FC Aarau are still struggling to find their feet. The first win of the season last week was followed by a 1:2 home defeat against Bellinzona.
The Ticino side are becoming the Aargau team's opponents to fear. Bellinzona have won four matches in a row since October 2023, three of them in Aarau.
Saturday evening's game had some parallels with the clash a year ago in October. Milot Avdyli put Aarau ahead again, but Bellinzona's Ilan Sauter was the match-winner. He scored twice a year ago and now made it 2:1 in the 65th minute after Rilind Nivokazi had equalized in the first half.
Following the win, Bellinzona are now second in the Challenge League, three points behind leaders Thun.
