FC Bienne restarts with a setback for the leader

FC Biel lost when the Promotion League resumed. The Zealand footballers lost 3-2 on Saturday evening on the reserve ground of FC Lucerne. Facing the championship leader, Jean-Michel Aeby’s men were coldly picked by conceding the opener after 5 minutes of play. But the Biel residents equalized 2 minutes later through Samuel Carri. They even took the lead 20 minutes later thanks to a victorious free kick from Adama Diakité.

The tea barely digested, the Lucerne came back up to the Seelanders in the 51st. The FCB will have stood up to the leader until the 79th minute, the moment chosen by Lucerne and Mihailo Stevanovic, author of a hat-trick, to pass the shoulder on penalty.

In the standings, FC Bienne remains above the bar with 3 points ahead of the relegated YF Juventus having played one game less. /nmy
