Both clubs had split their teams into two last weekend before the start of the competitive game in order to be able to play several friendly games; the protégés of the new Altach coach Miroslav Klose had already dueled with FC Winterthur (1: 1) at the “Season Opening”. In Bludenz (AUT), Vorarlberg, who only managed to stay in the top division last season on the final day of the season, immediately took the lead with the first chance to finish. FCA equalized in the 36th minute through Nikola Gjorgjev. Aarauer Gashi missed a penalty shortly before the break. Gjorgjev’s shot after the break was all the more precise, when he curled a free kick into the far corner from the left to make it 2-1 for FC Aarau (57′).
Tomorrow the start of the season with a home game
FC Aarau concludes its preparatory phase with the third win in four games, supplemented by the success at the blitz tournament in Baden. Tomorrow, Friday (kick-off at 8:15 p.m.), the new 2022/23 Challenge League season will be launched with a home game against FC Vaduz at the Brügglifeld stadium.
