No winner in the Wankdorf Grgic penalty secures Lugano a point at YB

YB and Lugano face off in the Wankdorf. With a win, the Ticino side could extend their lead over the Bernese side to eight points. Watch the match in the video ticker from 16:30.

Alvyn Sanches' ninth goal since his return to the Bernese team at the end of October following a cruciate ligament rupture gave YB the perfect start. In the 5th minute, the Swiss international benefited from Alan Virginius' ideal assist and beat former YB keeper David von Ballmoos in the visitors' goal.

FC Lugano deserved the equalizer in the following minutes because they always made an effort and had one or two dangerous finishes, especially after the break. The redemption for the Ticino side came in the 65th minute with a penalty. After Chris Bedia had fouled Uran Bislimi in his own penalty area, specialist Anto Grgic scored to make it 1-1.

The draw keeps Lugano five points ahead of YB and well positioned in the race for the European Cup places. Should FC St. Gallen win the Cup, the first four places should be enough for international business. Otherwise, only the top three will qualify for the European Cup.
