final against GC and had to be operated on.

Here’s how to proceed

End of the season in the Super League – but for a whole series of finalists, it continues in the national team. Seraina Friedli and Sydney Schertenleib from Zurich will be in Magglingen next Tuesday for the first week of preparation for the World Cup. For everyone else, such as Fabienne Humm, Seraina Piubel, Marion Rey, Nadine Riesen, Naomi Mégroz, Julia Stierli and Coumba Sow and Sandrine Mauron from Geneva, there are a few days off first. camp (the exact team is not yet clear).
