After three games without a win, Lausanne return to winning ways. For a long time, it looked like the game would end in a draw before Diabaté and Okou decided the Romand derby in the Vaud side's favor deep into stoppage time.
Fousseni Diabaté and Teddy Okou scored in the 96th and 98th minute in the Stade de la Tuilière, which was once again packed with 9,200 spectators. The victory was accordingly fortunate, but not undeserved. And above all, it was a valuable one: instead of being almost impossible to catch up on five points, coach Ludovic Magnin's team go into the last two games before the division is split into two, three points behind sixth-placed FC Zurich. The goal difference is in Lausanne's favor (plus 7 to plus 1).
The Vaud side only struck when Sion finally activated their own attacking efforts. While the Valais side remained without any real goalscoring opportunities, Diabaté scored for the first time since the beginning of December. Okou's last goal was even a week longer ago. The game was interrupted for five minutes after an hour because smoke bombs were set off in the visitors' sector.
Man of the Match: Fousseni Diabaté
"Magnin's top scorer breaks all the dams at the Stade de la Tuilière. He couldn't have picked a better time to score his first goal after 14 games without scoring. He scores the winner in the 96th minute and keeps Lausanne's Championship Group hopes alive."
