The 32-year-old German Sonny Kittel scored his first goal in Switzerland in the 51st minute to make it 1-0 for GC. Although Young Boys won at the Letzigrund and in the Cup against FC Zurich during the week, they continue to struggle away from home in the championship. Of their last nine away games, YB have won just one (2:1 in Lausanne) with five defeats and three draws.
The success of the Grasshoppers, who won a home game for the first time since the end of August, fitted in well with the surprising results in the Sunday games of this 26th Super League round. FC Yverdon Sports held Luzern to a 2:2 draw - and should have won, as Yverdon led 2:0 until the 88th minute.
FC Lugano had already lost 3-0 at home to Zurich.
Basel had already won against Sion (2-0) and Servette the Léman derby in Lausanne (1-0) on Saturday. And although Winterthur outclassed FC St. Gallen 4:0, they were among the losers of the round on Sunday evening. The gap to Yverdon and Grasshoppers remains at 5 and 6 points respectively.
At the top of the table, Basel and Servette, Saturday's winners, moved slightly clear of Luzern and Lugano.
Results:
Saturday: Basel - Sion 2:0 (2:0). Winterthur - St. Gallen 4:0 (3:0). Lausanne-Sport - Servette 0:1 (0:1). - Sunday: Lugano - Zurich 0:3 (0:1). Grasshoppers - Young Boys 1:0 (0:0). Yverdon - Luzern 2:2 (0:0).
