In the last Super League match against Lausanne-Sport, which is meaningless from a sporting point of view, GC fielded the B eleven to spare the first team for the barrage against Aarau - and surprisingly won 3:1.
The Grasshoppers traveled to the Vaud region with their U21 team to save themselves for the barrage and accepted a possible defeat. However, the youngsters showed what is possible with the right attitude. The 18-year-old Dominik Papic put Zurich ahead with the first opportunity, and 20-year-old Demis Fiechter made it 2-0 shortly before the break with a perfect lob. 20-year-old Christian Kouamé put the final point on the board.
Lausanne, who were forced to play a game against Servette after the fan riots in the derby, tried to respond but failed to produce anything worthwhile in attack for a long time. The negative highlight was the sending off of Theo Bair, who was shown two yellow cards within four minutes.
The victory was probably also a small satisfaction for GC coach Peter Zeidler after he had been dismissed from Lausanne-Sport a month earlier. The Grasshoppers continue their campaign on Monday with the first leg of the barrage in Aarau. The second leg will take place on Thursday in Zurich.
