No time? blue Sport summarizes for you
- FC St.Gallen put themselves in a good position for the second leg of their Conference League qualifier against Slask Wroclaw with a 2-0 win.
- Chadrac Akolo and Willem Geubbels scored the goals.
- All the goals were scored in the 1st half.
The St. Gallen forward can also be relied upon on Wednesday evening at Kybunpark, which is packed with over 15,000 spectators. Chadrac Akolo made it 1:0 after less than five minutes and a perfect combination across numerous stations. Striking partner Willem Geubbels increased the score to 2:0 shortly before the break after a misplaced pass by the Poles and a quick pass into the deep by Akolo. After six games of the season, the two attackers have dream scores: Akolo has four goals and two assists, Geubbels three goals and two assists.
St. Gallen's victory was well deserved, even though the Poles came close to scoring several times. The crossbar and repeatedly the strong goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi prevented the Poles from scoring.
Second leg next Thursday
St. Gallen can take the numerous scoring chances created by the visitors as a warning ahead of the second leg in Wroclaw in a week's time.
The 2:0 is good groundwork, but not a preliminary decision for coach Enrico Maassen's team, who will host Grasshoppers in the Super League on Sunday between the two clashes against Slask.

FCSG almost make it 3-0
Quintillà plays the ball to Cissé, who crosses the ball wonderfully to Mambimbi. The striker takes the ball centrally in front of the opponent's box. Keeper Leszczynski is able to deflect the ball decisively onto the crossbar. At last, a little bit of spice in this game.

FCSG striker with mega block
Wow, it was almost dangerous. Slask gets his shot away in the penalty area, but the onrushing Csoboth can just about block the ball with a sliding tackle. The striker is rewarded for his important defensive action with a round of applause.

Zigi has to stretch
Something has happened again: The visitors from Poland have a shot from the edge of the penalty area. The shot is a tough one. Zigi once again has to make a save and loudly communicates his dissatisfaction to his defenders. FCSG continue to keep a clean sheet. And the stadium announcer is also immediately called into action: 15,090 spectators at Kybunpark.

FCSG on course
The game is less entertaining now. Or in other words: St.Gallen have the action under control. They kept a clean sheet at the back and made a few pinpricks up front. However, there were no scenes worth mentioning.

Break at Kybunpark - a brief summary
FC St.Gallen go into the break with a 2-0 lead and this is anything but a foregone conclusion. The visitors from Poland had several great chances, particularly between the 25th and 40th minute. They either failed against keeper Zigi or against themselves. The 2:0 is a princely reward for St.Gallen, but the lead is not stolen either. FCSG play a good game and convert their chances into goals.

Tooooor St.Gallen!
The last ten minutes were anything but rosy from St.Gallen's point of view and the eastern Swiss struck mercilessly. The Poles make a mistake in their build-up play. The wide-awake Akolo grabs the ball and passes to Geubbels. The Frenchman shoots the ball past the opposing keeper and into the goal. 2:0.

FCSG with a lot of luck!
The Poles sniff an equalizer here. First, central defender Petrov forces keeper Zigi into a flying save. The ball remains in play and the visitors hit the ball wide into the penalty area again. Samiec-Talar is in the right place, but the ball hits the crossbar. FCSG then manage to clear the ball by the skin of their teeth.

Akolo has the 2:0 on his feet
Many people probably already saw the ball in - possibly including Akolo himself. Geubbels receives the ball deep in the penalty area and passes it on to fellow striker Akolo. The 1:0 scorer is in the center of the goal, the opponent's box seems open. However, he does not hit the ball cleanly and it rolls somewhere where it is no longer dangerous.

Zigi with first important intervention
The Poles have their first really big chance. Musiolik suddenly appears in front of Zigi. The Espen keeper rushes out of the penalty area and defuses the ball in extremis. The opposing striker plays the ball to Zigi's shoulder.
