FC St. Gallen head into the winter break with a third win in a row and their championship ambitions intact. In Zurich, Enrico Maassen's team underlined its strength on the road this season. Since this summer, no other Super League team has won more points per away game on average than the team from eastern Switzerland.
At the Letzigrund, Aliou Baldé and Hugo Vandermersch ensured victory with their goals. Baldé scored in the 28th minute to make it 1-0, his fourth goal in the last six games, while Vandermersch made it 2-1 shortly after the break. The Frenchman successfully dusted off a previous interplay between Baldé and Alessandro Vogt.
Four days after the 6:2 spectacle at Young Boys, Grasshoppers mostly played a supporting role in their own stadium. Jonathan Asp Jensen and Lovro Zvonarek, on loan from Bayern Munich, provided the GC highlights with a shot off the crossbar (22') and a 1:1 (42').
