Spectacle at the Letzigrund Lucerne trails twice against GC, but wins in the end thanks to Ferreira's goal

Two Lucerne debutants spoiled a perfect start to the 2025/26 Super League season for the "new" Grasshoppers and coach Gerald Scheiblehner. FCL win 3:2 at the Letzigrund.

Portuguese Lucas Manuel Silva Ferreira, who came over from the second team, decided the game with the winning goal in the 69th minute. It took the 18-year-old striker just over an hour to score his first goal in his first Super League game.

The Grasshoppers thus failed to reward themselves for a promising performance. They had taken the lead twice; in the 5th minute through a converted penalty by the fouled Nikolas Muci and after half an hour through the eye-catching new striker Luke Plange's first goal.

The fact that the Grasshoppers were unable to secure victory was primarily due to coordination problems in defense. The 1:1 was scored when Kevin Spadanuda was able to march completely free towards the penalty area after a kick from Pascal Loretz and serve Matteo Di Giusto. In the end, it was not new GC players who made the difference, but two Lucerne debutants.
