Goals in the video Sion sweep Lugano off the pitch - a perfect start for the Ticino side

The bad start to the season is perfect for the ambitious FC Lugano: After the home defeat against newly promoted Thun, they suffered a 4-0 defeat away against Sion.

In Ticino, the house is in a very bad way. The start to the new season could not have been worse. A 2-1 defeat against the newly promoted team to start the season, followed by a 210-minute defeat to Cluj in the Europa League qualifiers without scoring. There was no turnaround in Valais, on the contrary.

Coach Mattia Croci-Torti's team let themselves be dismantled by a by no means outstanding FC Sion without conviction, without penetration in attack and frighteningly helpless at the back.

Josias Lukembila opened the scoring as early as the 4th minute, which naturally played into the hands of the Valais side. Shortly before the break, Ilyas Chouaref increased the lead to 2:0 for the mercilessly efficient Sion side. Benjamin Kololli's third goal after an hour was already more than a preliminary decision, and Rilind Nivokazi's 4:0 was just an encore. Goalkeeper Amir Saipi also looked less than happy on two occasions.

While Sion started the season with two wins, as they did last season, Lugano will have to go back to the drawing board. After almost four mostly very successful years, Croci-Torti now also needs a sense of achievement quickly if his chair is not to become unstable soon.
