The second meeting between Sion and Yverdon at the Tourbillon also ends in a 1-1 draw. A result that helps neither team.
The visitors from Yverdon were close to their third win in a row for a long time. Marley Aké put his team ahead as early as the 9th minute: after a beautiful one-two with Antonio Marchesano, he shot the ball under the crossbar. It was precisely this precision in finishing that Marchesano lacked, as he stepped up to take a penalty after half an hour. The winter signing shot the ball well over the goal and missed the golden opportunity to give Yverdon a two-goal lead.
Sion, who were somewhat subdued after a crossbar goal in the 7th minute, came back into the game better in the second half. After a corner kick, defender Kreshnik Hajrizi was on hand with his head to score his second goal of the second half. The Valais side, who had always scored at least two goals in their previous three home games, were unable to score again.
As a result, the Valaisans have maintained their three-point lead over the Vaud side, but see their chances of finishing in the top half of the table dwindle. With four rounds to go, they are seven points behind sixth-placed FC Zurich.

Man of the Match: Marley Aké
"Was omnipresent for Yverdon, especially in the first half, and was involved in almost all dangerous offensive actions. Unsurprisingly, he was also Yverdon's only scorer on the evening."
