Flattering draw Lucerne avert defeat in Yverdon at the last minute

Lucerne struggled for a long time in Yverdon. The home side took a 2-0 lead and seemed to have the game under control for long stretches. Karweina from the penalty spot and Stankovic with a header avert defeat for Lucerne in the last minute.

Yverdon miss out on an important victory in the battle to stay in the Super League. The Vaud side squandered a two-goal lead against Lucerne at home. Thanks to two late goals, the FCL managed to secure a point in a 2-2 draw

In recent weeks, Winterthur and St. Gallen, who both left the shores of Lake Neuchâtel without any points, have learned that Yverdon are difficult to beat in their own stadium. FC Luzern are now the third team in a row to experience the home strength of Paolo Tramezzani's team.

Lucerne, who were top of the Super League ex-aequo before this round, fell 2-0 behind after an hour and goals from Marley Aké and Moussa Baradji, so that it looked for a long time as if Mario Frick's team would suffer their eighth defeat of the season.

But the FCL showed comeback qualities. A double strike from Sinan Karweina and Aleksandar Stankovic in the 88th and 89th minutes at least secured a point for the visitors. Kevin Spadanuda had previously missed a Lucerne penalty a quarter of an hour before the end. Karweina then did better from the spot and heralded the spectacular comeback.
