The visitors from Yverdon were close to their third win in a row for a long time. Marley Aké put his team ahead as early as the 9th minute: after a beautiful one-two with Antonio Marchesano, he shot the ball under the crossbar. It was precisely this precision in finishing that Marchesano lacked, as he stepped up to take a penalty after half an hour. The winter signing shot the ball well over the goal and missed the golden opportunity to give Yverdon a two-goal lead.
Sion, who were somewhat subdued after a crossbar goal in the 7th minute, came back into the game better in the second half. After a corner kick, defender Kreshnik Hajrizi was on hand with his head to score his second goal of the second half. The Valais side, who had always scored at least two goals in their previous three home games, were unable to score again.
As a result, the Valaisans have maintained their three-point lead over the Vaud side, but see their chances of finishing in the top half of the table dwindle. With four rounds to go, the gap to sixth-placed FC Zurich is seven points.
