Madness on the Schützenwiese Controversial penalty goal saves Winterthur a draw against Yverdon

Winterthur avoids a bitter last-minute defeat in the relegation battle. Fabian Frei scored the 2:2 against Yverdon in stoppage time.

Frei, who will retire after the season, scored from the penalty spot in the 96th minute. A good 20 minutes earlier, Roman Buess had also missed the golden opportunity to equalize from eleven metres.

FCW were 2-0 down after 38 minutes at their Schützenwiese home ground, but Matteo Di Giusto scored the equalizer before the break.

Thanks to the draw, Winterthur remain one point ahead of the Vaud side, who occupy last place in the table with one round to go and would currently be directly relegated.
