Three wrong decisions within one minute against FC Schaffhausen: Even the otherwise level-headed Hakan Yakin was bursting at the seams.
When, after an hour, the referee first wrongly called a Schaffhausen player back from offside, then overlooked a foul by Alves and seconds later assessed the Winterthur player’s fall at the edge of the penalty area as a foul – yes, the Munotstadt assistant coach couldn’t keep his seat. He hurries from the stands, from where he last watched the games, to the edge of the field. In his hand the mobile phone with which he rubs the mistakes under the noses of the fourth official. Yakin rages, head coach Martin Andermatt can only calm him down with difficulty.
Aarau moves up – 1 point between top trio
Yakin’s frustration is understandable: In this crazy Challenge League promotion race, every point can decide in the end. Because Winti top scorer Roman Buess stayed cool after the penalty decision, the top fight ended 1:1 in front of 9,000 spectators. Third-placed FC Aarau had previously won their away game in Neuchâtel comfortably 3-0. Which means: four laps before the end of the season, the merger at the top of the table is a fact: Winterthur 57, Schaffhausen and Aarau 56 points. Insanity! (whom)
Winterthur – Schaffhausen 1:1
Tore: 9. Gonzalez Pereira 0:1, 63. Buess (Pen.) 1:1.
Xamax – Aarau 0:3
Tore: 31. Balaj 0: 1, 45. + 1 Spadanuda 0: 2, 84. Rrudhani 0: 3.
