The international break will do Lausanne-Sport good. At the end of the 9th day of the Super League, Luka Elsner’s squad was corrected 0-4 by Lugano and conceded a third setback in a row. The Vaudois red lantern lasted 34 minutes before taking on water after returning from the locker room against the championship leaders.
The Vaudois’ start to the match had nevertheless been interesting, with a team playing high up the field and preventing the Ticino from deploying their game. But, apart from a deflection from Karim Sow (6th) on a cross-shot from Brandon Soppa, the lack of offensive edge hampered LS’s chances.
The Delcroix festival
Lugano gradually took control of the debates, appearing more and more threatening. The opening score fell following a corner, Hannes Delcroix propelling the ball to the right place (35th). The start of the Haitian defender festival.
Returning from the locker room, again from a corner, Delcroix rose higher than everyone to double the lead (48th). The LS was not going to recover, especially since Sekou Koné left his teammates ten against eleven, receiving a direct red for having wiped his crampons on the thigh of Anto Grgic (50th). A completely unnecessary gesture.
Lugano on a stroll
Two minutes later, Delcroix scored his third goal of the afternoon, again with a header (52nd). To make matters worse, Karim Sow again deceived his own goalkeeper by wanting to intervene in front of Albian Ajeti (61st). When nothing goes right…
Arriving at the start of the afternoon for their pre-match stroll on the quays of Ouchy, FC Lugano continued their stroll in the heights of Lausanne. The Ticino are now six steps ahead of Young Boys and Sion. As for the LS, it has until October 11 to raise its head. Luka Elsner has his work cut out for him.
