Video highlights GC beat Sion to claim their first win of the season

At the fifth attempt, it worked: Grasshoppers beat Sion 3:1 thanks to goals from Lee Young-Jun, Kristers Tobers and Tsiy-William Ndenge to record their first win of the Super League season.

The Grasshoppers waited almost a month for a work permit for Lee Young-Jun, the 21-year-old South Korean striker. A few days before the fifth Super League game of the season, Lee finally got the go-ahead and needed just 42 seconds to score for the first time in his first match for GC.

The next GC goalscorer on Saturday evening, Latvian defender Kristers Tobers, ended a drought of almost five years without scoring. Just over an hour and three minutes after Sion had equalized, the 23-year-old scored with a drop-kick from 15 metres to make it 2:1, with Tsiy Ndenge securing victory in the 90th minute.

Even if the three Zurich goals were somewhat coincidental, the victory was deserved. GC did a lot and also had good chances in addition to the actions that led to the goals. Sion offered little apart from the beautiful combination that preceded Kevin Bua's 1:1. Thanks to the win, GC relinquished last place in the table to YB.

Man of the Match: Tsiy Ndenge

He seems to have rediscovered his form, taking the reins in the center. In top form, he is a huge asset to this team. Crowns his performance with a goal.
