After an early goal by Albian Ajeti (5th minute), the visitors from Basel had to concede an equalizer by Ilyas Chouaref in the 26th minute. This put an end to Marwin Hitz's unbeaten run, having kept a clean sheet in the previous three games. The action flattened out noticeably in the second half, and nothing more happened in the final minutes, which Sion were able to play in superior numbers after Basel's Leon Avdullahu was sent off.
The first goal in Yverdon came even earlier than in Sion. Giotto Morandi put the visitors from Zurich ahead in the 3rd minute, giving them hope of a second win in a row. In the second half, however, the home team managed to turn the game around. Boris Cespedes and Hugo Komano scored for the home team after a defensive blunder to secure three points for the first time this season.
