FC St. Gallen's last five draws in a row were in front of a home crowd. And against Lausanne-Sport, too, it did not look for a long time like the long-awaited liberation, although the eastern Swiss were able to operate in superior numbers for an hour after Karim Sow's emergency brake.
Only Willem Geubbels put the superior Eastern Swiss side on the road to victory around 20 minutes before the end - with the kind help of Karlo Letica, who allowed the actually harmless header to pass.
Prior to this, St. Gallen had to chase back a goal twice. The visitors shocked coach Enrico Maassen's team at the start of both halves. Kaly Sène scored after five minutes to give them an early lead, while Alvyn Sanches put the St. Gallen backline to the sword four minutes into the second half, by which time they were already short-handed. However, Lukas Görtler and Christian Witzig responded promptly to the setbacks and equalized the score within a short space of time.
Due to a lack of chances, St. Gallen had to tremble for victory against their favorite opponent until the very end. The team from eastern Switzerland have now won seven of their last eight games against the Vaud side. For Ludovic Magnin's team, on the other hand, a run of five games without defeat in the Super League came to an end.
