FC Schaffhausen win the Challenge League basement duel away against Stade Nyonnais 1:0 and hand the red lantern to the Vaud team.
For Schaffhausen, the victory is tantamount to a major liberation. Coach Ciriaco Sforza's team had lost five times in a row recently, with their last win dating back to the beginning of November (2:1 against Bellinzona). Aaron Appiah scored the golden goal after just a quarter of an hour.
Meanwhile, Aarau and Etoile Carouge kept up the pressure on leaders Thun. Aarau overturned a 2-0 deficit in a furious second half at Stade Lausanne-Ouchy to win 4-2, with Yannick Touré scoring twice. Carouge won 2:1 against Neuchâtel Xamax.
Aarau are now one point behind Thun, Etoile Carouge five. The Bernese Oberland side have the opportunity to restore the gap against relegation-threatened Bellinzona on Sunday.
