Report nowThe women of FC Zurich win the cup at home in the Letzigrund. The underdogs win the final against FC Basel 1:0.
It was the 80th minute when two substitutes made the difference. Martina Cavar showed a good eye with her pass to Chiara Bücher and the 21-year-old German tucked the ball past Basel goalkeeper Anna Klink and into the net. The 1:0 in the final phase came out of nowhere; the Zurich team had not been dangerous in the opposing penalty area for a long time.
The Zurich team won their 16th cup title in front of a record crowd of 8664 spectators. They saw FCZ achieve something historic: they are now alone at the top of the record Cup winners' table. In 2022, the Zurich club drew level with Young Boys. Zurich's women have won half of their Cups in the last 13 years.
For FCB, who had gone into the game as favorites, the cup defeat was a huge disappointment. The Basel team, who had scored seven more points than the Zurich team in the championship, missed numerous chances in the match. Qendresa Krasniqi had the best opportunity after just over 40 seconds. After a beautiful cross-field pass, she failed to hit the ball properly from a promising position. In the second half, Milena Nikolic ran alone towards the opposing goal but missed the target.
Basel, who won the cup in 2011, are thus still waiting for their second club title.
