Video highlights Efficient Zurich win in St.Gallen - penalty scene causes a stir

FC Zurich win 2:1 in St.Gallen and are now unbeaten in four games. FCSG, on the other hand, suffered a setback in the battle for the top of the table. The gap to Thun is now six points.

On October 23, FCZ dismissed Dutch coach Mitchell van der Gaag and replaced him on an interim basis with Dennis Hediger, who has been given until the end of the year to prove his qualities. Under Hediger, the Zurich club lost its first three games, extending its losing streak to five. But Hediger seems to have pressed the right buttons: In St.Gallen, his team underlined their upward trend and looked much more stable.

The visitors took the lead in the 6th minute through Matthias Phaeton. Christian Witzig equalized for the eastern Swiss side - his first goal since 8 March - and Philippe Kény made it 2-1 shortly before the break, despite FCZ being without four regular players in the form of the injured Nelson Palacio and the suspended Jahnoah Markelo, Livano Comenencia and Mariano Gómez.

Zurich have picked up ten points in their last four games, just three fewer than in the first twelve games of the current championship. They had already won their first match of the season against St.Gallen 3:1, having lost all four of their encounters last season. The team from eastern Switzerland had previously remained unbeaten four times in a row in all competitions.
